Live baiting set up ??

[kingbonito]

Hey boys was wondering what type of rod and reels people are using to chase big pelagics LBG like longtails and hoodlums ect. Thinking of getting a new set up for this season. I don’t want a over head either and price isn’t a issue

Hey mate  7ft Shimano catana 6 to 10kg with a diawa bg6500 and 50lb braid has always been my lbg setup . Has worked very well for me over the years. 

Cheers Scotty

If you want a stump puller for BIG units a big Penn slammer 111 will stop anything and a Monster mesh rod - This is my go to outfit for Big kings and I landed a 2.5 m Mako a few weeks back (65lb braid and 130lb Fluor)

I have several Stellas (850 and 12000) and also 2 Big  Saragossa’s, which are probably the best value reel on the market.
