Sabiki rods - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Dedicated sabiki rod is worth its weight in gold and I take it with me every time. Pays for itself ($50-60) in a short time in both bait & making sabiki tackle last longer. Disadvantage is its not flexible enough for good squid catching and if you get the shorter rod you have to cut a ft or so off of your sabiki leader so it will fit inside. Still its worth it for making fin bait, saving time, and keeping those hooks safely tucked away.

ended up getting one and its decent just a pain to reel in the the hooks that get caught on the top.
