What Kit

#1 Post by Mark the Seaman »

Was just looking up about SWFF and was wondering about the Kit used. I have a 10' small trout rod which i bought for small rivers.

would this be suitable to use in the sea and what type of ground would i fish on?? thanks

What weight rod is it if its a light trout rod like a 3/4 weight it would be too light for bass and pollack need a heavier rod like an 8 weight rod. The rod might be ok for mullet . You want to fish over roughish ground with lots of features like rocks and reefs where there will be food for the bigger fish. Hope that helped
