I fish for just about everything bass included, but I am looking for a
better rod to fish soft plastics for spotted sea trout and red fish on the flats. I want to fish soft plastic jerkbaits and jigs. Will a bait caster over 7' help me or a long spinning rod help me. I can build the rod my self. The I ask here is because bass fisherman fish lots of jigs and soft plastics. P.S I will catch trout and redfish on an exude twister mite. |

I fish for lots of inshore stripers here in NJ. Mostly 3 to 10 pound fish.
I always (as I've recently stated on the group) throw 1/2 or 3/8 oz leadheads and shad swimbaits. I use a 7' spinning combo, medium or medium heavy with a 4000 series reel and braid. I can cast very far and fight good sized fish to the boat quickly so as not to hurt them. Most of the guys I see fishing the flats on TV seem to use a similar setup, but they usually have a leader attached. Rich P |

Rich P I do a fair bit of striper fishing as well, and prefer a medium action casting rod in the 6-10 to 7-3 range, spooled with 10 to 12 pound line. |
