The
spinning rod and reel combo seen on
the show featured a
Shimano
Spheros 5000 reel on a
7' Teramar rod rated for
15-30lb (model TMSF70H).
This is a very versatile spinning outfit and is perfect for working
plugging trophy stripers and big bluefish. The
conventional rod and reel combo we recommend features a
Shimano
Torium 20 reel on a
Tallus conventional rod (model
TLC-70MHA). This is a
very versatile conventional outfit and is perfect for nearly all northeast
live lining and chunking applications.
The spinning reel is loaded with
30lb
Berkley
Fireline Crystal which is attached to a 3ft length of
50lb Yo-Zuri Disappearing Pink Fluorocarbon leader using a
#10 Mustad
Rolling Swivel. The small profile of the swivel virtually
eliminates any chance of picking up debris.
The surface plugs used were 6" (1 3/8oz)
Yo-Zuri
Surface Cruiser and
Hydro Pencil plugs. Both plugs are easy to work, have tremendous
casting distance, and draw dramatic strikes from the fish. The
swimming lure used was the 6 1/2" (1 3/8oz)
Yo-Zuri
Crystal Minnow Magnum. This lure is a prefect imitation of
the large baitfish found in the Northeast. Several of the
patterns exactly mimic a herring in action, size, and color. The
weight and shape of the lure make it perfect for both boat and surf
applications. The lure can handle any size fish from schoolies
to trophies.
The conventional reel is loaded with
30lb
Berkley Big
Game which is attached to a 3ft length of
50lb Yo-Zuri Disappearing Pink Fluorocarbon leader using a
#10 Mustad
Rolling Swivel. The rig is completed with a
9/0 Mustad Ultrapoint Beak Bait style hook. This is an incredibly
sharp hook and is the most effective hook when using large live baits,
whole dead baits, or chunk baits

The cast nets seen on this show were supplied by Charlie K of
East Coast Nets. These nets are
all hand made and are specifically designed for bunker (menhaden) netting in
the region. They are the first choice of charter captains from Virginia
through Massachusetts. Charlie not only makes great nets, but he can
teach you how to throw them! |
 |
|
| The raging currents and big fish made the net choice especially
critical. A
Frabill
Powercatch net with it's extendable handle was used and ensured that
none of the fish were lost at boat-side. This is a a great net that stores easily and all
you have to do is slide, lock and
load and it is ready to go! |
