Canal Rod
Would like some sugestions on a new canal rod ? I will be matching it up with a Newell 235. I like to plug Jig and chunk, I would prefer the lightness of a grafite and the power to lift a big fish off the bottom! I'm confused about what length to go with? I fish with a 10' 2 pc. grafite rated for up to 6 oz., but finding it hard to cast at high tides on rocks! I know I'm looking for a wonder rod!, just seems there should be a rod shorter in length say an 8 footer that can cast a plug to the middle and lift a keeper off the bottom with a jig or chunk. One more thing does anyone use braided line on a non-level line reel for plugging? I'd like to try, but was wondering about damaging my thumb while laying on the line to thh spool? THANKS FOR ANY ADVICE! P.S. ANY CUSTOM ROD SUGESTIONS?
