I have had the same spottie rod/reel combo forever and it has never failed me!

Ugly stik 6'6 MH & Abu garcia 5600

The ugly stik is cheap but definitely durable with lots of backbone, and will hold up against the by catch (aka halibut). I love it. You don't need anything crazy for em!

My favorite outfit currently is a Citica 200 on a fast action 7' Falcon rod rated 10-20. I fish 30lb braid with a short leader of 10-15lb fluoro. You can spend a lot of cash but basically any rod and real combo that can fish 10lb line and hold up t salt water will catch spotties. Mike
