I caught quite a few 10-15 lb Blues and Stripers last season with a 8 Weight Browning Rod that my ex got off E-bay for $35. I spent another $23 for a Pflueger reel and had a blast. Got cheap floating and sinking lines at Wallyworld. The setup is pretty light and the big blues gave me a hard time, but hey, every fish deserves a chance.
It won't work for Tuna though. But I'm not fishing for tuna.
