Shimano waxwing question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

They're legit. I have caught fish on the Sandeel, Bone, Sardine, Live Squid, Mackerel & Mint colors. The Live Squid color is my go-to bait. You have to fish it on a fast retrieve reel, something with 32" + per crank. I fish mine on straight braid. I have caught Calico, Corvina, Cuda, Bonies, even had a Halibut come up and chase one in the Big Bay. Still no Yellow on one for me yet. I'm no Shimano loyalist...but these things slay.

Spotties, calico, yellows, dorado, bonita, cuda, stripers, leopard grouper, etc. They all eat it. They can take a ton of abuse. I have a lucky one I've been fishing for almost 2 years that's caught dozens of fish. They cast a mile too.
