Ok, so experienced freshwater bass/trout (reel and fly) fisherman. Been offshore deep water plenty of times, mostly guided though. But little to no shallow saltwater exp. Going to Corpus with a buddy to fish this tournament on his shallow water, so targets are reds, trout, etc.
Given all my gear is freshwater except for a couple basic saltwater pier poles, looking for recs on a couple basic rigs (rod, real, line, leaders, jigs) so I don't look so green to shallow saltwater. Something I can swing by an Academy and grab without breaking the bank (as I don't foresee getting heavy into saltwater flats fishing anytime soon).
Jig recs from someone else going (have not google authenticity):
Super Spook Jr. bone white
Bass Assassin - 4 inch paddle tails: bone diamond, fried chicken, chicken on chain and electric shad.
Gulp: nuclear chicken, new penny or blue pepper neon.
TIA!
