3) Okuma Baidarka 7"6' M w/ Ambassador 60n 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

Wel I went out on the July BLack Pearl trip and ended up taking 6 setups with me. Was glad I did!! Got to the dock Friday night loaded everything up and as we were on our way to get bait I was checking all my setups and the drag on my sealine was acting funny. As well while we were at Catilina Island Saturday my bass setup went down. (just got everything fixed yesterday)

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.
