Blank recommendation - S Fla Bullseye Snakeheads
Posted by: Stanley Thurman (---.hsd1.fl.comcast.net)

Can I get a recommendation for a type of blank, size, and action for Snakeheads in S Fla? This will be for spinning and fishing from canal shorelines, no boat or kayak. Under $100 if possible. Casual recreational fishing for now.

Tried the search, but warm and cold water snakeheads seems to be mixed together and sometimes not sure what type of fish the post is referring to. This will be for Bullseye's in S Florida, not around the Potomac area's. Also websites mention not using the lighter bass gear, but a heavy rod. That's subjective and not sure how heavy to use. Will a small/mid sized 7' pier rod work?
