Well aware of the tackle requirements. Used to outfit guys going up to fish for sturgeon. Penn had an 8ft rod in the Slammer Series that seemed to fill the bill, paired with a 4/0 High Speed Senator, spooled with 80lb Trilene XT. Could get it out the door for about 395.00. That was my cost plus 10%. Never got to go up myself, but had several guys that went up on a regular basis. Had one guy that insisted that a large Penn Spinning reel w/ 30lb XT would be adequate. First fish he hooked, spooled him and burned out the drag. He invested in the conventional outfit !!
