I use short poles like that because that's what my dad always used. They work great from a boat. I usually add TLD 5's spooled with 17lb test. The poles are primarily used for flounder, weakfish and stripers in the bay. But then I like to push the limits and take them out in the ocean for some inshore trolling. I've used the same pole for monster blues and small dolphin. Even had a tuna hooked once.......

Anyway, I guess I would describe it as some sort of light stand up rod. It's got the sensitivity to hook a flounder @#$%& on your minnow and spine to hang offshore.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
