offshore rod suggestion

[outcast_]

I've got 2 of the new Daiwa big game 30 reels. (they are like penn 30's) I need a couple of rods. Daiwa sent me 2 30 to 60 lb class dendoh rods, but they don't seem to have enough backbone for tuna fishing. Then have a pretty fast tip. Any suggestions on a good 50lb class rod for offshore use.

I use to buy chaos full roller rods. I had some problems when they went to china. The old owner started his own company called boomerang rods. http://www.boomerangfishing.com/ Great rods at a great price. Full rollers worked great on bluefin this year with braid.

the fast tipisnta problme and any rod can handle any fish if you know what youre doing, its all about playing the fish and usin the drag. if you gotta chase down a fish you gotta chase down a fish

Buy the best you can afford and you will never be disappointed. I have been playing the offshore game for over 20 years and when the right fish hits, and it will, you had better be ready! I started with less expensive equipment and still regret it to this day. IMHO start out as a Ho and see if your really going to be into the offshore stuff---if so, stay with Penn lnternational or Shimano and buy good quality roller rods (Star, Penn, ect)....cheap line is a big No-No as well

Rich, I don't like to skimp either. I figure you save $$ in the long run buying it right the 1st time.

Rich,
You have any "cheap" 80 class rods you want to get rid of? ;~)
Looking for a 6ft rod to pair with an 80 wide.
See you in the spring.

I got a pair of Penn VSX 80s on matching custom 5'6" stand up tuna sticks listed for sale with pics in classified if anyone in the market, I'll make a good deal. Great BFT standup set ups.

If you are in VA Beach try J&B Rods. Jesse builds a good rod and will make it however you want it. He stands behind it too. You break it he will fix it. He is down at Marina Shores. Martin
