Will I be able to throw smaller irons (3oz) with the setup recommendations mentioned above? What's the minimum and maximum weight irons I can throw with these setups? Do i need to carry five different rods for surface irons or will just using a certain line weight on one rod be enough? i don't know, that's why I ask.

I know the saying, fishing is like golf, you use clubs for certain conditions. I have 14 clubs in my bag, right now I can't afford 14 specialized rod setups.. I know what I want to do when I'm on the water, catch FISH.

At times I want to troll and soak live bait but I'm more of the "busy body" fisherman. I want to be involved, always casting and throwing lures. That's why I saved up and bought a REVO, hands free more fishing.. I want to throw surface irons, jig for bass on boilers, and fish small swimbaits and stuff for the bays, vice versa. I'm assuming I can use my heavier freshwater setups for the bass and bay stuff, but I want a setup that will handle a wider range of weights for surface irons, is that far fetched? So at the moment, I'm utilizing all my freshwater stuff. I want to expand and learn. That's what's so awesome about KAYAK fishing.. You can target specific fish and have the freedom to fish anywhere and anything you really want. You're not on a boat with a dozen guys fighting over 1 spot

, we have FREEDOM.
