[Fisherf]

there's top three for flashers, places to stay,fishing holes and a lot more but no one has talked about rods & reel.

 

[drmadcow]

1. 8 Foot Black Peetz Rod & Reel (late 1980s) for halibut
2. Ugly Stik 7' Medium Light BWC220070 + Tekota 700LC or 800LC for jigging
3. Most 10'6" Mooching Rods + Shimano GT4000 Reel

 

[Fisherf]

1# For hali a fenwick matrix composite fiberglass/graphite mooching rod with a 9 inch diameter alvey single action reel.

2# for lingcod, a simple jiging rod (light wait) with a single action reel.

[tubber]

Trevala TVC66M spinner with Penn Battle 6000 for lings
Rapala RSC580SJH1 with a Shimano TLD15 for Hali
10'6"Technium with older model Shimano 4000 GT for trolling.

These are all decent, moderately priced combos. My others are cheaper but catch fish too.

 

[halimark]

Shimano 6ft Tuna Takers and Penn Fathom 40- hali, Penn 115, tuna
Penn Carnage 5'8', Penn Squall 20- bottom jigging anything
Shimano TDR 8'6", Penn Squall 20- Trolling/Jigging Salmon

Sorry no knuckle busters, same set-ups worldwide. Gave my trevela's away, too much flex in handle not at tip, tried the carnage=amazing.

Anyone have experience with Fenwick rods? I just purchased some Fenwick Eagle mooching rods and am wondering if anyone on here has put them to the test.

At the price I got them for, I cant complain. But the little guy upstairs is constantly making me worry.

 

[Discus]

G-Loomis SAR 1363 BC with MR-2
Titan Trophy with Trophy XL TYEE
Fenwick HMX with Shimano 4000 GT
10'6"Technium with Shimano 4000 GT

I have 2 Sage 3106's with an islander MR3 and an abel moocher and I haven't fished with a better setup in my opinion. Both reels are great.

 

[mikep]

3106 sage and islander mr2 or LX4.4 with double handles. I think that is as good as it gets..

 

[Sharphooks]

I got my first full season in with a Sage 3106 and reel similar to an mr2--- fantastic rod, no doubt, but I kept thinking that for C&R , I was a little under-gunned, especially on mid-20 and up fish.

Is there a rod out there that sits between a 3106 and a 4112 ? A rod that has the sweet limber action of a 3106 but the backbone of a 4112?

I'd grab it in a heartbeat.

What reel is similar to MR2 SH?

 

[mikep]

Hey Sharphooks there is or was a sage 4100 (10' 4 power) or the 4110 (11' 4 power). The 4110 is a little more limber and will take any large chinook in the ocean. You can put a lot of pressure on the 3106 without failure.
