ThrowinPlugs Posted September 27, 2020 Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 What do yall like for a tog rod from a kayak? I feel like so many jigging rods have huggggeee butt sections, and are uncomfortable to use in a tight space like a yak. I'd like to spend around $100-150...

Are you dropping lead in current? Or using light single jigs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrowinPlugs Posted September 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 Single light jigs by bridge pilings or over wrecks 40-50ft deep. Prefer spinning, but open to conv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamN Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 I've always used my 7'6 tidemaster Think it's only rated to 3/4 but it has no problem bouncing a 2 ounce jig all day long I like the length to be able to get the line around the tip of back of the yak if the fish goes the wrong way Relatively fast action means you don't need huge hooksets to drive the hook home, I used to use a softer rod but found myself being a bit overzealous with my hooksets Enough backbone to quickly get the big girls up out of the rocks but a light enough rod even shorts are good fun Chunks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamN Posted September 28, 2020 Report Share Posted September 28, 2020 All of that being said, my last trip with it I managed to slam it in the car door when rushing to pack up So after 6+ years of heavy service I may be upgrading to an avid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odiemike86 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 St. Croix Triumph is my go to. I have landed large tog, 25lb flathead catfish and sheepshead close to 15lbs with zero issue. I'm upgrading to the tidemaster 7'MM 1/4 - 5/8 which is very similar to my triumph. I fish anywhere from 10-50' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThrowinPlugs Posted October 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thanks for the input. Ended up buying the Nexus Spinning 1-4 and Slimwave 3/4-4. Both are working awesome. Even took a couple 10ish lb bluefish the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
