SouthBayKiller I Post A Lot But I Cant Edit This. Now if your on a larger boat where the fish may swim underneath or around the motor and you need to rail your rod to keep the line from rubbing the hull or and reach out over the motor a 700HX would shine here.įor a big gun like a 800XH, this rod would work best when high off the water on a tall boat or barge and you need to keep the rod railed when hooked up as your line drifts under the boat or where winds and currents have your line going under the hull. calstar 800xxh vs 875 xxh vs 775xh or 80 raptor. Ive been fishing a Calstar 800XXH with straight braid to 10 leaders 60-80 for the big BFT and its a pretty awesome rod. If your anchoring on the rivers and casting out baits 20 to 30 yards on either side of the boat or letting them drift strait back in the current and don't have a need to go back and forth over the motor/outdrive several times while hooked up a 6.5' rod would work best on a smaller boat.

But, with a 8' rod and 20 lbs of drag that will be very hard to do for anyone, even the most studliest fisherman will find this difficult. I'm preparing to go on my first overnight/1.5 day trip this year out of San Diego and am hoping to get recommendations on a rod for 60-80 lb work (e.g., night time flat fall/sinker rigs) that will be paired with a Fathom 40NLD2 spooled with 80 lb. With that said if you need to lift your rod to go around a outboard motor or longer outdrive a 7' may be even better or if it is a long reach around such things a 8' rod may be best. joo2lo Fishing Reels Replies 6 Views 907.

IMO unless you need casting distance or a softer presentation of live bait a 6.5' rod may fit your needs better.
