If the topography of your coastline involves using potentially heavy metal lures (25-35g+) from shallow sandy beaches or larger, denser surface and sub-surface lures, either from rocky outcrops or steeply shelving beaches into primarily deep water, then a longer (certainly 9ft+) and more powerful rod is required

It is even a little cheaper than the Rapala so its a little less painful when you lose one on a log, which you will do if youre fishing where big browns like to hang out

Those are usually the rods that end of snapping on a hookset

Cone Angle Think of cone angle as an upside-down ice cream cone

Put simply, I am far more accurate and comfortable with a spinning rod than a baitcaster
