I have a 12 - 20lb Ugly Stik boat rod but have been told it will be undergunned for cod and i need a 30lb class rod. Can anyone give an opinion on whether I need to shell out my hard earned cash on a 30lb rod or will my 12-20lb rod cope?

I've not fished this area but I would say that you would be better off with a heavier set up for pirking, if you are bait fishing you will probably be OK. Maybe there is someone on here who fishes this area and would know better.
