Bluefin Jigging Rod/Reel Set Up

[PurpleCedarPlug]

I've got a Shimano Trinidad TN50 that I want to set up to use with 6 to 10oz butterfly jigs.

I need to spool the reel with braid and match it with a rod that will handle BFT on the inshore lumps 100 - 150lbs.

Any help on what braid to spool it with and which rod to match it to would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks,
Ed

i have a special on jigging rods right now.
they would match perfect with the reel.
and the size fish
something nice 225.
something special 275.

for the jigging line both OTI or diawia braid is good.
and they come in 60-80-120#
probably the 80# would be a good choice.
