I'm curious to hear what types of rods, reels and line weights people out there are using to fish the shorelines around the harbors.
Myself, I use a 6 1/2 ft. rod, Quantum reel, and (so far) 8lb. original Stren line. Last season I used 6 lb. line instead, which was much easier to cast, but I felt was too light of line from having lost a few fish reeling them in up and over the walls.
I mainly target bass and panfish, so I'm looking for a good line with an 8lb. type strength (to pull in bigger bass), but a 6lb. type diameter, castability, etc., so that I could fish light if needed (for panfish).
What do you guys use? Any suggestions?
