I have a 14' scupper pro and have found that an Okuma solaris 8' surf rod is perfect for my needs. Its stiff enough to troll but with enough play to know if any weed is on the tube. It is also a very versatile surf rod, and I use it alot that way when beached. I keep two on my boat one between my legs in the scotty for the tube trolling and one in my seat rod holder with a plug for topwater. Both a paired with Penn 4400ss reels with 30# Fireline. These rods can be found for about $60,which wont hurt the wallet so much if you lose the gear.The only drawback to some is that they are two piece.
