It's inshore sea bass not grouper fishing.

Drop bait down
Reel fish up


Use what you got.

With the potential for hooking up a double of 3-4 lb. fish I prefer my standard, Avet SX on a Lami Inshore classic rod, with 20# braid. I did use my SX-J but I found it to be just a little to small for the job. I agree with the others about using spinning gear for bottom fishing.

Use anything that will upset the most people . The more tangles the better . In Real Life I use a Jigmaster JR filled with 30 lb. mono on a Bogan 40 lb class rod . I also have a 3/0 Senator filled with 60 lb braid . I have put a 30 ft. topshot of 30 lb. mono so it is more tangle/hang up friendly .

Seabass don't care what you reel them up with. It's more important to have multible rods ready to go. If you bust off you don't want to be jerking around re-rigging when the bite is on.

Agreed. Tie a line on a stick with a hook that should work...

7"mh rod capable of holding 12ozs as ya never know when that current will rip. I use a shimano torium 14 wi 40lb braid. what matters most is you are comforable with the outfit. only time i'd go spinnig is if tossing light weight jigs & bucktails from an achored boat works geat to catch big cardboard while anchored
