Stuff for big fish he has inshore stuff already.... his only "offshore" reel was a fathom 30, and a baitrunner 8000 that I gave him. That's cobia worthy, not tuna worthy. I scored a fin-nor lethal 80 off Ebay. Need 2 bigger live bait / trolling reels (was thinking along the lines of a fathom 60LD 2 speed)... obviously rods too, but I know shipping makes that problematic / not really cost effective. Need a jigging/pop rod for a spinner, and obviously some conventionals (get sell him my bluewater carnage beast rod if he can bring it on the plane) I did bring home a trevala 6-6 MH because I scored a sick deal on it, but I'm thinking it may be too light....
I have a Shimano Terez 7'3"H rated 50-100lb braid Spinner I can part with.. Never used. 7 guides and EVO grips fore and aft.
Thanks... but I wonder what shipping would be. I once tried to ship a rod back to Penn that I didnt like.... any reels?
Sent some rods I wasn't using down to a buddy in Tampa. $50. I would estimate $25. Fit like 5 conventional rods in a single tube. Spinning reels or Conventional?
Heading out to blue water tommorrow... at dock at 5 unfortunately forecast took a dip for the worse..... still hoping to troll up some wahoo, blackfins and mahi (and maybe the man in a blue striped suit)
I have several conventional reels that might fit the bill. I also have a few PENN spinning reels in the 5000 class. I'd like to let those go so I can get a PENN Slammer IV 7500 spinner..
Ugggh.... trolled all day and just 4 or 5 mahi (only 1 good sized one too) buddy got tunnel vision on trolling for the big dogs instead of switching up to bottom jiggin (which we did for like 30 min (I jigged up a blackfin tuna and a pink porgy on my new slowpitch reel) no thanks on the 5000 (already have some that size... 7500 is more what he'd need too) what conventionals? Why you selling that OceaJigger? (my friends dad just got the 1500, looks like a precision piece!)
I got two.. Got the second one at a ridiculous price point so why not... For deeper water, I have a OJ4000 now so I really don't need the 2nd OJ2000.
2?!?! those things are pricey LOL If I just didnt buy the Seigler I'd probably take you up on that one (but I really wanted a lefty for my fuctup wrist)
I also have a larger offshore reel I've never used. DAIWA Seagate LW 60H. Definitely a Tuna reel and I did put a power handle on it too. I already got my AVETs and the TLD 30IIA.
They were giving those away at the time. I have no idea why but an OJ2000 for 4 even sounded like a steal. It was...
Ha... I'm a sucker for a deal too. That's why I grabbed that Seigler LG for him.... if he doesnt want it, I'll keep it. No thanks on the Seagate. No levelwinds for me, at least not for big game / fast drag pulling stuff (I do still use a pair of old Penn 320GTs when I fish off the beach in my kayak though)
Ha. Nice.... Now a yo-zuri "bull pop" popper lure (I like the smaller 6" one) for that reel to entice some tunas....
