Tackle Suggestions

If you choose to fly light and use the boat gear the Maximus has the highest quality tackle available. Custom made Super Seeker Rail rods and Accurate ATD 30’s and 50’s loaded with Tuffline solid core braid. Each rod is free to use and comes with a florocarbonleader. Florocarbon leader is not included. Maximus carries and has for sale all the nesessary terminal tackle at dockside pricing. Most anglers find its far easier’ and affordable to buy “what they need” onboard. Most anglers spend $80-$130 dollars per trip on terminal gear. If you’re going to bring gear down most find everything they need fits into a gallon ziplock bag. Remember to pack light.
