Re: Blue fin tuna advice
I have used similar rods for trolling but prefer overheads. Keep the spin rod for casting.cobby wrote: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.rb85 wrote:Also would suggest a few rods better suited to trolling.
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

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
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 braidMsShimano wrote: 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
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

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
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

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
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.Kadmium wrote:Also notice that each post starts like an infomercial.
