New caster for boat
 

Hey guys/gals after the big day of opening presents tomorrow I will be looking for a new casting rod for the boat, since I don't see it next to the tree now!:D I have a 7'0" 12-30 # Ugly Stick Tiger, like the rod but a bit on the light side, you see I am anticipating some big fish over the side;) I will be using it to cast eels, occasionaly and some plugging into the rocks, you know the ones that eat boat props:eek: Anyway any suggestions?? PS always looking for someone to go fishing so he who coughs up the best tips could just make first mate:D

the ulgy stick should be fine :) or you could move up step and get a cape cod custom rod from red top were getting 2 after x-mas tho.... talking of props my dad lunched one right at the boat ramp on somthing..... we can hook up together fishing alot next season

I use a St. Croix Premiere 7'(heavy action) with a Shimano Baitrunner 3500. Great boat combo for eels and plugs at around $220. More suited for bigger fish, schoolies barely put a bend in the rod.

my best buddy has a tiger ugly stix and it casts FAR. it;s a strudy rod for shore and boat.

The St Croix that Scotch B recommended is a good stick. I also have a Star Deluxe 7' DLX23C that is a really good live bait stick as well. For an off the shelf production rod, I really like it and can usually be found for around $80.00 or so. Take a look at one. You won't be dissappointed.

i'll 2ed that

Thanks for the replies, when I get to standing up straight I will get out and check them out. Until the couch cruising for me:(

Yep threw it out 2 weeks now, go to back cracker Monday, should be interesting never been.:smash: :(

Where do you get a Star Deluxe? I can't find it online.

Here's just one online source. I'm sure there's more. There are also several local tackle shops that carry them.Star Deluxe Baitcasters
