I fish a 7'6" medium heavy Shimano Terramar with a Shimano Calcutta 400. I like 25 lbs test Izorline mono, or 65lbs test Power Pro in green.
For slugs and my larger kelp jigs I use a Avet MXJ MC loaded with 65lbs test spectra.

kid, you're a brute force...
what are you using for yellows, 200# test? Those little Calcuttas are sweet. When I mess with calicos, I use my sabiki rod, regular lighter rod. Got 12-15# test, mono. I like it as I can cast rubber far away, work the stringers. Can be fun fishing with a lot of action in the summer especially. As calicos wiggle and you keep the pressure on the fish, they mostly seem to work their way out of the weeds; lighter line is fine. Little suspended anchovy can be a poison for them, hard to get on a yak though.

For summer calico fishing I like my Castar 90J/Newell338 combo loaded with 30lb Izor and a bird plop colored Tady 45. Mike

Seeker inshore 708-7, Calcutta 400, 15#, Seeker inshore 706-7, Calcutta 250, 12#. I have the original Seeker cork handle rods. I don't like the new blue ones.

PescadorPete, I totally agree with You about the new blue seeker inshore rods. Can I order the blank of that rod and have it custom rapped?

Yes, you can order those Seeker inshore blanks and roll your own.

Haha I don't give em a fighting chance. I like to rip them into the boat before they know what hit them.

Those are the first two rods I bought when I moved here in '00 (not knowing any better being a bestcoast newbee). Maybe some guy named Jim pointed me in that direction . They have turned out to be a couple of my favorites. I broke a guide on one and took it to Squidco to get it fixed. They re-wrapped the guide with the same Seeker thread colors and you just can't tell the difference. Squidco rocks.
