If you think you can catch huge fish that have sharp teeth with 8lb test line, go for it :thumbsup:
For a decent saltwater rig, you're looking at $300+ for halfway decent gear. $1,000.00+ for the good stuff. A nice reel will run you about $400.00+
What exactly are you going fishing for? If it's just a short day trip then you should just rent something. For shore fishing you need a very long pole and a good conventional reel, although a spinning reel "might" do ok.
Kidding aside.......... when I was 11, I caught a 14-15lb channel cat in the st johns river with a Zebco 202 reel/10lb test line. Catching fish on smaller gear is possible but for saltwater fishing, unless you're on shore, I would go with a better setup
