Depends on the current. If you are fishing near a full moon, you would be better off renting a boat pole. If it is calmer, less current, you might be ok with the tiger.

What ledhead said. If you're talking about Bogan's inshore trips, you will be fishing in 50-100 feet. A meatier stick would help, but you might not need it. It really depends on the current and moon stage. Around full moon, current rips, you will need more weight to keep you where the fish are, so I would pick a stouter stick.
