Need some advice on a rod for mullet
Going to try some mullet fishing this summer and found a rod and reel combo for a good price. The rods a 9ft 14-40g shimano spinning rod. I havent bought it yet so can anyone tell me if the rods too light for mullet or will it do?

It would be better to look at a Power Match/Waggler/Float type rod with a line rating of something in the 3-8lb mainlines range which would be ideal for Mullet.

Re: Need some advice on a rod for mullet
You may find the rod a bit heavy!
That said, if you bought it you would have a rod there that you can also use for plugging.
Maybe get a reel with a second spool and spool up lightly as you will have to flick light stuff around for mullet.

Re: Need some advice on a rod for mullet
Jim Was thinking myself I could also use it for plugging instead of buying 2 rods. Thanks for the replies.
