I ended up using the cheap Sabre Jigsticks with 3/0 Hooks fly lineing dines. I never threw an iron because the catch was wide open on dines. If the shitty rod hadn't decided to fall apart on me while I was pulling in one of those big Yellowfins I would have said it worked great. I had the Sealine 40 on it and the reel would stay seated on the shaft. The cork eneded up peeling and it wouldn't tighten at all to the bar rod. I was able to pull the Yellowfin up with some help and a scerwdriver to keep tightening down the reel during the fight.
I should have just brought my Heavy inshore Teramar rods. They would have worked fine, just a bit more fight! I need to go buy some good Jigsticks now. I feel I am officially past the bargain basement crap.
