ryan99tt,i use POWER PRO..but that expensive to spool up a reel.. 300yrds or one spool goes for like $295. My tourim uses like 700yrds and my penn uses like 600yrd...

but all mine done i hadda bring down some more brands...

As i said b4 tuners if you want a rod and reel, just PM me and say what lenght you guys want and what kind of reel you want and i will get it for you... I mostly have DAWIA rods

[Smeed]

Some of those online stores like tacledirect.com and alltackle.com are starting their spring sales. I got 500 yds of power pro 50lb Braid for US$47....even with shipping and tax it might still be cheaper than buying it in Trinidad. Also, u get some cool deals from tese stores.....eg. buy a reel and get 300 yds of power pro free etc.

HaRdCoRe_YoUtH losing that kit must be hurt yuh eh......i know de feeling, i've lost gear too...so i resorted to carrying only what i tink i would use for any given trip....leave de majority of stuff at home...buh say wha - fishing could be an expensive hobby!

trueeee!!

I understand what you say carry what you need but you still dont know what to expect! Once i carried only a few hooks and a few sinkers and fish was really biting but our lines were getting stuck in rocks.. We ran out of sinkers resorted to using stone and then ran out of hook and MAN WAS FISH PLAYING!!!!! So i always carry my complete kit....

but say wah i make some other fisher man really happy...trust me! when he open that kit he gonna see hooks and tackle accessories that he may have never seen in his life...."lucky bastard"

[Smeed]

let me let u in on some advice...tarpon or grantaki as we know it are game fish! there are some tarpons that snatch and swollow and then there are the so called "experienced" one...They take your bait hold it in their mouth and they swim around with it not swallowing it for a while...for this you need to give line! They tend to do this with live bait more! fed them line and when you think you gave them enough give a hard tug and hold on!..lol

[Smeed]

I hear ya.....been intrigued by them since a few years now....never caught a big one, but i'll keep on trying.....is that track/road in manzan open everyday?....i passed there last month and saw the road....the gate was open but no one was there ...so who do u pay?....do u drive in and pay lower down the road?

[X_Factor]

ne of u all use braided line to do normal surf/cast fishing?
if so, what colour?...because im hearing/reading that the braided line is more used for banking but because of its thickness vs strength and the fact that it does not stretch...im thinking about putting a 300-400yrds on a reel for normal casting!!

and how u all rate the Penn Captiva 5000?

and if anyone wants a diawa sweepfire 4000 reel
filled with trilene 20lb nylon
(never used)
offer something

wall, you need to get a rod that doesnt break down into pieces.. You need like a penn rod or shimano rod! It will be one straight rod, not more than 8ft long and well a good reel...

well im just going to use one of my trolling rods instead of buying a new rod so i just need a big surf caster spinning reel with a high line capacity ....any 1 have 1 for sale let me no asap.

[HaRdCoRe_YoUtH]

X_Factor, you could use the braided line but it could give some trouble while casting out! Give it a try! I use it once or twice and it worked ok but you are right it is more used for banking, jigging and most deep sea fishing....

and about the penn reel...it is a great spinning reel..

[X_Factor]

what size hooks u all normally use?

1-02?

[Smeed]

X_Factor actually braided lone is technically supposed to be the better line for surf fishing since it has no stretch and greater strength vs. diameter when compared to mono. However, apparently not all reels can use braid. I recently ordered some braid and when looking at reels, all the major brands have reels that are designated as "braid ready".

I don't know what the difference in the reels are....but when i receive the reels i ordered i'll check to see what it is. Also, braided line supposedly does not give u the big belly that u get with mono when fishing in a lot of wind due to its smaller diameter.

wrt line colour i guess its your preference.....might just use a clear leader or sumting...i ordered de power pro hi vis yellow and moss green....i like to see where my line is, but there are a lot of colours to choose from

HaRdCoRe_YoUtH dais a reaaaaaal big spool dere.....and it full right to de brim...yuh line doesn't slip off de spool sometimes seeing it sooooo full?

[X_Factor]

http://www.amazon.com/SpiderWire-Stealt ... d_sbs_sg_1

was lookin at that braided line,...the 50lb test line

price is pretty decent as i saw spiderwire sellin for 300+ in some tackle shops
and in this
http://www.amazon.com/Storm-WildEye-Swi ... _sim_sg_12

which colour will u choose for our waters?....its 3 per pack so the price isnt bad at all!!

I will have to get a quote from my supplier.. I will let you know when he gives me any feedback.

[lancer3]

Southern Wholesale Stores Ltd are the dealer for Daiwa and Penn so most likely it will work out cheaper buying from them than shipping in them urself. Most tackle shops in tnt buy from them.

X_Factor, my uncle uses braided line for surf fishing and yea it might have its advantage.

1. allows casting further cus its light
2. its thinner so u get more line in ur reel.

disadvantage

1. u need to have something between ur finger and line for casting, cuz it can cut
2. if it gets bruise up on rocks ect it will burst easily
3. cost a lot

for me i dont care for it and will continue to use the normal nylon for surf fishing
