Great price on the Trinidad. I love my ol' 16N.

Smoking deal on the trini, if I didn't have two 16s I would be all over this.

Thanks guys. Have had a couple of guys interested, but nothing 100% solid yet.

I might be interested in that Okuma stick.

Think it might be sensitive enough and have enough backbone to use as a inshore "drop shot" rig? If not, what would you suggest its best fit? I've been using a MH Helios rod (its way lighter than advertised) that I'm not quite in love with...

The tip is quite sensitive. And it should have plenty of backbone for pulling fish away from structure. I could see it as a bass, halibut, shallow water rockfish (swimbaits) stick. Should be good for dropshot from boat or kayak. Maybe a little heavy for that application from shore.
Should even handle small tuna just fine.

Overall build quality is excellent on the makaira rods. How often do you see aluminum reel seats on a 12-20 lb rod? Even at retail (around $150 I think), you get a lot for your money with these.
