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.

hey matt - your stella 10000 will work for most fish out there. i was using a calcutta 700 for jigging on a light duty cod rod, at one point i was napping and heard a fish come over the rail - i jumped up and hooked 8 fish on jigs in a row. lost half of them. alot of these fish are in the 25-65 pound range. if you hook a bigger one well at least you'll have a good story. and get some metered braid for jigging
