Rod advice, please

[Skate Bait]

I want to get a good rod, for throwing a good amount of lead on those days when nothing seems to hold bottom. Let's figure 8 ounces or more. Any ideas?

While were at it what about a reel, preferably but not limited to a spinner.

spinner - lami gsb 132 1m

 

casting - lami gsb 132 1m

gsb 122 1mh

Hi S.Psycho,

 

You can try out the Okuma Celilo CE-S-1102. 4-16OZ 40LB line.

this rod is a perfect 11' - 2PCS surf graphite rod for heavy weights.

 

it can handle the big ones reliably and you can cast the max weight (16OZ!)

to a decent distance, i am using this rod for 3 years for amberjacks and monster grouper and it can handle them pretty well.

 

don't let this weight ranges full you, this rod is not a "broom style" rod, it can deliver the smallest bite right to your hand.

 

i am using the spinning model but i think they have it also in a casting model. also the price is very cheap, i think you can get it for less then 50 bucks !

 

Okuma also have the Blue Diamond 10' 2-8OZ series, i have never use it but have heard some very good things about it.
