I'm currently looking to buy a 50lb class rod and reel for wreck conger and would be interested to hear which bits of kit you guys recommend?

never felt the need to go heavier than 30lb.

i use an old shimano beastmaster 30lb class with a tld20 loaded with 40lb braid.

the trick is to hit the eel hard early and get it off the bottom before it realises whats going on.not allways possible i know but much more fun on the lighter gear.
