Hooks... 2/0 in the bay maybe, out front 6/0 or bigger  |
6/0? if it works for you. this friday or sunday is lookign alright. the noaa keeps changing. i swore to myself that i have lost a few bigger togs. it felt like fighting a hard fighter. my abu 700cl crapped me out a little. when i turned the handle to pop the freespool button, the handle kept spooling in reverse for a few seconds or longer. i lost a bigger tog because of that. so any tech perspective here? |

I'm a Penn reel person. When it comes to bottom fishing reels (or a reel that can stand up to alot of hard fishing), I'd take a jigmaster or a beachmaster160

I just purchased a newell 338 with gear ratio of 5.1. Then I am going to load it with 40 or 50 lbs mono backing and 65 lbs spiderwire stealth.

I dont know models etc.. Joe;
Penn Senator, (4/0 or 113H size)
Newells
Anything about that size with a RUGGED drag is fine... drag doesnt need to stand up to LONG runs, but needs a serious amount of balls; we fish them close to locked down.. then you can back off a bit once you get them off the bottom of its a good fish... say north of 10lbs....

Went out over the weekend for the last tog trip (Sat)...it was pretty good but not has hot as it was the week prior. Also, the bite STOPPED when the tide changed, it was like someone threw a switch! As soon as I got there, set the hook dropped the bait...got a 9#er!...said, oh, this is gonna be a great day! We got our limit quick but the bite really died. That is it for 05 boating for me. (BTW, saw the Viking Fleet boat from Montauk fishing in BB)
(Took an early lunch today to catch the low tide and picked up another bussel of scallops...  ) Wife is working on a tog and scallop stew recipe....should be tasty.
My favorite reel for toggin is the shimano tekoda, with 50# PP braid, smooth, powerful and excellent drag and it costs about as much as a decent penn. |
