So I recently sold my boat and I have countless dollars invested into boat rods reels and the like.
I am looking to start my surf casting endeavor and I want to get a cheaper budget rod to start with to see if I A. enjoy it and B. Can find the time to get out often with an 19 month old son.
So I’m looking for suggestions on what rod length and action I should start with.
I’ll be throwing Lil Doc spooks, pencils and plugs, as well as plastic eels and smaller live eels etc. 2-5 ounce range. Pretty much the gambit will be required.
In addition I have a few 5000 series reels kicking around, Daiwa BG5000, Daiwa Emcast sport 5500 and a Penn Fierce 2 5000. All running 30 pound power pro. I believe the Emcast has 25lb Suffix camo on it......
Im located in Clinton CT and will be fishing the mouth of the CT River, Hammo Jetti and Hammo River Nd Clinton beach etc.
What sub 150$ rod should I start with ???
Thanks in advance !
