Shimano Teramar WC inshore 7' 4" casting rod with trigger handle, 12-25# MH line class...mount a Daiwa Luna 253 or Shimano Calcutta 200 on it if you can. (use this for calicos) Shimano Teramar WC inshore 8' jig / bait rod, 15-30# MH line class...mount a Daiwa Sealine 20 or 30 on this stick. (use it for bait and species up to smaller yellows) Shimano Teramar WC inshore 9' jig / bait rod, 25-40# H line class...mount a Daiwa Sealine 40 on it. (use it for throwing iron at larger yellows and the like) I tend to like to fish my tackle on the lighter side and finesse em'...you could step up each setup one line class if you're a guy that likes to horse out your catch. http://fish.shimano.com/publish/cont...s/inshore.html http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=11 http://www.daiwa.com/reel/detail.aspx?id=190 |

Thanks for the feedback guys. I appreciate it. I had already looked at the Diawa Sealines so I am probably going to head that route. What gear ratio do you guys prefer and is there any downside to going with larger reel for more line capacity?

How much line capacity do you think you need fishing from a kayak? 200 yds is plenty.

Sealines or, if you're more comfortable with coffee grinders, the Penn Battle. Great reels for sure. For the Sealines, any ol' bargain bin Sabre at Big 5 will do the trick (matched up of course).

I have used sealines for years and was stilling killing fish on one of the original blue and black SL 30s until it was stollen a few years go. Good value and can often be found used. I have gotten away from higher gear ratio reels. How much speed do you need for most of our fishing? Even with yo-yo I'd rather just turn the handle faster and have the cranking power when I need it. I think they offer the sealine 40 and 50 in a 4.9 and a 6.1. The 20 and 30 are 6.1. And like broke loser said, you don't need huge line capacity for our local kayak fishing. You add in using brid and even a smaller reel will give you plenty of capacity. Mike

It's nice that reel manufacturers are making better performing drag systems. That was the main reason I use larger reels, not so much about capacity, just getting the fish stopped.

200 yards?
That's wild. I've been fishing south Florida on the east coast and we all run 300 plus. Are the fish there that different? A decent wahoo will take 150 yards in 15-20 seconds. Guys get spooled all the time. I'm moving to San Diego today (in flight wifi). I'll be lurking the forums for this kind of info.
