Hey guys, I would like to bring this very informative thread up once again, asking for your opinion please.
Also looking for a PE6-8 (more PE8) rod primarily for about 90-140g stickbaits, to be used for larger Tuna (say 40-80kg), as well as medium size GT. 8ft and rod weight below 400g would be ideal.
Now I know that gentle slow tapered tuna rods are not well suited to deal with GT and fast GT rods with a stiff butt/middle section are not great to pull up a 60kg tuna circling below the boat...there should be a good compromise? On the list are:
RF Ultimo 79MH
Yamaga Blue Sniper Tuna 83/8
MC Works Explosion 827 risky area special
Race Point 150 blank
Black Devil 200 blank
MC Works EX827FX - has someone fished it? Specs would suit.
Is the Hot's 711 rod enough to handle PE8 and a 140g lure? Specs tell me not, but who knows...
What are your thoughts please? Is there other rods or blanks I should consider?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers Felix
