Shimano Terez TZC66XH

So, I got home from work today and found a long shipping tube from Cabelas leaning against the garage. When I was out in Michigan last weekend, my Mom overheard me talking to my brother last weekend about tuna fishing and decided to call cabelas and buy me a new tuna stick.

Damn....looks more like a fluke pool, surprised at how slender the rod is.

So...I'm trying to decide what reel to put on it. Either an Avet ex 50, which I think will be to much reel, as its setup with 80lb, or a Daiwa SLT20, which is pretty much equivalent spec and size to a Penn 30vsx. Can't afford to buy a new reel right now.

Any thoughts?

I suggest you mention to your Mom that you need a new reel 😃

Have you mentioned anything about car trouble? You know "in for a penny in for a pound".

Mom might be 80, but she's sharp as a tack, don't think I could swing that one past her....but maybe...my reels need to be respooled by Basil, but it's going to cost...

so, other than suggestions on how to take advantage of the generosity of my mother, I didn't get any thoughts on matching a reel to this rod.

Anyone have an opinion on the rod, not its origins? thanks.
