new tuna stick
 

Just picked up my new spiral wrapped tuna rod from Jersey Tackle in Mantoloking this AM...damn, it's pretty...black stick with blue wraps and coupled with the new Avet blue PRO 30W/2, I can't wait to "get 'em on the Gambler"...Tom & Tony do a great job building the tools we need...It'll get a good workout in the next years...;) :) C'mon tuna...

On a somber note..going from PPB to Mantoloking on rte 35 is a sobering drive...the damage from that bitch is truely heart wrenching..it's a hell of a way to remind us that the power of the ocean is awesome...what she did in a matter of hours will take us humans years to restore....

post pics or you are lying !!!

Jokes aside, it's going to make fighting tuna so much easier.
Every PB trip, i have one or two commenting how broken my guides are and i need to get it fixed.. :D

I just sent payment to Capt. Bob for 2 more Friday night trips in October. I also booked the Sept. 26-28 48hr trip. I'm fired up already!

Have they offered you $5 for the broken rod yet???? I have that happen too.



Thanks for the compliment on the rod PG. Hope to get some pics of the fish you find now!!!

You should get a gopro.
Here is a quick clip I took with it.

By the way, the rod I was using is spiral wrapped. You can see that I was pretty comfortable. :D

Chuck , between that two day with Tom and Cigar Bob's exploits with his Acid Wraps I may just build an acid railrod for myself . If you want to sell some of your other stuff to make room for it let me know . I like the reel choice too ! A winch with no cross torque .

Pete...as the 80# rig was going to just take up space from now on, Tom at Jersey Tackle took it as deposit on the new rod...I understand several wanted to buy the upgraded handle on the Penn...
I was getting tired of fighting the rod twist when hooked up and a winch will help me also...outfit is a lot lighter, too...I'm needing all the help I can get;) And you know at magic hour I start to lighten up with line....
