Ultimate Heavy Boat Combo
ComboBoat1: Avet LX4.0 with Star Rod B507HC.
When you put the best of the best together… you always come out with the finest rod and reel combination available. This is it! The massive power and smoothness of the Avet LX series really sets this outfit apart from the rest of the pack. Star drag reels are not even in the same league and other lever drags all fall short on one place or another (small cranks, graphite frames, etc). With a true one piece BILLET bar stock machined aluminum frame (your choice of colors.. gold, silver, blue, black or satin grey), all stainless steel components, super smooth and x-powerful lever drag and an XL power handle, you can horse the nastiest grouper off the bottom or stop the fastest wahoo that swims. Teamed up with the mighty Star Rod B507HC… at 7', 50-80# line and 2-8 ounce lure (you can fish anything you want on this rod, actually)… you have the ultimate heavy fighting machine for bottom fish, live baiting and trolling. Spooled with 500 yards of 80# Power Pro and backing (call for price if you want mono line). Price includes shipping

Quite Simply the BEST OF THE BEST. The massive power and smoothness of the Avet JX series really sets this outfit apart from the rest of the pack. Star drag reels are not even in the same league and other lever drags all fall short on one place or another (small cranks, graphite frames, etc).

ComboBoat8: Daiwa LD50H with Fenwick SeaHawk SHC701MH.
The Daiwa LD50H is one of the best kept little secrets on the market. I would argue that they are as good as the awesome TLD15.

Teamed up with another of the best secrets in the fishing community… the Fenwick SeaHawk 7' MH rod… it is a real match made in heaven. You can drop a lot of money on a rod and reel… you won't be able to find much better. They are both exceptional values, incredible performers and just downright rugged! I highly recommend this combo.

Finesse Medium/Heavy Boat Combo
ComboBoat9: Avet MX with Rogue SW705C.
While we are all looking to put maximum pressure on a fish, we don't always want "brute" strength. Much of the fishing we do on both coasts for stripers, snook, albies, yellowtails, bull reds, etc. requires a strong and powerful yet light and sensitive rod and reel. This is the combo for that application! The new Avet MX series is the bigger broth of the SX… larger and more line capacity, yet not big and bulky. They also cast like a missile! Your choice of Gold, Silver, Blue, Black or Grey Satin. Team that power and finesse with an incredible rod like the Rogue SW705C and you have a dream team. The Rogue is very light, very sensitive and exceptionally powerful at the same time. 7', 15-30# line and cork grips. This is a very powerful rod… I have one of these exact outfits and it is one of the finest balances I have ever felt. It feels like I am fishing with a Ferrari… I mean that. Just simply sleek, light, sensitive and powerful. Spooled with 500 yards of 50# Power Pro and backing, price includes shipping.
$419.99.....................................................................................

The Daiwa 40HSD is a no-frills workhorse that will give you a lifetime of hard use. Teamed up with the mighty Daiwa Eliminator 7' 12-30# rod (they have the rod grossly underated), you have a dream heavy bottom fishing, trolling and live bait combo. I highly recommend this outfit! Spooled with 30# Premium mono. Price includes shipping.
$159.99.....................................................................................

And don't jus think this outfit is for party boat use… it is one of the finest medium bottom fishing, trolling and livebaiting outfits you can get!
