We generally recommend the following:

For easy fishing for cod and charcoal:
Spinning rod: 100 – max. 300gr. (strong backbone) Roll: Stationary roll of caliber between 3000 and 3500. As a string necessarily a round braided. The load capacity should be about 10 kg.

For heavy fishing for cod, halibut etc.:
30 Lbs sea rod with SIC rings and cross closure. You need the end of the cross for the gimbal, which will save you some back pain.

The rod should be quite stiff (bait + water depth = an immense pressure).

Multi-role:
The roll should hold at least 400m of a round braided string. We have already experienced halibut escapes, in which the fish has easily torn 200m off the roll like a steam lock. A line counter for fishing 2-3m above the bottom or targeted schooling is good. As a string you should take a good round braided. With a load capacity of 22-30kg. But that's a matter of taste.

Rubber fish:
Don't be afraid of big baits!
A 25cm rubber tail is a small appetizer for a 12 KG cod.
The rubber fish should have a strong tail shovel because of the pressure wave.
Heads suitable for the body between 200-500gr. - available e.B. at Royberjig.

Pilker:
For cod and pollock on the underwater mountains in about 10-20 m water depth (halibut is always to be expected): Pilker from 80-150gr. For deeper cod, charcoal burner and Co (20-60m): Pilker from 150-200gr. Grundpilken or shortly above (halibut, cod, monkfish, stone biter, etc. 60-120m): Pilker from 200-400gr.

Small stuff:
Do not forget powerful triplets, vertebrae with hooks, blasting rings, a sharp knife, a saltwater-resistant pliers, etc. GIMBAL. Lobes for the fingers. Sunglasses cap, sunscreen etc.
