I am a huge fan of the lighter tackle 7 ft set up. I fish heavy at night with plugs and eels but once it gets light I switch to my 7ft st croix with a shimano reel. 10lb line. As Tim's article says,walking the beach at night in shorts and catching blues or bass is a blast. I don’t believe in the big bait = big bass (except for eels), most baitfish in the area I fish are small and this combo lets me present smaller lures. I have landed decent fish on this rig and a 20lb bass or 10lb blue is a battle. Here is a pic from a few weeks ago with my son casting for blues with the 7ft. I wouldn’t give up my sissy rod for anything.
