Blue fin tuna advice
So I bought a beautiful combo that can be used for some game fishing (Shimano Saragosa 10000 spooled with Shimano Power Pro Depth Hunter 50lb braid tied on to a 80lb leader, matched perfectly with a Shimano Terez black 3-5 PE.) this rod is best used for casting or bait fishing. So this brings me to my question. 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
Of course I talk to my self while fishing.. sometimes I need expert advice! :fishing:

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
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?

Re: Blue fin tuna advice
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've got a Storm So-Run Heavy Minnow that casts really well. Havn't caught a fish with it yet but it comes recommended by the guys behind Morningtide and I highly doubt they'd use anything that fish didn't like.
