7ft med. action rod with BRAID DO NOT USE MONO. bring as many 3/4 to 1oz casting spoons like sweedish pimples and kast masters as you can afford or find as they usually run out at the local stores.

It has way too much stretch. Ive seen way to many people get treble hooks in the face the hook pops loose.
And your going to want the added break strength. I thought I was going to break my rod in half more than once on some whitefish.

Couldnt you use a 9-11' spinning road setup similar to what you would use for steelhead? I did have a guy tell me to use fireline to detect the bites because they strike the baits quickly and it helps to avoid snagging them.

You can, but your not going to have much room to figh the fish in as it gets pretty crowded down there so your going to want something with plenty of backbone so you can turn the fish if it runs.
Fireline, braid, powerpro...some kind of super line. It really does make a big difference.

if you used a rod that long you better go heavy...... a 3/4-1 ounce jigging spoon is a pretty big load for such a light rod.

I could possibly be in too. The inlaws live 5 minutes from the pier so I can get a good report when they are running. Plus if it is on a weekend I can leave the wife and kid with them and get my free pass. When you all thinking about going?
