Cape Cod Canal Combo Help

[tradrodz]

I guess I over analyzed the crap outta this one lol...I'll Stick with the 1201m so far thats been my go to rod almost everywhere I go. I was just under the impression that when you fish the ditch you needed heavier gear than the usual. Thanks for the advice I appreciate it!

I'll probably only venture out there once or twice a year thats why I'm not looking to get to crazy with the $$$

A Zebco 202 set-up. I know.....I'm a wise a$$. A 10'6' MoJo with a 500 reel (if you can find one).

For whatever it's worth:
Spinning I use a Penn 850 or 950
Convenc I use a Abu Big Game or a Calcutta 700

[stiff tip]

if you fish the canal 2to4 times a season......but if you want a canal rod/reel, .... low end... dawia emb pro 5000 w/ 40 lb sammai line.add a 10-6 airwave 2to5 oz rod this is a gd intro combo.. high end a 10 to 11 ft lami super surf or a 11ft arra or a 11 ft centruy or a rain shadow ..... lots of different rods and high end reels . what i see on the canal is that most casters have emb pro w/ high end spinning rod made to cast plugs /metals,bucktails . fishing the canal for 30yrs , the equipment and styles of fishing has changed. for me its gotten ez-er its all artifical .very little bait fishing

If you decide that you want to get something that throws a little better than a 120 1M, TFO has a line of surf rods now with LC guides, that looks like it was pretty much a knock off of the St Croix Mojo---for about $100 less.

Personally, I think that 10-1/2' is the ideal length for an all-around stick.
