SOLD…..Have an excellent condition Trinidad 16A loaded at least 3/4 full of 65lb braid and 40lb top shot to the top. Has 1 small area of rash from a party boat ride. Has been taken on 3 trips but only used once for dropping for deep rockfish. Hate to let it go but need the money to help out one...
i just recently got a new trinidad 16a and whenever i loosen the tension knob on it the spool clicks left hand right. only time it doesn’t happen is when i tighten it down which makes it harder to cast irons/jigs. anyone know how to fix this? also i heard that these trinidad’s last a long time...
created a thread earlier wasn’t sure how to let everyone who replied in that thread earlier of yesterday but the vid is out now! 10ft rod vs local bluefin. Dana wharf sum fun boat put us on some fish.
I don't have any lakes near me to go practice at, do you guys think there are any downsides to practice casting at my local park with the hooks cutoff. I don't see how there could be one but maybe the dirt from the ground can clog stuff up.
TL;DR: made a DIY jig/surface irons board for display and storage, check it out
I’ve collected quite a few Tady, Salas, J-pot, Caivo, Iron Man , and other surface iron jigs and other lures that I use for yellowtail, bass, Skip Jack, and other fish.

Do y’all think a PCH custom inshore Heavy would be enough to pull yellowtail out of the kelp and rocks, or is the xheavy the way to go. I’m looking at the heavy so I would have a rod that would be able to do calico and yellows.

Headed out last week on a typical deep structure winter bass trip. When we got a nice surprise from a huge bird school in the distance. Have to say it was a nice change throwing the surface iron in 56 degree water in January! So much volume and a great grade of fish, we had them boiling around...

Californian Tri Helix 9ft H 30-60 Lb jig stick (phenix blank) Hasn't been used in a while. No issues with guides. Ready to slay some tuna, yellowtail and calicos.
Perfect for surface iron, coltsnippers, stick baits and poppers.
Near new condition. It was taken on one trip to Guadalupe in 2018 but never fished. It had a reel mounted on it for that trip but not fished. This is a unique rod that is relatively hard to find these days. It is a corktape rod. It could be used for throwing large surface iron as well as...
Had an opportunity to jump on my buddy's battlewagon mid-week and join 200 of my closest friends at the worst-kept secret in Southern California.
Summertime, and the fishin's easy.
It took all of 5 minutes to hookup on the Nomad and make sure the fish were still there (spoiler alert: they...
i notice the better water clarity in Del Mar/Torrey pines area. Last week in LJ we barely scraped up a few calicos and nothing else. Any reports of decent bass fishing off of Del Mar area?
Second time this year I put a date on the calendar to go tuna fishing, and the tuna go lockjaw the day or two before, only to resume biting a couple days later. Like clockwork, every time. C'est la vie, let's go to the islands and have some fun. Got to South Island, dropped Rapalas back, and got...
My reel seat on my 900 m has failed and the graphite is crushed in (deckhand style). Does calstar still make/ replace rods with warranty? I tried calling the number but there is no voicemail setup. Any advice on what to do with the jig stick? It is still functional but that part of the graphite...

Curious if someone has a comparison on how the different models swim. Learned about these in here but looking for more details on swimming characteristics of the different models: 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, the 2.2 and the 3.3. Which one has the wider and which has the tighter kick? They look good and I...
Neophyte surface iron guy and did not find a perfect thread for my question(s). Looking to pick up a Tesoro for local to baja surface iron. Question one: Feeling the 10 is better than the 12 for this purpose. Are people using the 12 rather than the 10?
Question two: Thinking to go with...
Does anyone use their Talica 12 or 16 two speed for throwing surface irons? I feel like the whole "lever drags dont cast well" is another one of those outdated sport boat statements based on technology that isnt use anymore. I've been throwing a flat fall with mine lately, but using a shorter...
Owned my Tranx 500 since 2014. Im noticing that I'm just not getting the casting distance that I likely should be on this reel. For example, My Daiwa Lexa 400, which is the same age and has caught probably 2x the fish can throw a surface iron probably 1.5x as far than my Tranx on the same rod...
A friend of mine has a few Conlon blanks he wants to give to me. I am thinking about wrapping them and making jigsticks out of them... I can't find any info on them. If anybody has knowledge on the blanks I would love to hear it :)?

I just ordered a Shimano torium 20 and I am looking for a good all around rod. I am 15 so I don’t have a lot of money to spend. Any suggestions would be helpful thanks!
I've got two Roddy jig sticks- both from unwrapped blanks that had never seen the light of day until a three years ago: fishing 40# & 50#. But I think I favor the Trulines more because of versatility. I have Truline jig sticks to fish 25#, 30#, 40#, 50# and 60# surface iron. Don't think Roddy...
Just came up on six Salas christy2 irons. Any suggestions on how to fish them, they seem like a weird in betweener. Very slow action, and 4oz. I’m thinking maybe a good calico jig. Thoughts
Hey guys I know the casting distance depends on a lot of variables so let me clear some of those up.
I'll be using a Daiwa BG 5000 (I like this size because it holds 310yards of 65lb and weights 22.6 oucnes)

My wife's grandfather was a fisherman, and my good friend. He told me on his deathbed that he wanted myself and my brother in law to split his gear. My brother in law isn't so much into the fishing like i am, so after 8 years, my wife's grandmother was finally ready to let some of these things...
