[lobsterman]

You will get about 3 million answers. 8' Kingfish rod, 14000 Spheros, 30# line and a handful of ding a ling jigs, different colors.

before anybody answers further, what is your budget?

 

[bbarton13]

mid range price

 

[User6882]

mid range can be so many different prices for people, but a good quality setup is a Penn 706z ($100) on a custom wrapped rod ($75 for cheap but you get what you pay for), 20 or 25lb test mono, couple ding a ling jigs in various colors.

I'll tell you another secret, ajs and grouper inhale them also.

9ft rod there are so many different blanks you just have to see what feels good to you. A Van staal or a 706 with 50lb power pro for the pier or 30lb mono in the boat.

 

[bbarton13]

how would a mitchell 302 perform. i got onegetting some new paint and bout to get some new gear a manual bail and penn drag?

 

[Travis Gill]

That would do just fine. I personally dont like Mitchells all that much but there has sure been alot of Ling caught on them

 

[Live4Fish]

i love my mitchells and have caught many good quality fish on them but i recently got a van staal so they may be put away 4 a while or used as just a back up

Just so you'll know, these are pix of Frank Helton's 'Ding-a-Ling' jigs. They've caught more Cobia than probablyall other jigs combined. We, (Frank and SeaBit Tackle), are the only ones that make the "real" 'Ding-a-Ling' jig. We start sending'em out to tackle shops in P'cola andFWB (Pat's B&T) usually about February.
