Trevala Rod

Postby Big T » Mon Mar 05, 2007 10:34 am

Larry,
I love your show, I enjoy seeing someone fishing for exotic species and not going to the usual spots in Florida or the Bahamas. My question is I am interested in getting a Trevala rod to use for fishing for small sharks along the coastal esturaies. I would also like to use this rod for bull reds and catfish as well. Would a medium action spinning version of this rod work also I would like to get either a Spheros reel or a baitrunner. The Sustains and Stellas are out of my budget. What size reel in eihter of these series would work on this setup. Also I am probably going to load it with braid with a top shot of mono. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Tony

Hi big T,
I'd say the 8000 size is a good compromise between line capacity, comfort and casting performance.

Thanks Larry,
One more question, I saw the epsisode where you were fishing for the Jau catfish. What kind of setup were you using. It looked like a two speed offshore reel and a roller tip rod.

Thanks,
Big T

hi bt,
I was using a tld 2 speed 50 and a 52" stand-up rod with harness.
You could almost sink the boat with it!
