Wayne,

I "was planning" on bringing my:

505JM 20 pound kit
506JM 30 pound kit

And my Penn 320 LW for trolling.

I'll bring extra spools for the 505 & 506 but I hate changing spools on the fly!

Hopefully we won't need to downgrade to lighter test.

Too Lazy!

Buy it nice or buy it twice.

 Steve, the Tornado switched to spectra last year on all bait sticks. 50# with 25# mono topshot 10-12' long. He hasn't updated his website to say this, but I can tell you first hand that it is a fact

At least you got some extra space now to fit new info!

Wayne - Another beautiful Ted creation.  El Pescador might be feeling a little bit of pressure, because if you can't slay some fish with THAT reel.... - john

John,

I didn't want to say that!

But Wayne can always hand it off to me for test work out on the trip!

Brewcrafter!!!

Any uneasy feeling about catching albacore can we calmed down with a can of brew or two of your specialty beer!!!  Like the trip in Morro Bay where you sent it north from your hometown.  I'm just thinking!!!!!

And Steve, Yes, I'll be more than happy to send Ted's Black Mamba around the boat for those who want to pull on it.

Also, I've talked with Dominick, and he will send with us one of his Penn Torque star drag reels - same one I used in 2012 out of Santa Cruz for my last Albacore trip.  That too was a barn burner of a catch'n trip.

Wayne
Never let the skinny guys make the sandwiches!!  NEVER!!!!

Why isnt Dommie sending Dommie to use the Torque himself????

Dominick

Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
