BFT on spinning
 

With all this wind I'm finding time to gear up for a possible trip end of month if the stars line up..

Any suggestions on some entry level gear...

Dug through attic today and found outrigger poles from early 70's ....

I'd look into a gossa 20k on a jigging world ghost hunter 200 popping rod. Stuff adds up super quick.

Ive been using a VM275 reel loaded with jerry brown 80lb braid on a heavy terez. Works great with 60" class fish.
Reel is like 499 and tackle direct has a buy 2 get one free deal if you know some people that want one. Last week we fought a big, big fish for 3 hours on a stella 20000 and a black hole cape cod special rod. Had fish to boat and the rod shattered.....good luck, like angler229 said, stuff adds up quick!

Hmmmmmm

I buy 2 of everything..just let me know. I've got 2 spinning popping rods, 2 spinning jig set ups, 2 conventional jig rods (waiting on the reels for them)..lures/jigs/terminal stuff. All ready to ho..sorry that should have been "ready to go!"

Ho works...
OK OK,,, :-) now we need some good weather and Intel....
Stay tuned

Ray I got 3 rods for trolling and a pluging set up VS 275 I am ready to go once the action heat ups .. your boat or mine (no out riggers ) but i have caught with out them .. :kewl:

It's easy, hey?

I'm thinking VS 7' 325 gm.. 20K Gossa.... 80 lb Bob Brown hollow ....
And a chit load of luck... :-)

Leader - best joint.. ?

Best thing for leaders is to have a loop spliced into your hollow core then buy wind on leaders 80-130 fluro and attach them with a loop to loop connection. To attach your plug/jig put a heavy duty swivel to a HD split ring and change the lures on the split ring instead of retying.

Thanks again Dan,,, I'm getting there... :-)

I have the Gosa 20K on a VS. Great combo, easily landed 60" BFT and brought a 8' porbeagle boatside for release. Put Hollow core and splice a loop. Get a Daho reverse latch needle and look at youtube. will take you 10 minutes to learn to splice the loop. I use Basil wind-ons.

This combo can handle bigger fish, in combination with good boat skills and team work.

Pretty sure that's what I'm going with,,, as soon as I get up the nerve , Saturday may be doable for me
Thanks CCr

In the game
