[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 86487, member: 380"] Rods - Scheels or Jason Mitchell 14' rods for the outside. Shorties or any good stiff trolling rod for the inside. Shorties are harder to handle fish (until you get used to them), but also result in less tangles as lines are spread out more. 14'er's are beasts but a blast to use and spread your lures nice and wide. When getting long 2 piece rods, always make sure that when you break them apart to fold them down and you reel the line tight the tip of the upper piece should be shorter than the handle on the bottom piece. This will save you from breaking tips. Rods where the tip extends beyond the handle when reeled tight IMO are poorly designed. Reels - Diawa Gold series or the new Abu Garcia's. The Gold's line counter system is more accurate and holds up better than their cheaper model. The new Abu's are awesome in that if you real backwards when you have a fish on it cuts the drag in half. Great for when you get a really big fish or tough fighter on. Leadcore - Cabela's 18pound is the standard for most books that have charts. The new Berkley line Suffix is gaining ground. Don't cheap out. Cheaper leadcores when stretched tend to result in the lead popping out of the cloth. We use 20ft leads of 14lb fireline connected to the leadcore with a willis knot. Powerpro or other more limp lines won't work with a willis know as you need to be able to feed it into the leadcore sheath. [/QUOTE]
