Hi, looking for a saltwater rod (thinking 6 1/2 or 7 foot) to go with my shimano spheros reel. Will be used for porgy, striper, bluefish, sea bass, fluke… Mostly from a boat but a few times on the shore.
Just picked up a Quantum Torsion 7′ 2pc Medium Spinning Rod at an auction for a dollar, almost didt get it becuase of the brand but for a dollar…? My question is it is a thin rod but 7 foot long, so is it a saltwater rod? If so can it be used for fluke(flouder) off a boat or from the surf? Thanks
During the summer I’ve been fishing along the jersey shore (mainly the jetties) for the past 2 years and pretty much the only fish I catch are fluke. I was wondering what else is a good fish to go for and what kind of bait should I use?
7′ St. Croix Tidemaster spinning rod
Shimano Spheros 4000 spinning reel
Mostly boat fishing but also some inshore fishing for striper, sea bass, fluke…..
i am looking to buy a penn battle reel for fishing this summer, i want it mainly for striped bass but want to occasionally use it for fluke. i will be fishing out of a boat so im not looking for surf casting set ups. any tips for what size reel and rod i should get?
I just bought a 9 foot surf rod and I don’t want to buy a boat rod so can I use my 9 foot spinning surf pole with 20 lb monofilament test on a deep sea fluke boat in NJ?
Can anyone help me pick a boat fishing rod & reel for saltwater in-shore fishing. I am mostly fishing in the long island sound, for blues fluke and strippers.
I would like to do bait fishing and also use poppers and jigs. Is there a rod and reel combos that would accomplish both types of fishing?
Also what lb test line is good?
Also what type of line should i buy? (braided, mono, flouro)
