New kayak fisherman
Just bought my first kayak and need suggestions on rod and reel. First one so "all around" as much as possible, say trolling out and then dropping a line for bass or halibut. Could be iron or bait, if that's possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks |

You can use the search feature on the forum to find answers to this question in numerous threads. It really depends on your budget, your preferences etc.
I really like the Daiwa Sealine as an all around reel, paired with any number of rods from a budget big5 rod to the higher end Calstar's/ Seeker's etc. You will got a lot of varied responses here. One thing I can highly recommend is to talk to John (Fishaholic) and check out his gear for sale- top quality stuff in great condition: http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ead.php?t=7377 Great way to get some gear at excellent prices, and some great advice.. |

^buy used and save $.
I am a big fan of the penn 500 as they can be found for dirt cheap and are easy to fix |
