If you are fishing with a charter or a lodge, find out what type of fishing they do. This is typically a troll or mooching fishery with bait or hardware. Many of the trollers use divers with or without flashers so there is a pretty substantial load on the rod. Generally, a longer rod of 9' to 10.5' is used here with a line rating of 12-25 ish and a moderate action. This is not an application for a fast action rod typically. If you are jigging vertically, which isn't too common, a little faster action rod is desired there.

Find out more info from your boat captain and we can be of more assistance.
