Cheap broomstick needed
Went out with the the crew and witnessed many nice fish last night on the south shore of LI. Personally saw about 8 fish in the 32-43# range (scale). 4-5' breakers and overcast with thunder. Problem is, my equipment can't take it. I'm using (don't laugh, it's my first yr of surf fishing and I'm no Donald Trump) a 2pc. 10' sealine-X ($25 used) rated 3-6oz, 15-30#. I was using 40# mono leader, 7/0 gami oct, and 6 oz lead (yes, we were chunking).
The local sharpies were using custom 11 or 12' lamis, throwing 8oz, 80# PP w/100# leaders on 9/0 hooks using chunks about the size of heads. I'm guessing their rods are rated somewhere in the 4-16oz range.
Bottom line, is there anything I can buy under $100 that'll throw that kind of weight? New or used? Thanks for any replies.
