boat rod
 

Looking to pick up a 7' conventional. Will be fishing bait with usually no more than 4oz weight. Also tossing eels with rubber core.
Would like something that can feel a tap but can stop good sized fish.
Mainly fish for bass but would like to target tog from time to time.
Any suggestions on a rod that might do both?

Thanks

Ande Tournament Saltwater series. 7' 20-50 lb line. Not a bad rod, i picked it up for 40 bucks at #^&#^&#^&#^&s. It will work for the 2-3 times a year i need a light boat rod.

Reeeeally dig my loomis gl2 844. 4oz plus bait might be a little much for it, but it handles 3oz plugs. Can toss the light stuff for albies/bones and has enough backbone for big bass.

That stick might be a little soft for tog, though. My other vench boat rod is a st croix TSWC70MHF. Soft on the tip but a fast enough action for a good tog hookset and wrench them away from rocks. Has handled ~40 lb bass with no problem as well.

Can't go wrong with either IMO... good luck!

Thanks for the replies - having a tough time deciding whether to start at a low end rod or to bite the bullet and get something I might never need to replace. Star Plasmas get great reviews but having started as a shore guy I'm not crazy about noodle rods. So many rods , so little cash.
