Cow tuna+stiff rods+circles question

[Eric H]

I love circle hooks, been using them a long time and have never had a problem with them.

Ive had great success with them for tuna as well.

Im now just.getting into long range stuff.

I picked up a calstar grafifhter 780 XXH (8ft) 80-130 and paired it with accurate BV2 1,000 spooled almost all the way with 100lb power pro.

Theres so much talk out there about stiff rods and circles not mixing.
Considering my rods is a total broomstick,  is the circle going to be able to turn properly and do its thing?

I don't know what you're classifying as long range but I don't think rod power has anything to do with it.. I think it's more trolling or if you're just dropping a bait down.. From what I've seen (and I'm no expert) is you want a J hook when trolling.. Hope that helps..

Eric, try posting this on BD. There are more people on BD that frequent the 14 to 17 day trips. Just a thought
