What setups for the Mothership trips
I'm scheduled to go on the Black Pearl in August. Right now I have:
1) Okuma Baidarka 7"6' MH w/ saltists 20 and 50# power pro 2) Okuma Baidarka 7"6' MH w/ Sealine 20 and 65# power pro 3) Okuma Baidarka 7"6' M w/ Ambassador 6500 and 65# power pro 4) saltist 30 w/ 65# power pro I have a Diawa Saltiga boat rod that's 7" MH but not a big fan of it. Question is what rod for the 30 and is there a setup that would work better? Will be trying to get Halibut and YT. Thanks Last edited by dc1983; 06-25-2012 at 07:34 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Generally people keep soo many different set ups on board, you're going to get a lot of responses as to which to go with, but it comes down to what is in your budget and what works best for you.
I went with: An 8ft jig stick and Avet SX for Surface Irons 6'6" Seek Black steel with penn 545 for Yoyo 7ft Shimano Calcutta rod with a Abu Alphamar 20 with 65lb braid for flyline Lightweight abu rod with Toro 50 for Rock/bass/Sheep/Halibut Ideally you want to have enough set ups that you're not constantly changing rigs, when the fish are working their way through you don't want to lose any time. You should have at least Surface iron stick Flyline stick yoyo stick Some people use the flyline/yoyo stick interchangeably. Good luck |

All of these setups seem just fine, something I found on the M/S trip I took was that I did not have enough battery for bait tank and electronics, spent too much time on thinkin' tackle....just a thought...

Thanks for the replys so far. I'm going to get a 8-9ft rod for flyline/iron to use with saltist.
@ mtnbykr2 do they have a way to charge batteries or should I plan to just bring extras? Any other recommendations for gear to bring |

UPDATE
Quote:
I ended up taking all three listed above. Then I traded the saltist 30bg for a 30th and picked up a 8 1/2 ft jig stick. Also picked up a 8 ft shimano jig stick and put the sealine on it. Got a Diawa Seagate to replace the sealine. And finally added a spinning outfit to round it of. So that's what I ended up taking out with me. I would recommend if you are going on one of these trips to take what you already have because in the end I really didn't use any of the new stuff I bought. Just my .02 cents hope it helps. |
