Hi All,
I am heading out Boat fishing soon ( its been Years since i went out on Boats for fishing ) so a little lost as to what to use?
I used to just get the Tackle from the skipper, standard heavy duty rod, slap a mackerel on and walla Big Conger etc, but a mate who fishes a lot tells me he uses a 5M length Rod and when i questioned this, he mentioned that he casts as to find the fish...
I couldn't get my head around this, 12 blokes on a Boat casting like beach fishing?? Anyway, the rods I have been eyeing up are from Tubertini and they come roughly in the 3-5m length with different tips etc, so I guess what I'm trying to ask here is, Im looking for any advise on setups people are using for competition fishing, mainly for Big cod, pollock, ling conger etc...
Don't really want to be fishing a Poker of a rod, something light but with plenty of Grunt if a Bigger fish were to fall..
Also if anybody could advise on line strength, rigs etc, I would be grateful
Thanks
