Very new to boat fishing.
just got a 7,5ft 12lb boat rod with a multiplier reel loaded with 12lb mono. The guy I bought it off said it would be fine for feathering mackerel and targeting flatfish but Im wondering if the rod if used with a different line ( going to guess it will need a stronger one) would be ok for going out on the cod seeking charters run locally? Got a feeling it's a bit on the light side. I live in South Sweden and would be fishing the sound between Sweden and Denmark where there are often strong currents. any thoughts / advice as I have to opportunity to switch the rod for something like 15-30lbs or 40lbs.
