It depends on how you prefer to fish. If you're going to just throw a line out and soak bait, a 10-12' surf rod with a spinning reel in about the 6000 size range would be ideal. It would also have enough backbone to pull a decent size fish up on to a pier. The tackle you would need amounts to a few weighted leader setups (which you can find premade at any decent tackle shop) plus the bait itself. If that's the kind of fishing you're looking at I can give you some more detail. If you'd rather throw lures then that would require a completely different setup.

Guys if you use rod rulers check them. We checked all of ours this weekend after a fish measured short of the check it stik. Mine was 1.25" off. An 18 inch fish was showing 16 3/4 on my rod ruler. I've been letting 16" fish go for over a year!!!! 4 of our 6 where off when we measured them.

Better yet, don't use rod rulers. Wrap your marks on your rod with thread and apply a coat of finish over them.Originally posted by Fightinaggies View PostComment

True, but since you like fishing West Matty in the summertime you better go on and get that 15" mark put on your rod.Originally posted by Quackerbox View PostComment
