I need new gear - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

MWC359 · 03-13-2012, 09:28 PM

Hello everyone,
Now that I have my PA I need to buy some salt water gear.The only salt water rig I have is a Kencor 5'10" 10-40 model 707 with a older Penn Jig Master. What is this rod orginally designed for and what would be a good secondary rod and real to buy. Ill mainly be fishing out of Dana Point or Newport.

The more I read the threads the less I realize I know about fishing. Any help would be much apprieciated

MWC359 · 03-13-2012, 10:16 PM

I'd add a Shimano Cardiff 300 matched to a Teramar TMCX76H. Load it with 40-50lb spectra and put like 10-20 yards of 20lb mono for a topshot. Use that for bass and butts. I'll let somebody else chime in for a heavier setup.

Doesn't hurt to upgrade the drags either, I wore out the stock ones, put carbontex in and my 200 is a lil workhorse!

If your willing to spend a little bit of money, look into getting an Okuhma Cedros 273 Cj. It's the size of a small bass reel, but holds as much line as my Curado 300E. I use it in the bay for bass and butts and also use it in up to 225' of water for rockfish with still plenty enough line just in case I hook into something big. I have mine spooled with 15 spectra and a 10yd of 30lb flurocarbon top shot. This little reel is stronger than both my Toriums. As far as rod goes, there are many out there. I make my own rods...

You should also look into getting a Diawa Saltis or a Shimano Torium to add to your arsenal. Both are good reels and would go perfect on a super seeker or even a tarimar jig stick.

Okuma makes the Serrano less money than the Cedros main differance is the gearing at 6.2 to 1 rather than 7.3 to 1. I've used the Serrano for a year now and it outpreformed my Curados by a long way. For fishing bass I stick to straight mono only using braid in real tough structure. To start with look at the Shimano Calarus rods rods and reels add up quick.

For heavier I still use my Daiwa SLD 20 and a Shimano TLD 15 loaded with braid and fluorocarbon top shot rods are tougher depending on what I am fishing for.

WOOOOOORD

I have a Shimano Cardiff 400A on a Teramar.........that's my favorite setup.

Its like asking what your favorite flavor of ice cream is.

Assuming you are not filthy rich...

Get a couple of Daiwa SeaLines. Very durable, and the price is great! Many, many guys on here have at least one.

Wow, thanks for all the replys...... any tips on where to buy
