oof... expensive fish.

My only experience with those was they didnt stay locked in place very well...

 

You guys ever get a look / hold of this rod?
Looking for a spinning rod to ship to my brother's in NY for tossing lures to tuna, and for this price it seems sweet (trying to keep the budget down as it'll prob only get used a few times a year tops)... 7-0 heavy HRX70HS (I'll bring a reel with me on the plane... Quantum Cabo 80)

I think that’s a great Rod. I have 4 Tiagras some with and some without the bent guides. I use them for Bluefin and Tiles.

 

Thanks.

I havent had the best luck picking out rods without holding in my hand first.

So you think I should go "Heavy" over "Medium Heavy"? Specs lean me towards MH, but I know they often over state these things... I tried to contact them about the actual weights but 3 days later, no response.

Planning on pairing with a Quantum Cabo 80 w/ 65lb suffix braid. Figured it could be versatile enough for plugs and jigs if needed...

 

nice reel and good price point. I would go heavy on the Rod.

 

Thanks.
Yeah, my buddy has a couple, they're pretty nice. I have a "Boca" 50... basically the eco version of that reel (I think it has one less bearing, so a lil less drag). But it's hard to beat the power of those Cabos for the $..

 

Went Fluke fishing yesterday.

I limited out the boat total 9 for 72. West side of Seagirt Reef.

 

Thats a good trip! Love Haddock! Make that Livornese style with linguini.

Going fluking again today.

Offshore weather sucks. Need someone to kill the fan. I am in a trolling tournament until July 15 so fingers crossed. Need to get to the Hudson.

 

By the way, you guys know anything about pulling a dredge to target tuna?

I know they are essential for billfish but is there one that attracts tuna?
