jigging rod

papio

Hey all,

Just got my OTI 5'6'' 600g rod. It's a pretty sweet-lightweight and much much thinner than my Sevenseas Tuna Mania spin jig rod. I'm not sure if the rod can manhandle a large Grouper or a big brute AJ away from an oil rig. I don't think its quick enough for the bruisers initial power surge

Anyone who owns this rod ever try a dead lift test and how much did it lift? I started to but chickened out for I much rather break the rod on a real-world test on big fish. Has anyone had a chance to put this rod thru a good work out offshore yet? I'm supah excited with my new toy but will be a few months before I take it out to the water.

good fishing'

no, i did not post up a report, because there was not a whole lot to report, unless you consider experience a report. i will be much better prepared. every day had thunderstorms and ugly water in certain areas. we fished three out of four days.

some chicken, a bull, and at a rig forty feet deep within site of shore we caught snapper, reds, sand trout, baby cuda, and a shark. my reds were on a tipped snapper slapper, lol.

I decided not to go on the TBB '07 because I'm on the Puerto Vallarta trip on Sept 7 - 11. I think I'm going to be way too sore and tired to make the Big E trip. Etan is going in my place. I'm sure that I'm going to regret not going whenever you guys come in with a report. Good luck on the trip!
