I'm looking at getting into sea fishing, I used to do coarse fishing.
I'd like an all rounder rod to try pier fishing and maybe some beach casting or fishing from a sea wall.
What should I look for most, rod length? Casting weight? Etc. Seen one which is 9ft with casting weight of 200g.
I don't know what weights I need either, or how rod length and weight affect each-other.
For extremely similar purposes here in Florida I use a 7 ft. medium heavy rod with a spinning reel that can handle 12-30lb test line and lure weights in the 1/2 to 2oz range.
Use the same rods/reels when I go for catfish in my local rivers as well.
For anything surf or pier fishing I would recommend at least a 9 ft pole for casting far. I'm a big fan of Shimano Terez rods.
