Blue fin tuna advice

[rb85]

To start off with I would recommend having a few more rods in the boat ready. Would recommend Okuma Salina combos or the more modern Azores.
Whats the casting weight of your combo?

I'm not so these are some of the rods and reels I would be running.

You were making recommendation....think about it.

I did think about it Pal not everyone drools over shimano and other tackle companies are catching up. MissShimano probably has a good network via her sponsors anyhow.

Also would suggest a few rods better suited to trolling.

The Terez will be fine trolling, I use 7ft Kingmacks as trolling rods on some targets. Gimbal butts are better as they lock in the holders and Fuji do a brilliant round rubber butt cap with the gimbal cutout that's actually on the kingmacks from factory, not sure if it's present on the Terez.

The Ocea pencils and rocket dives will be fine to cast. As to similar weighted stickbaits. Heavy weighted jigheads with a plastic will be fine too. I've run xrap 30s on the kingmacks and it's been fine even at 5-6knots trolling, would think on the heavier rated Terez it'd be a piece of cake

I have used similar rods for trolling but prefer overheads. Keep the spin rod for casting.

What stick Baits/teasers are people using or if anyone out there has a Terez with roughly the same reel what kind of lures are they using. Any information will be very helpful! Thanks

I have 2 terez rods for my trolling a 10 - 30 lb and a 15 -40 but am still to hook up anything with anger - my reels are Penn 560 slammers with 30 lb braid
the Penns are better suited for me as they handle the riggers of Kayak fishing well and are cheap to replace ( we are hard on reels )
I had to modify the bottom plug on the butts to get them to fit in my rod holders

most of the kayak captures have fallen to white plastics 5 - 7 inch slow trolled and smaller some days 3 inch cast into bust ups
a full have fallen to small skirts again white or whiteish which really we dont troll fast enough - it gets hard work going fast

a few of my mates will be out at Portland this week end paddling around ( probably out to Julia reef ) so keep an eye out for speed bumps if you are boating we are low to the water and dont stand out as well as a boat

For that outfit you cant go past rapala xrap longcasts...(even if you are sponsored by shimano) I have the same outfit but with a white terez and it stopped tuna to 35kg pretty easily last season. Good luck with your latest venture

Also notice that each post starts like an infomercial. I have this x paired beautifully with y that's just super amazingly incredible. Lol. I've decided to start buying Daiwa just out of principle
:tongue:

Got a Daiwa revros combo at around the 8kg line weight. Nice rod and reel handles the vic Barra but don't think I would be game to try it on the tuna.

Purchased one of those Soccoro reels the other month haven't put it through it's paces yet.
