Thinking about picking up an Avet MXL 5.8 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Carp · 07-31-2013, 01:41 PM

I'm pretty new to kayak fishing and was wondering what rod to pair it up with?

I currently have a calstar 870 w/ daiwa seagate 40h

The rod would depended on what line you want to fish. I fish off boats but have two. One i fish 20 pound on a calstar 670L. And one I fish 25 pound on a 800m calstar.

Get the 2 speed
You can pick up a used one send it to avet and for about 30 or 40 $ they will replace all bearings and make it like new again

2 speed for kayak fishing?

Seriously?

One speed with shimano Tallus rod. Rated 65 pound spectra. Perfect combo

1 higher gear is 6 a bit faster
2 low gear always nice to have
3 I'm sure he will go fishing from a boat
I know I will

I have 8 avets only 2 of them are single

So I had a 20% off coupon for big-5 and picked up a blue mxl 6/4 for
231$

oneyedeer · 08-01-2013, 11:45 AM

still on sale? where you get the coupon? i want a sx

Carp · 08-01-2013, 12:23 PM

I downloaded an app called yowza it's a coupon app.

The coupon is good until 6aug

The big5 in el cajon only had the 2spd Sx in blue

Hope this helps!

I ended up getting a stealth 30 for 110$ aswell until I can afford something better.
