Well whatever you call your gear, those are some good solid purchases that I'm sure you will be happy with.

Mike, that explanation really helps! What happened to those 'chovies, though?

That was something I was a bit worried about. The 700H is a fast action and has a really stiff tip and I wasn't sure if I'd be able to cast live bait effectively, but really, I chose the Phenix as more of a casting rod for irons and anything else I may want to throw since I can't drag live bait for very long without getting a little antsy or bored. Your suggestion about picking up a lighter rod for that application sounds good, and I may eventually get that 670 after all.

William, yup, BTB = Beyond the Breakers.

There's another good yak site I enjoyed reading when I was in Texas:

www.texaskayakfisherman.com

If you scroll down, there's a page dedicated to BTB fishing. Those guys mostly fish for reds, sharks, kingfish, and occasionally tarpon but there's definitely a lot of good information about rigging, etx... etx...
