Help with Small Boat Rod/Reel Combo
Got a buddy and his young son who are starting to fish a small tidal inlet in Ogunquit, ME. They know other folks use a small boat and motor with success. They drag tube and worms. It appears that this inlet gives up stripers in the 15lb range. My buddy and his son have the small boat and motor, and have purchased inexpensive starter combos. They have asked for some help and I'll be taking a peek at the combos this weekend. They are willing to trade in, but want to stay close to this price range.
I surfcast, so I'm a little shaky on rod/reel advice for this application. Here's what I'm thinking - Spinning combo 8' rod (they may occasionally cast from the beach - clams or squid - distance is not an issue), 3/4-3oz, 12-20lb. Would 17lb mono, with a 40lb mono leader be a good application (structure is minimal)?
