I'm thinking Daiwa BG 5000 with 40# braid and 40# fluoro leader for gulf offshore kayak fishing. anyone use this combo or have any advice?

I have a BG 5000 on a tiger 7 foot heavy. I have caught in some awful big fish with it. The combination is unbeatable for Bridge Fishing for big snook or gag grouper. Has plenty of backbone

What size weight of line does this rod handle.

I am using a 30 lbs test on mine.

Can the 7’ ugly stick handle casting crab snares and small crab traps? Looking for something I can fish and crab with. I’m a beginner, thanks!!

I have never heard of using a spinning rod for crabbing, but if you must, the rod should be strong enough for the task.
