Hey guys,
I'm heading out in early may to Nootka Sound to target Halibut and Ling in early May. I am going to bring with two setups. I'm strictly a Shimano guy, alway have been and always will be! I think from what I've heard is that the halibut in that area are usually 25-50lbs (although they get much bigger for sure).
#1 - Shimano Game Type J paired with Shimano Trinidad 16NA and 40lb Depth Hunter. This setup is to fish my Shimaon Butterfly and Flat Side Jigs. My ultimate goal is to catch a hali on this setup with no spreader bar etc holding it back!
I need help deciding on my #2 setup which will be for fishing with spreader bars and 1-2lb weights. This is what I've been thinking. I'm most confused on which rod to use...I don't think I can go wrong with either reel...
#2
Rods
Shimano Trevala F Casting - TFC58H - Heavy - 270 - 325g
Shimano Trevala F Casting - TFC58XXH - Heavy - 120 - 325g
Reels
Lever Drag - Shimano Talica TAC12 - Holds 355 yards of 80lb - Max 40lbs Drag - Ratio 5.7:1 - 23.1oz - 6 Ball Bearings
Star Drag - Shimano Trinidad TN20A - Hold 310 yards of 80lb - Max 25lbs Drag - Ratio 6.2:1 - 19.8oz - 8 Ball Bearings
Thinking about putting on 100lb Maxcuatro which has 75lb diameter.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Curtis
