Greetings Folks,
I am a large-mouth basser' lookin' to get into a little striper / blues action off a local pier (Old Saybrook, CT).
I currently fish a St. Croix 6'8", Medium weight, XFast action rod with a Quantum Accurist ACS baitcasting reel for tops and cranks.
I'm wondering what a good rod / reel would be for the pier. I would assume a 6'8" rod to be too long, the Medium weight should probably go to a Medium Heavy and the XFast action to fast but, I'm not sure. Also, I have no idea what type of reel to use. Maybe a spinning reel would be better that a baitcaster.?.?
How about line and lures. I'd rather not use live bait. I like to cast and work a lure.
Any info you folks could throw my way will be greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
Rob
