deap see fishing reel SAMOLLA Heavy Duty Tuna Deep Sea Reel 2 Speed 2.5:1/1.3:1 Gear Ratio Conventional Reel 99LB Max Drag Saltwater Big Game Trolling Reel for Offshore Boat Sailfish Right Handed and versatility. Fin and Fly Charters Deep

Holds well with a FG knot to fluoro or mono leader

I felt it would be a good match to my 11-foot surf stick, but could also double for casting from the boat with one of the Estuary series of rods in the 8-foot class for big stripers and blues on popping plugs or live bait

Eat the smaller fish and take care of the big fish so that they survive to trip somebody elses tip up on another day

And once you catch a fish, their deep bending action makes fighting the fish a fun experience especially really large, active fish like tuna

On a well-balanced rod its possible to lob baits and lures considerable distances with practice, especially downwind (our most common casting direction when drifting and soft-baiting)
