If your planning a trip, wait and go to J&M tackle. .....they will have what you need,at a very fair price,in a custom type rod
If the one you mentioned said cobia......it might be a little too stiff for the bait mentioned
yeah it said lure wait 2-5oz, seems to be too much
Do yourself a favor and wait......J&M will take care of you......you won't be disappointed
will do my friend, i've heard j&m is the bees knees. thanks for your help
Be sure to get something with a light tip (fast action). Much easier on the bait minnows you'll be flinging.
Oh, yes. Go to J&M and they will set you up with what you need. I have six different king rods, all from J&M, in different actions for different situations. Ask for John G. He's the boss man and the owner.
He is the king fishing master......along with a few others on the pier......but they don't own a tackle store, and one of the best rod builders aroundQuote:

right on bro, they all have wide guides? everytime i visit the pier i see big guides, im guessing for casting ?
Big guides for the line coming off the larger spools....matching similar diameters
Those are $129.99 (and a one-piece rod)Quote:

That being said J&M has a much better selection.
have you used one?
