bwingnut,

We've been on a few five day trips, all in August, and we've yet to see a 'hoo boated. We have seen just about everything else, though, including Blue Fin Tuna.

We haven't fished any other but the Red Rooster III on five day trips. It works well for us. So far we see no need to change. But I am sure the others are good, too. I hear the Excel is the bomb.

Load up on 40lb stuff and lots of 2/0, 3/0, & 4/0 hooks. Iron is good for 'tail, but most fishing, especially for tuna, is a 'dines game.

Let us know how it goes. I pray you'll return with memories that will last forever!
