Deep Sea Fishing Gear

Offshore of Key West lies some of the most diverse fishing grounds in the Atlantic Ocean.

Huge pelagic fish (fish that wander the ocean) migrate in and out of the Straits of Florida and Gulf of Mexico providing intense deep-sea battles year round.

The rods and reels are pushed to their limits, and as a result, pro charterboats and serious offshore fishermen always invest in top quality equipment.

Proven names like Penn & Shimano are a smart choice.

Deep sea fishing rods - they must withstand incredible strain. Insist on quality roller guides and durable handles. Below is a selection of rods and reels available for sale. Click on them for more info and ordering.

Trolling Lures - from the small Billy Baits (made in Marathon Key), to the huge Hawaiian-style doorknobs used for dolphin and marlin, there are a lot of choices for trolling. Bright colors, dull colors, everyone has a favorite combination. Green and pink is definitely a part of a good "spread". Downriggers and outriggers are worth their weight in gold offshore. If it's tuna you are after, drag cedar plugs far from the transom. Must haves: plenty of fresh ballyhoo ready and rigged, some brightly skirted plugs, and your favorite teaser.
