New caster for boat
Hey guys/gals after the big day of opening presents tomorrow I will be looking for a new casting rod for the boat, since I don't see it next to the tree now!  I have a 7'0" 12-30 # Ugly Stick Tiger, like the rod but a bit on the light side, you see I am anticipating some big fish over the side  I will be using it to cast eels, occasionaly and some plugging into the rocks, you know the ones that eat boat props  Anyway any suggestions?? PS always looking for someone to go fishing so he who coughs up the best tips could just make first mate

I use a St. Croix Premiere 7'(heavy action) with a Shimano Baitrunner 3500. Great boat combo for eels and plugs at around $220. More suited for bigger fish, schoolies barely put a bend in the rod.

The St Croix that Scotch B recommended is a good stick. I also have a Star Deluxe 7' DLX23C that is a really good live bait stick as well. For an off the shelf production rod, I really like it and can usually be found for around $80.00 or so. Take a look at one. You won't be dissappointed.

Here's just one online source. I'm sure there's more. There are also several local tackle shops that carry them. Star Deluxe Baitcasters
