I'd go with a Ambassedeur 5500 or 6500 and a rod of either 8 or 9 feet. 12 lb test is good and there is no need for the casting egg unless distance is needed. I'd just fish cocohoe on a 3/4 or 1 oz. jig head. That will cast fine WITHOUT the egg. By the way, the cocohoe in pearl is the best schoolie lure in the spring particularly in RI, along Matunuck. I presntly use a conv setup, and use a 9 ft Lami inshore classic which is a little pricey but a graet rod. It can be use later when the big fish showbut with 25 lb. test.
