Should I do anything with this? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

BrokeLoser · 03-02-2011, 06:17 PM

I bought a few used (pretty much new) rods from a guy today. One he included is a 7 foot 12-30lb light / medium action Ugly Stik Tiger thats pretty much the newest of the three.
Should I use it for anything?
I usually fish a lot heavier than that.

Yeah, this thing still has the plastic wrapper and price tag on it. It was bought at Sports Chalet, I wonder if I could take in there and exchange it for a 15-40 or 20-50 Ugly Stik with no receipt?

Don't be too eager to "BEEF UP" for the BIG fish. That kind of a stick has many uses and may make some fishing more exciting. You ain't gonna be thumpin 40lb YT all year long, or maybe you will.

Yeah, but I actually could use a 7 foot 'lighter' rod just not so sure about the 12-30 light action...hmm...it would make small calico's a lot of fun

well it depends on if you have a fav rod yet, or if you need a certain set up, but the credit would #1 be fun, #2 get what you need, if you don't need the rod IMO...
