need a rod for a 12/0 reel
If you aren't looking to spend much take a look at the key largo rods..glass blanks and are slightly heavy but a few models come with heavy duty metal reel seats that can hold up to a 12/0 or maybe a 14/0. I found one 8 ft on sale at a local tackle shop and put my 12/0 on there it is a good rod for the 12/0..the blank doesn't have a rating but I'd say its good for fishing anything from 60# line up to 130# and seats my 12/0 with plenty of room and could perhaps seat a 14/0. and if I ever break it I get a new one for free for life...long and sturdy enough for a bridge and not all that heavy on the beach..it has a 19 inch butt which I think is perfect for either piers and bridges or the beach, not too long for the beach but long enough to use as a see saw on the bridge.
