Shimano Trevala rods?

Trevala rods

the extra heavy action Trevala rod comes with a gimbal butt. I bought the lighter rod when they were first available. It did not have the gimbel so I had the rod repair shop put one on (price very reasonable). Very easy to do yourself if you prefer. Love both rods-can be used for multiple purposes-casting, jigging, bottom fishing. On recent trip to floaters, I only had to take 3 rods-trolling rig for wahoo, chunking rod with 50W and the trevala. Next trip I will use the Trevala for chunking to see if I only need 2 rigs (will take a spare on a trip this long and expensive).
After looking at reels at Islander Custom Tackle, I choose the Trinadad 40 with 65# spectra to use with the Trevala. When jigging I LOVE Shimanos "super stopper" anti-reverse-no annoying back and forth motion of reel spool with each jig of the rod and the drag system on the Trinidad 40 can go to 33 lbs.
