Hey need recommendations on a good inshore rod that can handle some abuse. Anything in the 7'-8' range. Needs to be able to handle fish up to 40 pounds in heavy current.
We have a spot with very heavy tide- striped bass up to 40"+ and blues up to 13#. We have to use 60# braid and 100# fluoro to combat the bluefish bite offs. I've thought about surf rods but we night fish this spot so big rods lead to trouble on a small skiff.
