For fluke and seabass I have been using the Shimano Teramar rods and I have a couple of the tallas rods to for light tackel days. They are very nice for commerically made rods. They are a tad bit slow in the action department but I like it. My kids like the eariler stiffer model (can't recall the name). I couple them with a lil' shimano tekoda 500 with braid and it is a sweet little rig for bottom fishing. Generally mediem heavy action around 7'. They may be a little to fancy for commerical fishing but they are great when you have the day off, sitting on the boat with rod in hand, a cold drink, some good company and the ball game on the radio....BOY I can't wait till summer!!

For tog they are not stout enough and step it up a notch to a much stiffer 6' st croix rod that can handle the load and have a tekoda 600 reel on there.
