If you are heading to the tropics and want to throw stickbaits, poppers and diving poppers at GT and oversized Reefies the PE8 Miller Rod Pirate paired with a Stella SW D 18000HG is the premium choice. The Pirate has a powerful action which will cast a huge range of lures and has enough tip power for popping. The 7’7” length is capable of good casting distance, yet not too long to be tiring to use. Miller's blank construction is from graphites blended specifically for this model that provide a well-balanced high-performance tool that is also robust. The Shimano Stella SW D 18000 is the ultiamte big game spinning reel, packed with all the new tech these reels are ready to take on any sized pleagic fish. We suggest using PE8 if you are fishing shallower water for GT and larger reef fish, or if you are lucky enough to be chasing Dogtooth Tuna on topwater. This combo is also a great option if you are chasing Yellowtail Kingfish or Yellowfin Tuna. We chose Sufix 832 braid for this combo as it is casts very well and has great abrasion resistance.
This Combo Includes:
- Shimano Stella SW D 18000HG
- Miller Rod Pirate 7ft7 PE8 2pc
- Sufix 832 80lb 300yd
