DIY Garage Craft Sabiki Rod - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Well I use mine form piers, so casting is important, but for kayak use the long rod is not important.

My first reason to buy the rod was so I don't have to take the Sabiki rig off. Just leave it in the rod and separate the upper piece and put it in the car trunk.

Later I realized that it would work great for boat and kayak. It keeps so many dangling hooks in the tube for safety.

Home made or commercially made it is a good investment.

I use braid for main line. The commercial one has smooth sections where the line travels through.
