Use the standard boat rod, somewhere between 5' and 6'. I use home made umbrellas, which I have coined "The Chandeliers of Death," but we'll leave the story behind that out, lets just they work well. If you are making your own don't be afraid to add spinner blades to the inside connections rather than shads with hooks. Blade, snap swivel, split ring, rig in that order. I only use hooks on the 6 arms, and the stinger down the middle. Cheaper than buying if you have the time. I've had success with leadcore line. Don't use too much in the Boston area because of all the small fish but they will work.
