Rig Rod

[Average Fisherman]

Hey all. I have zero experience offshore, and limited experience in nearshore waters. My sister in law wants to set my brother in law up with a good rod (she says rod, so I'm assuming he has a reel, or she already bought him one) for fishing from his oil rig that sits in about 300 feet of water. They typically catch snapper, grouper, and amberjack where he is, and per the pictures, the fish generally range from 20-50 pounds. Any suggestions for a good sturdy rod are welcome. I know she's not looking to break the bank, but maybe a value selection, and a mid range priced one. I'd guess she's looking to spend $50-125 on the rod. Thanks in advance for any help.
