My newest favorite party boat Cod rod is the Ugly stik BWB 1120 8'0" ..I picked it up from Ron at the Sportsmans Den and had him cut it down to the second guide and install a roller tip. Tried braid but after the first tangle from hell I switched to 80# Yo-zuri Hybrid. I switched reels from the Penn 113H to the regular 113 cause the 113 H hit my left forearm all day. The Ugly stick is inexpensive and will handle jigs over 30 oz easily
