Top 5 Saltwater Pole Reviews - What Are the Pros and Cons of Each

Saltwater fishing is a lot different from freshwater fishing. Therefore, you will need different types of equipment. One of the main decisions you will make will be choosing the type of fishing poles that you use. The type you choose will depend on what type of saltwater fishing you plan to do.

Before you buy your saltwater fishing poles there are a few things that you should take into consideration. The three main types of saltwater fishing are inshore, offshore and surf fishing. When you go inshore fishing you will stay mainly in the shallow water. This means that most of the fish you catch will be of small to medium size. You will need to purchase a fishing pole that is strong enough to hold up to approximately a twenty pound fish without snapping. However, at the same time it needs to be lightweight enough to not induce fatigue. Saltwater fishing poles are also designed for fishing from piers.

There are two methods and two types of fishing poles used when inshore fishing, they are listed below along with a brief description.

Spinning Fishing Poles -These poles are similar in design but they are used with a spinning reel. The beginner may find this type of rod and reel to be the easiest for them to use. Lightweight lures will also work very well with this type of fishing pole.

When offshore fishing you will encounter larger fish and you will need saltwater fishing poles that can also endure the extra weight you will be dealing with. The three methods used for offshore fishing are listed below.

Bottom Fishing
Trolling
Fly Fishing
Surf fishing is growing in popularity and the saltwater fishing poles designed for this type of fishing are considered specialty poles. They are designed to be used with both the conventional casting reels and spinning reels. They are designed in three different lengths which are nine, twelve and fourteen feet long. These long lengths will allow you to make longer casts but you should be prepared for them to be a little heavier than many of the other fishing poles.

Once you have determined what type of fishing you plan on participating in, you should take into consideration the special quality of each saltwater fishing pole. There are four main qualities that separate one fishing pole from another. These are listed below.

Total Length

The butt of the fishing pole is the distance between the very back end of the pole and the reel. The casting poles have the shorter butts followed by the spinning pole and then the bottom saltwater fishing poles or trolling poles have the longest butt lengths. It is up to the angler to choose the one that suits their size the best.

What is the best reel/pole set up for a 2 day tuna trip out of San Diego?

I've been on 6 tuna trips in the past and always used (with success) a rental rod where you just toss the bait when there is a hook up. I've always been envious of the fishermen who have their own setups and cast irons or sardines to where the fish actually are. I've booked a trip out of San Diego in September on a 22 person boat, and would love to try my hand at casting some irons/sardines on the trip.

That's a good reel (I like Daiwas), and it'll probably handle all your fishing fine unless larger bluefins show -- some years there are good bites on 50-100+ pound bluefins. If the ocean is overrun with small yellowfins (5-10 pounders) you could get away with lighter tackle, but the 30 pound line will do fine on them. It'll do fine for the albacore as well, but if it's a warm-water year, the albies might be long gone by September.

For a rod, I'd recommend a 7 footer like the Calstar 870c or 970c (http://calstarrods.net/westcoast.htm). 7 feet is long enough to cast a sardine decently, but short enough that an extended fight with a large fish won't hurt you. There are other good brands, but basically what you're looking for is a fast action 7-foot conventional rod made for 15-40 or 20-40 pound line.

Except when the little yellowfin are berserk, I haven't had much success offshore with surface irons, but I've done plenty of damage with heavy yoyo irons. For tuna, chrome finish is the way to go, with jigs like the Tady 9 or the Salas 6xJr; for yellowtail painted jigs (brown/white or blue/white), the same models (though my biggest offshore yellowtail, 34 pounds, ate a chrome jig). You don't need a long rod to cast a 4-6 ounce jig. Cast it out with the wind at your back (the opposite side of the boat from the bait fishermen), let it sink 30-60 seconds as the boat drifts towards it, then bring it up fast. If the fish are near the surface, start cranking as soon as the jig hits the water.

Actually, if you're renting a heavier (40-50 pound outfit) as a backup, use it for the jigs, and use your 30-pound rig for bait. You can get away with heavier line with jig fishing, and it's easier to keep it rigged than to switch back and forth.

Make sure you watch the catch counts in the days and weeks leading up to your trip so you'll know what to expect. There's plenty of info available online.
