rods
 

just picked up a sweet abu garcia c3 5500 was looking for the ideal rod to go with it. Any suggestions?:cheers:

Too vague - what do you want to do with it?

Fish John ! my goodness ! ;)

No MTD what do you want to fish for ? where ? what do use plan on using for bait/plugs ? what kind of line ( braid/mono ) ?

also useful, boat or beach?

I will be fishing of the beach, or breakwaters, using plugs, and softbaits. I have some 12 pound test mono to go on it also. From the boat I will most likely be casting to schoolies.

St. Croix 3-piece 6'7" Tidemaster.....

One piece 10'
 

A one peice 10 footer like an alstar or lamiglas should put you on track. I recomend a custom rod built for cape fishing by a local surf caster, there are ton's of skilled guys out there. Keeping in mind your application the ABU is a pretty adaptible reel.
