Ambassadeur Fishing
What type of rod should I get?
I just purchased a new Abu Garcia Ambassadeur Big Game fishing reel and am wondering what would be a recommended rod for me. I like going surf fishing for stripers and perch as well as fishing for rockfish off of rock points and in coves. I think I prefer a rod in the 9 foot range. I’ve only used cheapo rods from 8 to 11 feet long. What would be some ideal brands and models for me to check out that would make it capable for me to cast out pretty far and take some abuse from the surf and rocks. Thanks.
One of my surf rods is an old original Calcutta. It.s 11 ft and I have the ABU 7000 big game on it. Be sure to check around and see whats for sale used as well as new. It seems like I’ve seen allot of junk poles out there in the last few years. I can average about 125yrds with that set up on the surf. 40 yr exp Northwest Pacific guide
