The rod and reel combo seen on the
show featured a
Shimano
Stradic
4000FI
7'
Teramar rod rated for 10-20lb (model TMS70MH). This is a
very versatile spinning outfit and is perfect for working light
bucktails on the bottom.
The spinning reel was loaded with
30lb
Berkley
Fireline which is attached to a 3ft length of
50lb Yo-Zuri Disappearing Pink Fluorocarbon leader using a
#10 Mustad
Rolling Swivel. Two dropper loops were tied in the leader 6 inches
from either end. The rig is completed with a
3/0 Mustad Ultrapoint Beak Bait style hook on each dropper loop.
Two different baits were used. A fluke
strip/spearing combo soaked in
Mustad Activate Saltwater Bait Enhancer (STBE-SALT). This
product is perfect marinade for any cut bait. It is easily absorbed and
uses pheromones to trigger the feeding response. The other bait
was a
Berkley Gulp Alive 4inch Shrimp that was sprayed with
Mustad Activate Spray. This product is prefect for soft
baits. It is very easy to apply and re-apply it as needed (every
couple of drifts).
