[QUOTE="Brown Thunder, post: 5463709, member: 224444"] After intermittently renting rods once every few years to target yellowtail on full day boats to the Coronado Islands, I decided to take the plunge and get more serious about fishing this year. I've begun building my quiver and would like any suggestions on what I need to round out my gear over the next six months in preparation for the coming year. I'd like to target rock fish, yellowtail, yellowfin tuna, and bluefin tuna on boats leaving out of Southern California between March and October on full day, overnight, and 1.5 day trips. I'd like to take anywhere from 2-4 setups on the boat (e.g. a 25-30# setup for bait and light irons, a 40-50# setup for bait and heavier irons, and an 80# setup for yo-yo, etc.). Since I'm new and still learning what styles of fishing I like, I'd prefer to buy quality used gear that is dependable but that I can easily sell as my taste in gear/style changes and/or I want to upgrade. I prefer 7-8' rods and currently fish straight braid to short (4') fluorocarbon leaders but am open to trying different rigs. Here is what I have so far: Rods: Phenix Abyss 809 Calstar GF 800M Calstar WC970C Reels: Komodo SS 364 Komodo SS 463 Fathom 40NLD2 Here is what I'm considering buying to round out my quiver: Rods: Calstar GF 800H (for heavier irons and live bait) Calstar 700XH, 7400XH, 765XH, 775XH (for 80# setup) Penn Carnage II, 7', 50-130 braid (for 80# setup) Reels: Fathom II 25NSD (for heavier irons) Fathom 25NLD2 (for live bait) Thank you in advance for your suggestions on what gear I'm considering and anything else that I may be missing!
