My daughter and son in law recently moved north of Gulf Shores. Can anyone recommend where they can purchase a decent rod & real combo for pier fishing. Some place that can start them off "right". I've used Half Hitch Tackle in Panama City Beach before ( I fish the pier there) but am not familiar with the Gulf Shores area. Thanks in advance for any info!

What Travis said. Talk to J&M, they have rods and reels at good price points.
That said, a good starting point is a 7' medium rod with a 25/35/4500 series reel spinning combo with 10 or 12# line and a 7-8' Medium heavy rod with a 6500 series reel and 14# line. A rod for bait too.
