chris I use ugly stick 30lb for the heavy stuff (pirking) and 12lb abu for general ground and reef, have a number of reels penn etc but find that the okuma stuff is not bad and dirt cheap.

I like the Ugly Stiks as well, I have an Okuma reel but prefer the Shimano TLDs 15 or 20.

Same here , ugly stick (or a richie stick as we like to call them ) and a shimano TLD 15 and 20 .

Abu Suveron Pro Boat 30-50 and mitchell 20/30 for the heaving pirking and ling bashing, and a penn 16lb class giller thriller and 535 for jellies and light rough ground stuff.
Looking at a conoflex uptider at the moment for pirking.

shimano antares 20 - 30lb class and a penn 225ld is wat i use

very good cobination imho

I know there`s lots of replies to this but anyway here we go .......
Ugly stick ... 20 lb general and 30lb for heavier wrecking, and a penn 225ld like stephen. I also use a 245 which is a bit bigger but 225 fits most occasions.

Oh and one thing is a MUST ........ Dynon 3000 55lb braid !

[Stephen]

ya not wrang aboot the braid :P :P

wont go back to nylon now.

i had a shot of a 245ld but there a bit big me thinks

[chrismorris]

looks like it`s an ugly stick and a pen 225ld there both cheaper than i thought they would be
cheers

[Norman]

good choice chris ...... and dont forget the Dynon 3000 55lb braid

[chrismorris]

changed my mindtwo penn power stix20-30lb and a 30 -50lb for £65 the pair and a 225ld forgot to get the braid but theres plenty time it`s not cheap i got a shock at the price but i guess its worth it
right so what pirks and artificials do the biz for you guys
