re: Offshore rod/reel set up for Snapper

Jigging period is miserable for AJS/blackfin etc. For jigging usually for blackfin for chunk bait use daiwa saltist 2 speed on a shimano trevala. Shimano torium is a great budget reel as well. For snapper I would use cut squid mix with a pogie on it and tanacom 1000 or fresh live threadfin/baby hardtails for big boys...All of our bottom fishing now is done with electric reels saves so much time and effort and puts meat in the box so can head further south for pelagics. Trolling wise we just use TLD 50s and have had no issues catching yft up to 180 pounds and have caught ands hooked marlin as well. 80 pound braid to 80 mono top shot on pinnacle rods. Cant go wrong with pinnacle on tht. Dont get addicted to bad as tackle and gear gets expensive QUICK......LOL
