I have been looking all over for suitable rods to use for Kayak fishing to target Bass.

I had a look at ebay last night and found two rods that should do the job. They are both short in the butt section so easy to handle on the Kayak and the over all length is also short.

The first is a FIN-NOR GRAPHITE 6FT SPINNING ROD VERY LIGHT LURE, the other is a SHIMANO SOLARA 6FT BAITCASTING ROD TRIGGER GRIP MEDIUM as soon as they arrive I will show you some pictures and let you know the seller’s details as he has more similar rods available and seems a great supplier.

The total cost for theses rods was about £50 including P&P so if things go bad and they get damaged its not the end of the world.

They should be here early next week, watch this space.
