need help with a freshwater lmb spinning rod for kayak


Recommended Posts

I have found a very good deal on a high end spinning rod i would intend to use for spotted bass and largemouth bass in a lake from my 10' kayak..

 

My question, is a 7'3" rod too long for this.. i'm new to kayak fishing.....  i already have a 6'6" spinning rod a 7' baitcast and a 6'8 baitcast.    

 

I would use the new 7'3" rod for shakeyheads...  weightless worms...  and flukes on light jigheads.

If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day. But, if you teach a man to fish, he will spend all his money on fishing tackle and won't be able to afford to eat!

Extra fast rods are one dimensional. If you are getting out with a limited number of rods, it is nice for them to do  multiple jobs. Just sayin'. 

interesting point.  how'd you get so smart?

I'd say it's perfect for those techniques!

I don't work a lot. 

 

Here's my take: you have room for three rods. You want them to serve as many purposes as possible. I would have a light fast rod for shakeys and small cranks/spinners, etc, a middle power, mod fast rod for cranks and topwater and a flippin stik style rod for spinnerbaits, larger cranks and carolona rigging. With that spread I should be able to fish anything from 1/16- 1 3/8 ounces fairly well. 

I have become too old to drink bourbon on the rocks. I will still drink it in the parking lot.

Ended up going with a Denali Fission 6'10" medium action.  Found a great deal on a new one.  Stay tuned for a review
