Your rod should work fine. Anywhere from 10-13 feet is good IMO. I'd put a Calcutta 400 on it instead of a Newell. I tried a friends Newell a few trips and it didn't cast as far as the Calcutta for this stuff. Maybe you're ok if you're really good with your thumb. A fast retrieve is a good thing. A lot of people like the Penns and Irons because they have 6:1 gears. Finally, I really think you want to go down to 20# line...
Today looked great. Stripers busting, birds diving and all. But they stayed out of casting range the whole evening. Oh well...
