Those Beacons are great looking rods! Would love to try one. It was explained to me by staff at Seeker that the "power" in those rods is much closer to the seat so that when under heavier loads, the rod flexes closer to the angler's center of gravity so they are not thrown off balance with sudden pulls, etc., making it safer to use on smaller vessels like kayaks. The only reason I did not get the Beacon is that almost all my gear does double duty both on the kayak and the boat and I wanted that extra length for castability from the boat and I just deal with the extra length in the kayak. Still considering adding a Beacon to the quiver in the future though for throwing lighter plastics/swimbaits. Would love to hear more info/reviews on them!
