We have a number of different rods and reels available for every trip so we can match the tackle to whatever we are catching. When we are fishing for very large fish we use Penn 30 pound class reels and custom rods. The trolling reels we use most frequently are Shimano TLD 20's (20-pound test line) mounted on custom rods. Our medium weight (20 pound) spin tackle consists of Shimano Spin reels mounted on custom spin rods. Our light weigh (12 pound) spin tackle is generally Shimano 3500 Baitrunners on 12 pound class rods. When we go fishing we have the right tackle to catch fish and to provide you with a quality fishing experience!

We have a wide range of rods and reels as well as terminal tackle to use while we are fishing.
