Fishing for marlin with light 10kg game outfits is a great way to increase your capture rate, using 10kg allows you to use thin gauge hooks on your skirts or livebaits which increases your hookup and landing rate. Thin hooks penetrate easily into the mouths of Stripe and Black Marlin, the light 10kg line isnt heavy enough to bend these hooks out mid fight. Typically anglers pop their fish off boatside by intentionally pulling the hook when grabbing leader, this method increases the fishes chances of survival. This combo will also work great as a trolling / downrigging setup for Spanish Mackerel, Longtail Tuna and Mahi Mahi. The Tiagra 16 is a ultra reliable reel with a smooth drag and two speed setting. Shimano's 10kg Tiagra Hyper rod is fully rollered, braid friendly and coming in at 6ft6 you will easily be able to manouver around the boat when hooked up. Lighter game outfits dont require a gimbal.
This Combo Includes
- Shimano Tiagra 16A
- Shimano Tiagra Hyper 6ft6 10kg 1pc
- Daiwa J-Braid x4 30lb 500m + 10kg Momoi Topshot (Approx 300m)
