All my rods are one piece and i hav one surf casting rod which is ah 50/50...

[meccalli]

meccalli... before I purchase from reel tackle (the are the okuma dealers) or ship it in myself...care to sell your okuma if my purchase falls through?

Doubt it lol. Did you consider the tiralejo? , Mankees can get that in for you. The new ones are 50/50 and they've got nothing but great reviews from big game shore guys.

[meccalli]

Went by Mankees and it is like christmas in there....but no rods I am interested in. Best thing they got is the airwave elite, but the 70 30 split will make it to difficult to transport.

Yeah, but its a much more responsive split. Feels much more like a one piece rod. My main rod is 70/30 (St. croix avid surf.)

Didn't realise the split made a difference in responsiveness, I have my old 50/50's i still use once in a while, wouldn't mind trying a 70/30 to feel the diff.

Yeah, basically the taper is continuous and you get flexion all the way into 70% of the blank whereas a one piece rod is made from a single blank from tip to butt. With the 50/50, usually the butt section is exceptionally stiff and the tip section is more isolated when casting as the load isn't effectively transferred throughout the blank. But it isn't a limitation once it's factored, some of the most expensive rods are split 50/50 like some japanese manufacturers. These days with high modulus graphite rods it's not very noticeable to distance or anything but the cast feels more crisp kinda like recoil lol.

Were can I get this repaired

[meccalli]

It's gonna be hard to source a bail assembly for a reel like that. I think it's time for an upgrade, there's alot of great budget reels out there sub $300.

[ryan99tt]

Did some banking yesterday...banking fish real hard but we still scrape up some...fish in d pic is ah portion of the catch...

[kadet100]

@ ryan99tt, bai you could ketch fish... Anyone here into vertical jigging? I am seeing​ lots of YouTube videos were guys blazing palegic and bottom feeding fish using that method.

[ryan99tt]

Yea we do vertical jigging but u need proper gears and find gd structure to get gd action...

[reelman]

what's a good price for the following reels and where can i get them in trinidad ?????????
Fin-Nor Lethal 80
Okuma Ceymar 65
Okuma Azores 80
thanks in advance Guys

[meccalli]

All of those reels are in that 500 to 800 dollar bracket, the ceymar being the cheapest and the azores being the most expensive but much cheaper than say a saragosa while similar in performance. Mankee had the Azores and lethal I believe.

Banking yesterday was hard too, bout 9 cro cro between 3-5 pounds an ok salmon and dats it, woulda hold more as d fish did start to bite in d dead low tide, but current was hard and d water got choppy and I move spot cause my father didn't like d choppy water,...lol

Shallower spot...not a bite.

First spot was like 300 ft...

[altec]

ok... I am pulling the trigger on one of the rods listed in the link tonight. Which of the 10 foot and over you recommend? The heaviest lure I throw is 3oz and the lightest is 5/8oz. I am considering the CSX-S-1002M which is rated 1.5 to 3oz. However, I am reading that manufacturers over-rate their lure rating and the sweet-spot for lures are much lower. Now I am contemplating the 10.5 or 11. What is your view? Oh did I say that I AM buying tonight before the wife find out I have a small overtime? Open the link and look over the word "cedros" you will see the up arrow to click for all the individual models in the CSX range.

[meccalli]

Yeah I'm familiar with the models. Mine is rated up to 4 ounces but I won't throw anything over 2 ounces on it. It's best to narrow down what you throw the most and buy a rod for that. It's better not to rush things and be disappointed later. Use the lower end of the ratings to make your choice.

Apparently the banking now pickup in d north, the red sardines around too...

My partner hold some salmon, ancho, cro cro and a few 15-20lb cavalli Sunday while banking.

Most boats hitting north cause gulf slow although by d ship rigs my friends hold a big cooler of salmon Also Sunday gone, heard some ok fish getting caught in d "hard" too...

Proton: can you take a pic of how you use chip chip as bait please.Thanks

I mostly use shrimp in manzan but occasionally if I hv the patience I use it.

U collect a gd amount of big ones, take a thin blade knife and open dem from one of the rounded corners and then take out the meat, then keep threading dem up on the hook.

It takes a lot of chip chip to use on one hook, so I just use shrimp.

They also sell the chip chip meat in a bag for like 50, one of the houses before the big manzan river mouth, if u feeling lazy....lol

[jramsarran]

hey guys,
I am considering buying a pole spear on amazon.

[url][url]https://www.amazon.com/Scuba-Choice-Spearfishing-Two-Piece-Paralyzer/dp/B00BUFTTHY/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1491505442&sr=8-2-fkmr2&keywords=spearfishing+pole+spear+on+sale[/url][/url]

has anyone shipped one before.
would this have any problems clearing customs?

[meccalli]

Shouldn't be a problem, same dimension as a rod pretty much. I made a polespear with an aluminium rod and a ss nut to which 3 stainless steel prongs were welded to so I can detach the head. Get a sliptip in addition to the paralyzer as well if you plan on on spearing bigger fish. I use mine for siric lol.

[jramsarran]

cool bro.
thanks

I have a spear gun for fish.
was just considering the pole spear for ease of travel and yes...for lobster and crab/siric.

i bought a 3-prong tip and made a spear with a metal pipe... but 2 of the prongs broke off after the first use. lol
i will consider that detachable tip as well.

thanks again
