filthmonger Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Its short and stiff mate, not sure of length but its 5 feet something i believe, not ideal for casting or land based but perfect for jigging, live baiting, trolling etc. It will handle any size king though.

dale91 Posted June 1, 2014 Author Share Posted June 1, 2014 Ah k cool, so if I were to use it of the land more should I go for a longer rod paired with the thunnus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LungFai Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yep, but the dilemma is what length will then suit your fishing needs. Personally I prefer an 8 foot, and 10 would be the absolute maximum I would ever go. But my go to rod for pelagics is a 7 foot paired with a 2500 reel :-D Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale91 Posted June 2, 2014 Author Share Posted June 2, 2014 2500 reel? That's not too light? I actually have a sienna 2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LungFai Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 2500 is perfect for Bonitos, Salmon, Tailor, Trevally, Rat Kings (with a bit of skill here) and most of the other types of fish you catch off the rocks.....well apart from sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale91 Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 Ah okay cool I thought it would have been too light. What weight line would you be using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LungFai Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 6lb braid, 10lb leader for pelagics, switch the leader to something smaller for your smaller fish like bream and flatheads (4-6lb leader) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
