You can now beef up that Jigmaster by replacing the standard gear sleeve with an Alan Tani stainless steel one which you can get from Scott's Bait & Tackle for $21.00. This means you can now use more...

First post

I'm headed Gulf side next month, going after Tarpon, from the beach. One rig
will be a 10' with a Baitrunner. A spool of 50 braid and 100lb floro, as leader.
My web searches have show many variations...

Last post

Thanks for setting me straight! K.I.S.S. is a good rule of thumb. I went with
heavy braid and leader to not spend the fish easing a light line. Going to
put a bait out while I work a lure.

I've got an Emblem 902MFS - 9' medium action with lowriders in the corner doing nothing

Want to use it this summer in the surf for snook in the trough

Looking at shimano reels....got some paypal...

Last post

Ok then we agree i am just saying i would use a different set up for walking the beach. If i was on a pier a 9ft rod would be much more practical. :toast:

Gulp actually works well.

Gulp Alive has the advantage of recharge in the little buckets they sell. I do not buy it very often because of the price tag but then again as mentioned already it seems to...

Yes, just tip a sabiki with bits of squid or shrimp and cast it anywhere there are shallow seagrass beds, you should be able to load up on pins in no time.

I needed to better understand the difference between rod action and power and this URL helped me.

What it did not cover in enought detail was power recommendations.
Am considering purchasing a rod...

Last post

I agree with these guys. I think you are going to need two rods, one for around more structure and one for open grass flats to really be happy.
