Hi Everyone, new to kayak fishing and im not sure if the gear i already have is suitable for fishing off a kayak, or if it could be mixed and matched to be fitted for my yak. dont have all the specs for my rods yet but the reels i have to work with are a penn 500 jigmaster, abu garcia revo toro, curado 200g7, penn pursuit(discontinued baitcaster). will be fishing artificial dominantly untill i find a way to convert one of my strage units to a bait tank. im also curious if the yak i have is ok for the la jolla kelp beds. i have a perception sport caster 12.5 angler. i think its been fine for me in san diego bay as well as mission bay but dont want to be overwhelmed my first time to the kelp beds. any and all help is appreciated. tight lines! -Jesse Hernandez
