Newbie help with Blues

[gdn443]

I do use that size rod for blues when I'm casting poppers. But you mention useing a weight of 4-6oz so I will guess you'll be bounceing off the bottom with cut bait. Use a stouter boat rod that has a stiff back to it and add 20-30lb mono to the reel. Mono will allow some stretch when they run. If the capt will allow, use a steel leader as well. Blues are just making a showing here in ct, but they don't get heavy till late Aug. and Sept. Good Luck on your next trip.
