Halibut gear

I have one Penn 6/0 on a halibut rod I will loan out if a seat warmer needs gear for the upcoming halibut season.

Keta,
If I get a seat on either Pilar's or Ray's or someone else's boat going out of Newport on the second week of May, I sure could use it. I am experienced and go by all loaning rules. You break it a new one takes it's place. count me in. and Thanks for the offer. Tom

I still have a 6/0 for sale that is spooled with 80# dacron, enough to bit bottom twice in the shallow spots at the ranch.

Mr Fisherman,

What do you want for the 6/0? I looked for it in the classifieds section but didn't see it. I'm buying heavier gear, and may be interested.

I have a Penn Senator 9/0, is this to big for Halibut fishing ? or should I just keep it on the mantle.
Thanks Gene.

Skien, The 6/0 sold but I may be talked out of one of my new 4/0 High Speed Wide Senator Specials.

ibeanfishing, the 9/0 is pretty durn big but a few of us might be interested in running a rod for Bill this year. You might have to take out a second mortgage to spool it up with 80# tuff line :shocked: .
