Comment: Get at least a 10 foot surf rod. A nice reel that will accommodate 40 lb test at min. I like 60+ lb braid because it makes it easier to get the fish in quicker. A lot of blues are running too, so make sure you have that steel leader... There are definitely way more blues being caught than stripers, so chances are, if you get hit, it will have sharp teeth and shred your line if you don't get it in quick enough!

Comment: Stas, I helped a guy who was using 15 lb test mono on a freshwater rod reel in a 34 inch blue... The fish miraculously stayed out there for 10 full minutes as I untangled the bird's nest in his reel because the fish took it so hard. So, yes, it can work, but most times it will not. I was using 60 lb. braid on a heavy, 11 ft rod, with the drag set properly and a baitrunner... And I've had fish hit so hard that my line has snapped. At least 6 times in the past two weeks...

Comment: Scoobystas - a 41 inch bluefish was just taken on the South Shore on 8 lb. test line. If you set your drag right and finesse the fish, you can do a lot with light/medium tackle.

Comment: Nice catch man, thats fish for the next two weeks :)

What sort of tackle are you using? Can the standard bass tackle medium spinning rod handle the stress?? Thanks man.
