yes, the rod will work good for what i intended it for but not good on the surf. it cast really well with just a 4oz weight but add a bait and rig and i lost distance. (didn’t help trying to tune a reel with the wind coming straight at me) I’ve got a 10 or 11 foot Tsunami the reel will work better with on the surf.
12 footer,where can i get a 10 ft tsunami baitcastin rod for a 10000 reel?
we carry them at Dicks but I have to check if any are around. I go back to work wend. and i can access inventory for the district. I checked, the one i have is 10 foot. it’s one of my favorites. I’ll get back to you when i find out. that 10000 on one would be sweeeet.
LOL I think I have it bad this week. Finished the week with 2 new breakaway rods, won 7000 and 7000I on ebay today, and bought an 6500c3. Thankgod I have finished xmas shopping for my wife last week
If one can plan on catching a disease … CFD will be the one I hope to contract.
I just retired USAF and really have nothing to do for the next few months.
I suppose I should look for a job, but I really want to take the next 30-40 days and fish … at least 30 days!
Two weeks ago, when I was at Sullys, there were a lot of dolphins in the area. Some got real close to the shore too. For you to be spooled that fast, one of two things.
Your Drag broke, but I’m assuming you checked that.
Dolphin took your bait on the run.
It’s about the only thing I could think of that could swim that fast and not think twice about it.
i’ve only known one person to have ever hooked one. they swim by live king baits and never touch them. I dont think it was a dolphin because they go after live bait. we were all using an assortment of cut baits.
when the water used to be deeper right at the edge off the wooden jetty at n folly…i saw a guy catch one in a cast net.you know where he ended up right?
I’ve heard their ultrasensitive, high frequency, high resolution sonar pick up the metal hook and they recognize it as unnatural. Consider how many millions of baits, even live, are in the water- and virtually no dolphin ever hooked. I’m sure a rare dolphin, or a handicapped one, can make a mistake. They seem to commit many fewer errors than people.

that makes sense. I’ve seen them many times get very close to live king baits (like 4 to 6 feet) and cruise by and ignore them. The baits always go crazy trying to run away, but the dolphins just pass them by. I still keep a close eye on em to avoid a hookup, but never had one go after a bait.

wasn't a dolphin, there were no none to be seen that day and I don't think they would hit cut shrimp. As far as the drag. I was using a Tica Sportera that has the baitrunner , drag was set almost halfway out, don't trust rod holders that much, just enough for the rod to bend if pulled. Anyway, I'm going back out there this one day this weekend to get my rig back.
