There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot

i personally use a rapala magnum 8' one piece,with a penn 330 spooled right full with 150lb power pro... some guys use 12' ugly sticks and a huge spinning reel... i used a 6' penn power stick and a penn 320 for my first two outings and was scared with a 4' so i got a bit better combo... shimano technium and a tld 25 will be my next purchase when your ready to go drop me a line and we will make it happen, take it easy and tight lines

If you don't like the fish you're catching... change the bait!!

Techniums are great rods but not built for shore fishing, too sensative for throwing the heavier weights a long ways..... That being said, I ONLY use the techniums (4) on my boat...... The 330 is a good reel and holds lots of line, next step up would be the TLD!
