A friend gave me a Penn Bluewater Carnage jigging rod 6'6" MH action I am going to put a Torium 16 I have on there and give it a go. Anyone know anything about these rods?  Pretty sure its a new version of the Penn Torque series.  Keep in mind this setup will be used mostly for inshore BFT around the mudhole mostly

 I've heard, read good things about those rods.

 sound to me like your ready togo.

 Bucktail bob might chime in and give you advice about upgrading the drag for the torium 16, I believe he has the same reel, and lost one due to stock drag too! Not sure of the whole story, best to let him chime in.

I haven't used the Carnage jigger, but I've played with it a few times.  It seems like a good stick.  I like the foregrip on it.

It wasn't my Torium, but my Trinidad that the drag locked up on me.  I am a little sour on those Dartanium drags, but the truth is they should be fine (at least in the beginning).  They tend to get sticky after a while.  I think I just got a bad set from the get go.  (It happens).

If you do want to upgrade to Carbontex washers, contact Dawn at SMOoOTH DRAG and she can help you out with that.

Another upgrade I did to my Torium was to beef up the anti-reverse.  But, again, you should be fine with the stock reel (at least for the smaller tuna that we have been catching off of NJ).

Put some 65 lb. braid on it and go get 'em!  Good luck!  Let us know how you do.
