Both of those needs are perfect with a long rod and fast reel. See what Patrick thinks when it comes to choosing the right rod/reel/line for Carolina Rigs.
Rod:
Patrick Walters likes to go with a 7'4" - 7'6" Heavy rod depending on his leader length.
Line:
Patrick likes to go between 17 - 20 LB fluorocarbon depending on the size of the fish he's catching at that body of water.
Reel:
Patrick likes to go with a 7:1 gear ratio to be able to reel in slack quickly to set the hook.
