Hi. I'm looking for some fishing equipment and I would really like to know what you thought. I live on the Delaware coast and usually fish off a bridge
that straddles an inlet from the sea. We get flounders, blues, perch and more. I'm in a wheelchair so it's not as easy for me to use a spinning reel, and I tried
out a casting reel and really liked it. Also I can't use both arms at the same time to cast so I'm interested in a pistol grip pole. I found this rod and reel,
do you think they would work well together?
Daiwa Advantage Baitcasting Reel:
Action - M/ML \ Bearings - 5BB, 1RB \ Gear Ratio - 6.3:1 \ Weight - 8.5oz \ Line Capacity - 12/180, 14/150
Berkley® Lightning Rod® IM6 Casting-Pistol Grip:
Lure Wt - 1/4 -1 1/4oz \ Length 5'6'' or 6' \ Rod Power - MH Pistol
The lure weight on that pole says 1\4 to 1 1\4oz, but I might normaly use a 2oz weigth with live minnow or shrimp bait, would that still be ok?
And one more question if I may, I would like to cast the rod with my right hand and reel with my left. Which would I need for a casting reel, right or left handed?
Thank you for your time, and any help would be most appreciated.
Jay
