i recently got a daiwa TDXU 4-8, havent used it yet but a buddy of mine has the same one and he uses it for everthing from flatties to specimen tope, seems very sensitive and unbelievably strong!!!!!

id prob go for a cheap boat rod...bout 12-20 would do for a bit of fun...prob pick 1 up for 50 euro man... plus the boat rods are small and easy to use on piers and harbours etc...also when conger fishing im adopting pike tactics...by usin a 2 samll trebles and place along the mackeral,stick one at the head and 1 at the end then bind the wire with elastic cotton... works very well
