Best rod action for different types of boat fishing Many manufacturers make good rods. They also offer a dizzying array of actions to choose from. I would like your opinion on the best action (extra heavy action, fast tip, for example) and line weight (30-60, e.g.), no matter who makes the rod, for the following types of boat fishing:
Trolling spoons and jigs on wire line
Trolling spoons and jigs on braid
Trolling spoons and jigs on mono
Trolling umbrella rigs on wire or braid or mono
Trolling swimming plugs on braid
Trolling swimming plugs on mono
Trolling a tube and worm rig on lead line
Live bait drifting
Vertical jigging to 60'
The quarry is mainly stripers, also bluefish.
Is there such a thing as "1 action doing it all?" What are the compromises?
Thanks for your opinion.
