Whats a decent rig for surf fishing?
I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to fish but not much to spend. What would be a decent rig for surf casting. If I catch a nice red snapper or perhaps even a good size pompano or cobia I don't want to have my reel go up in smoke.
I currently have two rigs:
1) Shakespeare Ugly Stick "Lite Pro" with a Shakespeare Lite Pro reel (4 bearings, 1-way clutch).
2) Shakespeare Ugly Stick "Intercoastal" with a Quantum Optix 40 (4 bearings).
FYI - I am using 14lb Cajun Red line.
I am not sure if these are sufficient for surf casting for say a 20-30lb maximum size fish.
