Trevala Rod + Stratic Combo = Limit Plus
 

I have had great success using the smaller Shimano Trevala rod bucktailing Fluke in the river. My river rod is way to light for Ocean fishing. I tested out the larger Trevala with a Stratic C14 4400 yesterday. Fishing in almost 70' of water and was holding fine with a 2oz bucktail. Obviously there was no drift and the reason I was using a spinning set up. All I can say is the rod worked great and was alot more fun the my standard conventional set up. I ended my day with at least 10 keepers up to 6lbs yesterday. If your looking for a light weight spinner, take a look at the Trevala's. Click the link below to see pics etc.

Lefty, Glad you like the rod. I try my best to outfit my fellow fishermen with the best gear that fits their needs and budget. I would never recommend or promote a product that i don't believe in.

I have the same rod and love it. I use it with a Cabo 40 for bucktailing and a 6500 Baitrunner for striper. Landed some 30 # stripers with it this year, no problem.

I have same exact rod paired with the Shimano Curado 300EJ. The rod of no joke. Can bounce 6-8 oz with no problem of needed to.
