Tog Rod
Curious what recommendations the experts have for a resonably priced conventional rod with the right tip for tog fishing. From what I understand the tip needs to have some flex and then the rod has to have enough backbone to move them, but I also like lighter action as opposed to overkill. I love my Shimano Trevala jigging rod for all around drift jigging (bass, fluke, black sea bass etc) and was thinking the S jigging rods they have coming out with might be nice, but they aren't keep either. Since I'm not doing this all the time, I'd like to get out of this for around $75. I don't seem me deep wreck fishing, so I don't want broom sticks with flexible tips, I'd like to have some fun with this and I don't care about the occassional lost fish.

I just picked up a 6'6" Star Rods stellar light. So far all I have caught is cod but the rod seems perfect for what you want. It was $99.00.

All (OK most) of my boat rods are 6'6" - 7' Shakespeare Ugly sticks of varying weights. Only $50-60 pole and are real workhorses. They have a nice light tip.

We mostly target blackfish in water depth from 85-105' and I love the 6'6" Penn Slammer. It's flexible enough for fun but stiff enough to horse em out of the rocks. The old ones like ours are white and I don't think they make them anymore. They are very inexpensive and also great for bluefish, cod, etc.

Geez, I know another old guy who has several of those hanging in his tackle room and he seems to do pretty good with them
And no, I'm not parting with any of them...
