I have two surf fishing setups with 8000 series spinning reels and having recently bought a boat i’d like to have two shorter but still stout spinning rods to use these reels on. I would like to be able to throw 4-6oz egg sinkers with 6-8" live mullet or large menhaden on them. I will not be at the jetties but will still be fishing in inlets and larger bodies of water up to 50-60’ of water. Any suggestions? What is the type of rod i am looking for called? Jigging rod? I typically fish lightweight setups (6’6" w/ 2500 series reels and artificials) but would like the option of being able to do this as well when the time is right. Thanks for the advice.
A 7ft heavy m spinning rod would work fine. M gives you a softer tip the F, I like a softer tip for live bait. It helps me detect a nervous bait better.
Shimano spinning rod on the swap shop would be good.
