The Newell is on an 8' "custom" Ugly Stick which works well for cod/haddock/pollock but is probably too light for yellowfin. If I grabbed a standup rod for the Stella somewhere do you think I'd get by? Did you see any similar setups on the last trip? Or would you just rent a Shimano setup from them?

Thanks.

No white rods allowed.... lol if you are not sure then rent your first year, its cheap enough and there is no shame in it.


Paul& phil if we get enough peeps you think they would make it a 3 day? Just tossing it out there sounds like we have 1/3 rd the boat already.
