drag&snag1985 7 Posted October 31, 2018 I'd look into the fish 307 9 ft light rods or the riversider 9 ft light rods and ugly stick makes a 9 ft model to still I believe I want to get some new rod and reels for browns.

Any suggestions? Good call. Tough to find a rod and reel combination that will allow you to boat a 30 lb King and give you any kind of a battle with a 5 lb Brown. I run Diawa Sealine sg 27 lc's on light action ugly sticks for Browns and they are nice. I just bought a ****load of Shimano 500lc's to upgrade the Diawas and I will be putting the Diawas up for sale on this site when I get a chance. Some are like brand new with a couple trips on them and some have been used quite a bit and have boat rash. Price will range from $50.00 a piece for the boat rashed older ones to $70.00 a piece for the like new reels. If you are interested shot me a PM and I can send you some pictures. All reels have been religiously maintained and work perfectly. You over at Mikes? Edited October 31, 2018 by spoonfed-1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

spoonfed-1 45 Posted November 1, 2018 I got a couple of those left as well but they are the accudepth plus. The accudepths were junk. The accudepth plus were better but they are not as good quality as the sealine sg's. $40.00 for those if you want them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drag&snag1985 7 Posted November 1, 2018 I agree I'm slowly upgrading myself to sealines an tekotas but the accudepths plus I've used have held up good for browns an Lakers I got a couple of those left as well but they are the accudepth plus.

Yankee Troller 220 Posted November 7, 2018 Fat Nancy's has a nice 9' rod that quite a few guys are running. I believe they have M and ML. We have the ML, and it makes fighting Spring BT a ton of fun! As for a reel the Daiwa Accudepth or Sealine is more than enough in the 27 size. When you go in there ask for Dave and let him know you want to see the BT rods we're running. He'll know which ones.

FishingFool34 91 Posted November 15, 2018 I use the same setups for Browns that I use for Walleyes. 8' ML Diawa Wilderness rods and Okuma Convector 20 LC reels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chowder 54 Posted November 15, 2018 Eagle claw 8' ml w/ accudepth+ w/ 6lb test have worked well for me and can still manage a spring king if you slow down the boat and are patient and careful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sk8man 594 Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) The Accudepth Plus' and Sealine SG's are the same reel inside at least for the larger ones (e.g. 57's) Edited November 15, 2018 by Sk8man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
