Pier fishing
Coming down next week. On the pier, need to know the strength of the line suggested and size of rod desired.

Hard to beat a 7' spinning rod with a 2500-4500 size reel & 10# line.

I'll go along with CarlF, even though I sometimes use 12# mono, or 8# depending on what I'm fishing for. When the king mackerel get here, along with the redfish, an 8' rod with a 5500 to 6500 reel loaded with 15# line will do the trick. Some folks load the reel with 200 yds of 20# braid, then finish it off with the mono. Mono is easier to fish with---easier to see and easier to untangle than braid. Welcome to the forum. Use the "search" feature for a busload of information.
