    Daiwa Saltiga 30 = 25lb - surface iron and jig rod

    Calcutta 700TE = maybe 20lb for live bait?????

    Avet LX 2speed = 30 or maybe even 40 - dropperloop and yoyo???

    Any suggestions. Is 20 to light or should I do 30 for the live bait rod?

    Saltiga: Minimum of 30 for surface and 40 if you're going to Yo-Yo.

    Calcutta: Sounds good!

    Avet LX: Dropper Loop FTW! Use +30lb. line

    As for the live bait rod, I's say it depends on the target species and the conditions.

    Here's what I would suggest with what you have.

    Saltiga...30# with a jig rod...Use it as a light jig stick or bait stick

    Calcutta...20# bait stick...Gotta have a 20# set-up. Go to most of the time.

    Avet....40# for dropper loop, yo-yo, and heavy bait stick in case you need to muscle them in.

    My suggestion....Get a smaller profile 20# reel. Tor14, Trini14. Whatever... and move the Calcutta to a 25# bait stick. You'll have all it covered. Then again, a nice 15# will always be handy for those local trips.
    As for line.... I like Maxima for the inshore island stuff and P-line or Izor for the off shore stuff.

    THanks for all the suggestions guys. Well this is what Im getting put on my reels tomorrow. It will be P-Line CXX blue or clear.

    Daiwa Saltiga 30 = 30 lb jig stick

    Calcutta 700TE = 20 lb bait stick

    Avet LX 2speed = 40 lb dropperloop and yoyo

    I also just converted my luna 253 and Okuma rod into my bighammer/lucanus rod. Straight spectra with a 15 lb flouro leader. This rod will be fun to use out at clemente or catalina i bet.

    If I can afford a certain cumara rod im going to put a 2500 stradic mgfb on it with 20 lb spectra and fish yellowtail with it at the islands. Gonna see if shimano is worth its name.... I will make sure I post a detailed report on this when I get out. This will be fun so look out for that report in june or july.

    THanks again for the suggestions...
