Green Hornet Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Looks like a really nice outfit for bream, flathead and whiting on a relatively calm day. Gary Howard makes a very nice rod, I picked up a 13'6" surf classic just before Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savit Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 For bait fishing with Alveys - I would get a reel with drag and a stiffer rod - easier to set the hook and control the fish - for beginners. For lures or lures/bait fishing - spin outfit would be an easier solution. Length. If I hold the rod in my hands on the beach - I prefer rods up to 10" , if in rod holder - at least 12".
