Mahi Reel Partyboat
Which reel for Mahi on partyboats? Don't want a baitrunner or too big.
Looking to put it on a Bogan 7' spinning rod. 2 or 3 times a year. Looking at Quatum Boca 40......???? Or Finn Nor Lethal 40..... Any suggestions in that price range..... have to order soon. Want to go Sunday. Meat Hunter..... Get on the Meat, Stay on the Meat, Fry the MEAT!!!! |

Re: Mahi Reel Partyboat
5000 sized reel spooled with 30-40 lb braid should suffice. Good swivels, good fluoro @ 30 lb and good sharp hooks (owners) to go along with it. Pre tie a bunch. Large coil in individual zip locks. If the bite is fast and furious you won't have to dick around tying leaders. Focus on fishing.

Re: Mahi Reel Partyboat
I'm using a Shimano Stradic CI4+ 4000 spooled with 50lb braid and a 20' 40lb mono leader.

I used my brothers the other day and was impressed. Pared with a nice light weight composite rod, you can also use it to bucktail all day with no wrist fatigue.

Re: Mahi Reel Partyboat
Thanks guys.... I was impressed by the weight of that Quantum Smoke, no weight listed for the Fin-nor.

Re: Mahi Reel Partyboat
Nope, but for the right price, her brother might be willing to wear a dress. (of course, he's 6'8" and weighs in at about 280, might not be your type)

Re: Mahi Reel Partyboat
If you don't want to break the bank, I highly recommend you take a look at the new Daiwa BG reels. For around 100 bucks you get some very good qualities found in the higher end reels. I'd say get the BG4000 is all you need filled with good 30 or 40lb braid with a short top shot. Bring different size floro leader as sometimes they are line shy.
