Reel and Rod setup?

737 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  fish121
I have this St. Croix rod, TM69XHF Legend Tournament Musky Rod 36-80lbs line, do you think my accurate 665hxm OR my 870m would be better suited w. the rod for jigging and some trolling? I might spool with 300 yrds of 65-80lbs spectra on whatever setup I try. I want to go for mostly tuna, but I'm not sure what my setup could handle. Any help would be great. Thanks

I have built rods from the saltwater/musky series great rods ..But I would not use it for trolling its a graphite rod..To much drag & one big fish strike = broken rod....go with a glass or composite for trolling.......
