JoePW -> Rods and Reels (10/7/2007 11:21:54 AM)

Hey guys, Im looking to buy a new rod and reel that is a bit more pro like, but im not willing to spend to much $. I fish mostly from docks, and im looking to buy a fishing Kayak for next season.I mostly fish for Bluefish and, Stripers. Can anynoe help me out with what rod and reel to go with, and or what Kayak to buy. I fish mostly out of Port Washington. Thank you!

First off before you get in a kayak go to captainkayak.com and get lessons.  As far as kayak you should probably get a pelican but ask your guide.  For reel you should go with a penn slammer 760 with a 20 pound fireline under and a 50lbs braid over.  And as far a rod as your guide about that because im not sure what length you should get.  Hope i helped.  Ask me if  you need anything.

Thanks that was a big help to me. Does the color of the line matter, and how do u spool the braid and mono ratio.



Harbor Hound -> RE: Rods and Reels (10/10/2007 5:36:26 PM)

As far as line stick with green(braid).  When you go get the line normally they can spool it up for you(no charge), if they dont theyll tell you a place that does.  BTW if your serious about kayak fishing GET LESSONS FROM CAPTAIN KAYAK, you will not be able to do it without his help.

The ugly stick is the only way to go!!Walmart great prices you will never buy another stick again.



Harbor Hound -> RE: Rods and Reels (10/13/2007 10:57:17 AM)
