What do you think of the Trinidad 30A

GO4EM · Post by **GO4EM** » Mon Jan 19, 2015 12:50 pm

I've been looking at conventional reels and I am thinking of getting the Trinidad 30A.
I want this reel for a set up for grouper/mutton/live baiting.
I like the star drag and weight of the reel.
If anyone has one or fished one... I am all ears.

Good for live baiting, bridges , piers , and muttons suck for grouper. Lost 3 grouper in one trip due to sticky and slipping drags. Reel was returned.The older gold models had same issue. Great reels til you have to have that drag then bye bye. For what you do though it will be fine. Torsa and you''ll never look back

No fear, Russ....dump them dartanium drags and buy a set of carbontex drags from smooth drag. I got cal grease so you can slap some on if you wish.

if you do buy one this may be the way to go. Then again it may not work as well as you think it might

Let me know.

I would only use it for trolling or shark fishing. I am tempted to get the pair.
