Fishy4335 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Would a 1-4 oz surf rod with a ZB 25 survive the canal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Ba Buoy Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 A little light maybe, 2-6 is my low end canal set up. ZB25 works fine though. lureman and LIsurf631 2 "Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." ~Henry David Thoreau (member formerly known as MV Bluefish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kima Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I fished a Mojo 3/4-4 there for a while when my 2-6 was involved in a bike accident. It worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockedDrag Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Yes it will survive. My buddies use a st croix legend 10’ 1-4oz and ODM genesis 1-4oz and do perfectly fine. No issue turning fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lureman Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 hi Ian, hi buddy, any rod and reel will do, but from my experience at CCC, i firmly believe, "Smarter not Harder", me , myself, don't use any rods, less than 2-6, and fast, and FASTER, actions, reels, don't go under 40 in. of retrieve, tough of nails drag, the ZB-25, yes a great reel, but the retrieve, not that good, a inexpensive reel , i suggest to many , who are just starting out at CCC, is the Daiwa BG 6500, retail $130, 49 in.retrieve, 33lb. drag, solid built, can take a beating, PM me , let me know when you are up,,, i still have a couple trips,left in me..... A beach is a place where a man can feel, he's the only soul in the world thats real ; A jetty is a place where a man feels, he must have a bucket full of eels.

I am not a Novice angler by any means and I am a solo fisherman so not looking to blow up the place.... thanks I will be there right after you.. 28th- 30th (let me know how you do!!). I am taking a TFO 9' 1-5oz with a VSX150 and a 11' Mojo 3-8oz with a 7500 Penn. Hoping to get away using the 9' but if it is crowded going to use the 11 foot. I am only taking large swimmers 7inch plus, 4-5oz jigs, and topwater pencils. Edited August 12, 2019 by cec127 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need something rated around 3-8oz. My vsx 200 survived though. I didn’t get spooled w fish up to 30# i used 40pound braid w 50pound leader Edited August 12, 2019 by LIsurf631 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfrat815 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I don't fish the canal much but when I do go I bring my regular surf/inlet setup. 1321m with a VS 275 65lb PP and 80lb leader (some might say it's overkill but you really need it with the current/rocks down there). Might wanna go with a faster rod for jigging though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
