i started fishing last year, but im still a casual newbie. usually just catching mackerel and lizardfish off the pier. don't mind catching these, except that it's not very sporting reeling in these small fish with my medium setup.
my online research has led me towards ultralight. saw a youtube vid of a guy fishing from the surf with an ultralight setup and it seemed like a lot of fun. he was using a mitchell 310 pro reel which is within my budget, so I'm gonna be picking up one of those.
my question for you guys: for my particular needs, should I go with a short ultralight rod (4'6") or long (6')?
