Private boat - preferred tuna chunking rod?
Looking for some input on a tuna chunking rod. Something that can handle the yellows and non-giant bluefins (up to 125 lbs?) midshore and offshore. Considering something in the 6' length. Will likely pair it with a talica 16 or 20, or the makaira 15. (I'm open to suggestions on reels too!)
Rod budget is $300 but doesnt have to be a $300 rod. Off chance I hook a bigeye offshore, I'd like it to have a bit of nuts so I have a fighting chance of landing it.
I've been using my father's gear, some of which is older. They work and weve landed countless fish on them but I'd like my own, newer set up. Hes got an older Avet, accurate and a talica. We SMOKED the Avet. And his rods are def dated, yet functional.
Figured this is a good place to drop the question, esp during the epic tuna fishing we were experiencing prior to this blow. Thanks.
