As mentioned above Dave from reel seat is the guy you want to talk to about tile fishing. If you are looking to get a nice set up I have custom rod and Gallicans 2 speed with custom handle that would be the cats meow
Killer set up at discounted price as all money I raise goes to help elderly neighbor of mine. If you are in the Cranford nj area give me a ring
Even though I am in tog mode right now would be happy to talk tiles

Dave at the Reel Seat has offered beginner 1-day trips on the Voyager for the past couple of years. They are usually around June and August. He even holds a good seminar right before these trips to answer all questions. Give the shop a call to see what is planned for this season. The Voyager should be posting the Tile trip dates soon. Good luck!

Tiles seem to be one of the few species that the feds pretty much leave alone. Any ideas why or should we just not talk about it?

Hey Togman,

Lots of good advice here. As for time of year May- September are usually best as the weather is nice, days are long and there usually are no spiney dogfish in the deep. I like a single speed reel with a ratio around 4:1 that holds 500+ yards of 65# solid. Hollow core has way more drag in the water which will make you use more weight to effectively hold bottom, or you will have to keep letting line out. If you build your own rods I have a bunch of different blanks you can pull on to see what you like. I can also set you up with components for your build.

In my opinion, Talica 16II is a great reel but not for tilefishing. High gear is too high and low gear is too low. This opinion was formed from my personal experiences with the reel for two plus seasons. I fish with and recommend: Ocean Max 10, Accurate Extreme Boss 600N (4:1), and Jigging Master PE 6 and 8.
