Fishing gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

You'll go through cheaper rods faster, as kayaking takes a toll. Salt water + banging guides if you'll be stashing/storing them on landings.

Matt is on the ball with gear. Avets will do just fine if you take care of them, and take 'em apart and clean them yourself every few... depending how often you fish. You can read a lot that Sealines are great sturdy maintenace free cheap buy, perfect for kayak. Never owned one since I'm a lefty and they only come right handed.

Have safety gear and have fun.

I typically bring 3 rigs (on my FND) #1 an old shimano black magnum 2200 (ive got 3 of these for back-up from E-bay,havnt paid more than $30 for any,and have not had to breakinto the back-ups and an old shimano speedmaster 1652 triggerstick (these are hard to find,1980s vintage)
#2: shimano CALCUTTA 200GTB ON A FENWICK 7 FT TRIGGER STICK (BOTH THE ABOVE RODS RATED 10-25 LB)
#3: newell P226 on a calstar 270-7 deckhand special (I sometimes bolt on my Avet sx,but itsso nice I usually reserve it for stand-up fishing.) There is nothing wrong with an old penn 500 for a dependable 20 rig if your on a budget.
There is not much I cant stop with the above.The frequency of use is in order,I throw lots of plastic. Just my two pesos

Before any recommendation can be made- may I ask:

What species of fish are you targeting?

Will you be fishing open ocean, lagoons, lakes, or what?
