tuna popping cape cod

paul708 · 04-27-2008, 06:53 PM

how many guys are getting ready
what are the popular setups you are using

for popping i am going to give the custom OTI 7'6" 2pc 50# rod a try
teamed with a stella for now
i might get another spinner this year

Smith 80p/35 just got here. As for the reel...I am still saving. Can't wait to bust a few tuna up there this summer.

that looks like a nice rod
i have seen it once
didnt really get a chance to play with it
what is the rating on that?
what reel are you saving for

cbaker77 · 04-28-2008, 11:58 PM

It is rated for a little over 100g I think but not exactly sure. IT is the rod Randy recommended that I got. I am saving for a Stella 10000 or the new 18000 depending on how much I want to save!

paul708 · 04-29-2008, 12:07 AM

yeah. i know randy has the blanks some times

that new 18000 looks sweet

cbaker77 · 04-29-2008, 12:13 AM

IT is definitely sweet but $1100 bucks is pretty steep. I am going to be saving for a looong time!

it will be worth it

how does that smith brak down?

cbaker77 · 04-29-2008, 05:00 PM

It is definitely worth it but still a lot of money. IT breaks down at the foregrip.

I got the blank and a friend of mine is going to build it for me.
