Pirating my own thread here. I picked up an avet SX 5.3 and a graftech in shore 8 foot 20-30 lb rod. I was also considering a Californian 8 foot 12-30 try helix rod. After getting it home I think the graftech rod maybe stiffer then I actually want for this combo. I plan for this set up to be my main set up while kayak fishing la Jolla for calico and up with the occasional larger things you can catch there. But I also have and larger set up I will be taking with a 15-40 lb rod and I think I would have been better off with the softer faster action Californian. Any opinions here? I am thinking to go back to Turner's and swap for the Californian.
