Gear to fight Yellow tail with? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

October · 08-06-2012, 11:11 AM

Im planning on taking my Sealine X30SHA coupled with a Medium heavy action Ugly Stik tiger (rated to 50lb test) out on the yak to hit the kelp beds with. its spooled with 40lb power pro with a 20lb hybrid (smoke) top shot. Was wondering whats the most effective way of catching YT? I keep reading about surface irons but when I went to go look at some I wasnt sure which type to get. The really heavy ones (taddy) or the lighter more reflective ones (sumo?)

and, if you are to use live bait, whats the best way to rig em? Fly lining? dropper looped?

Thanks in advance
