What length/stffness rod for rockfishing or lingcod?

Hello everybody,

Yet another question that the search couldn't answer. I have a 7' 6"MH flipping stick that i use for bass fishing. I was wondering if something like that would work for Lings and Rock fish. I usually spool up with 20# mono.

I'm trying to get set up for some big water fishing, and I have no clue, until paddlefest that is.

Thanks in advance,

Omar

I use the exact rod for Rockfish  (I have Shimano Clarusrod) I'm a bigfan of fast action tips - especially when fishing deep water  Bottom line is = Give it a shot and once you catch a couple, you'll know if it feels right for you to use  Everyone's "feel" is different.
