Daiwa BG reels real good, I saw the BG90 take out real monsters on the north coast back in the days when I used to jig. I had a Daiwa Silver 7000C years ago, bought it second hand. Good line capacity and smooth drag but the handle take-down screw got damaged from over tightening. This was pre-internet days and I couldn't source a replacement so I gave it away.

what type of rig is this?

It's called an umbrella rig.

You hook up your ballyhoo in the centre rig. And waits for the strike!!

[ryan99tt]

Yea, attract fish...suppose to immitate ah fish chasing bait...i added hooks to all my squid incase tuna attack dem...lol

Yeh all this squids have hooks! That how they suppose to be rigged! With hook and a small sinker!!

[ryan99tt]

Nah, plenty guys dont put hooks on d squid...i bought ah couple of these ah while ago an never got atound to using dem...may use dem wen we headin out for hoos...

[meccalli]

Big wahoo will kink and bust off single strand in a one though.

[ryan99tt]

Wahoo doh really take d squid, dey usually take the ballyhoo behind the setup...

[HaRdCoRe_YoUtH]

Even doh! The most will happen is that the wire comes unusable after!! It won't snap. That's 300lbs strain tooth proof!

[30hz]

Tried that rig before but had more luck with the blue squid and ballyhoo setup for wahoo. my boatman has a general rule of using bait colours same as target species when trolling. blue/greens for dolly, darker blues for wahoo, silver/pink for king/albacore. light n water clarity dictates lures colour also.

He say the fish sight is trained to look for their mates so like colours are easily noticed. i never questioned it, seems to work for him though i've seen the opposite work also.

Note, sometimes you just need to try em all to see whats biting.

That's true. That's just one of the rig. We have about 5 umbrella set ups with different center bait.

Have to see which works best!

haha, well yeah you have a better chance with 300. Them things does chew off everything down to cable if they get their teeth to it . If you add a little flash to that rig you sure to get some good fish.

[30hz]

Mankee selling these now. Hadda check him soon. Will work good on wahoo.

[meccalli]

Nice, that's the thing self.

With that budget the best buy may be a Daiwa BG60. Its a solid reel made for saltwater with a good drag. The Penns are a little pricier in the same class for not much more features since they use the same material for gears etc. Edit...just double checked..its actually more than your budget which puts it in the same range as the Penn Battle etc. Its a good reel though but if you gonna use braid go with the Battle.

Thanks Again guys.. ended up getting a penn pursuit combo.. Pursuit rod and Pursuit 8000 reel. for about 550 or something after discount... Looks like a nice set up.. didnt get any bite over the weekend to test it.

[X_Factor]

anyone up for some over night banking in the gulf?( not too sure of the exact spots but i hear its around patos, first bocas and environs)

its on a big mother boat ( toilet etc)....have 7 ppl so far...and i need to get 12-15ppl
we'r leaving alcan between 7-8pm
comin back about 7-8am

125-130 a man (boat man takes 100 a head, and the 25-30$ is for bait(live, dead, shrimp), soft drinks(water etc) chicken pelau)

usual rules, walk with ur own gears, what u catch is yours

anyone interested call me 306 5816

i know its kind of last minute but we only decided last night

[Hyperion]

Boy that mother boat is trouble, my cousin went, and the paying customers had to pull the monster anchor by hand. I don't think he goes so far offshore as Patos at night, what he usually does is anchor any place he feels like and goes to sleep, when he should really be moving around and trying different banks. As an experienced boat man he should know a few good banks, but is either he keeping them secret or he just don't care.

[kevin5211]

Now ask myself if x replying to his own post yes. Then i see it.lol by chance you know the boatman name. Have a padna organizing but not sure if is d samr boat
