Offshore Trolling reel questions

[Garone Custom Rods]

be fine if you run spectra backing. If you are fishing mono I would go 50's because you may need the capacity when dealing with larger sharks.

If you are looking to outfit your boat give me a ring and I can set you up with a set that will put fish in the boat.

Nice... must feel great fighting a good fish on a light set up with equivalent power to a Tiagra. Prob save a ton of energy... I hear many good things about the Talicas.

Much, much more fun. The "30s" and "50's" are obsolete with what's out there today. We troll with Jigging Master PE 5 and PE 8 reels as well as a Talica 16 on jigging rods and contrary to old school mythology it works completely fine and is infinitely more fun. The only time anything bigger is used is when bigeyes or large-medium/giant BFT are the target and for that we'll include Makaira 20's and Talica 25's in the spread which are more than enough.
