i'd second that, an 8 wt will struggle wit a pollock over 5lbs in kelpy conditions.have heard very good reports about the atlantis. what i would do though is invest in a quality fly line, if only one look at a an intermediate, as it is extremely difficult to catch pollack on a floater, need very specific conditions for success.if you do enjoy it you can always invest later.
