Hello everyone,

I just purchased an offshore rig so to speak. The setup is a Penn Senator Baja Special reel matched with a Seeker BA 50 7' rod.
I mostly fish inshore however, I wanted to take the next step and I would like your input as to which species I can target and land with this particular set up.

Many thanks to all,
Dan

Sounds like a decent Tuna Jigging setup to me.

Fill that puppy with 65lb braid. Add a topshot of 60 lb mono and your good to go for tuna jigging

I never fished Penn Senators offshore but I know they account for many noticeable catches. If you spool up 30lb test thats 375 yards. You could take it sharking and have a good time catching small-medium sized sharks. Probably a suitable setup for schoolie tuna as well.

tuna jigging for sure. just spool it up and fish

Excellent,

This is just what I was expecting. I have 300 yds of Spectra under the mono topshot. I am very happy to hear that this setup will work for those species. Thank you.

that set uo will work great. just if you are planing on taking out on a party boat for tuna, most boats on the east coast do not allow braid. but if not have at it.
