La Jolla Yellows - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

5-20 · 04-04-2015, 01:13 PM

I'm going to add that my first yak rod was a seeker black steel 670 because a lot of guys on this site seem to like that rod and that was what popped up a lot in the searches i did. I just couldn't get over how soft it felt. I had it overnight and took it back to squidco to look around a little bit more. Once i picked up a phenix psw 700h... Oh boy, i was sold. Really hated myself for picking it up because it was a lot more $ than the seeker but that rod's going to do everything you want it to.

I don't think its too bad spending a lot of money on a yak rod especially if it comes with a lifetime warranty. And rods simply dont get torn up as bad as reels do yak fishing, that's for sure.

Phenix psw 700h. Take a look at that rod. It's gonna be perfect for most 1.5 to 3 day tuna trips too.
