I have the exact same real spooled up with 50lb power pro and paired up with a Turners California Inshore rod MH 8' that I use for Chucking swimbaits into the kelp and also when I'm surf fishing. I had no complaints and you can't beat the price. Pulls those Calicos out of the kelp with ease.

wow.. I had a hard time chucking the luckycraft with this Toro.. I felt like there wasn't enough weight to get any distance on this beefy reel. Must have been me.. seems like you did ok on it. Thanks for the rec.. I'll look at the Turner's rods.. they are just down the road from my work. I also like the heavier Terez 70XH rod, but I'm thinking that'd be more for big game.

I have the same reel (lefty though) paired with a MH 8' rod. It tosses the LC great unless you are throwing into a stiff headwind. Try loosening up the cast control and only lightly spool it if starts to overspin. You will get a few birds nests at first but will get it nailed down soon. The LC is one of the best lures in the surf, halibut, WSB, YFC, perch it's almost the all in one lure.

a 7'9"-8' med heavy to heavy. Calico/ sand bass. I wouldn't use it for anything else. Could it handle it? yes it could, but thats not what its made for.

If you want a halibut/yellow/cbass reel go with something like a torium 16.

Abu Garcia Volatile VOLC80-6 or VOLC80-7. The 80-6 is a 8' med/heavy fast action rod and the 80-7 is a heavy fast action. The 80-7 is a beast. Both the rods were designed to fish with the Toro 50 and are only $139.
