I want a boat rod but don't know what to look for. There is something to do
with weight class. I don't want and uptide/downtide whatever they are. As
for what type of fish I am after basically I will drop the weight/bate/hook
over the side and see what happens.

I might catch a small fish I might catch a medium fish I might catch a large
fish I don't know.

any help greatly accepted
