Tackle hoarders, what have you picked up lately???

[sabaman1]

Turners black friday sale.Today I finally found the rod I've been looking for for a few months, a Phenix Trifecta lite 904. This is an awesome rod for surf fishing throwing the Lucky craft 110 minnows for various surf species especially halibut. The Phenix rods have had low stock since the pandemic, as the blank shipments from china have been few and far between.

[David Hall]

Most recent purchase is a Phenix Titan Long Fall 30-80 SPJ rod and an Okuma Alijos 16 2 speed.  Haven't used them yet but bringing them on my next LR trip.

that tiburon reel is cool...what's it for...tuna on a kayak? and your abu is likely a black max 3600 depending on the weight...but that's what i reckon...if you dremel all the parts shiny and some light oil she's a fine little casting reel

I've recently bought the folllowing:

2 Shimano speedmaster IV (one that i'm trying to sell cuz i've bought so much stuff)

Old Shimano Trinidad 20

An Avet LX 6.0 that came with a beater 7' rod

2 Dave workman Jr signature kingfish rods

Shimano Speedmaster 2 speed 16 as a birthday gift

an old japanese tld 15 that ended up breaking on me 😢

Serious case of GAS 😂

[Gfish]

What broke on the TLD sebastianr240?

That 27sh has a nice lookin handle on it Jason, some kinda aftermarket product?

The frame. It's replaceable but i just don't want to invest more into it since it was a project reel.

Indeed. I find the stock 27SH way too short for comfort, so it woulda gotten swapped anyway. I have another, they're great little reels.

Whereabouts?

[Bryan Young]

I picked up some more surf rods...Okuma's HCS (Hawaiian Custom Surf) Rods in 13 and 14 foot for fishing in Hawaii.  These are 3 piece rods set up for fishing spinners, but I will strip the guides, re-position them and add more guides for surf bait casting with Newell 338s for the 13 foot rods and 344s for the 14 foot rods.  They are super light and I just like the feel of them.
