Kayak fishing rods

My kakay fishing rods arrived today as promised from Richie! after I posted here about my new rods

This fella is a great ebay seller and I would recommend him to anyone! Here is a link to his fishing rods.

Anyway the first kayak fishing rod is a SHIMANO solara 6 ft baitcasting rod,

• Model Number SLC-60M2

• 7 Aluminium oxide lined rings

• Durable Aeroglass construction rod blank

• Graphite reel seat

• Comfortable cork handles

• Convenient hook keeper ( Base of top handle )

• Trigger grip

• Line weight 6-15lb

• Lure weight 1/4 - 3/4oz

• Power Medium

• Fast Action

• Gold/brown blank

• Black whippings with gold accents

I will use this for bottom fishing and lure work.
And the other kayak fishng rod is a FIN-NOR 6 foot Graphite Spinning rod
High Grade Portuguese Cork Grips

• Made by FIN-NOR, a high quality and respected brand in America

• 7 fully lined rings

• All rings ( except tip ring ) have 2 legs on the same side

• so as to not hamper the action of the rod

• Suitable for either fixed spool reels or the smaller multiplier reels

• Casting weights Approx 1/8 oz to 3/8 oz

• Ideal lines for this rod are 6 - 12 lbs

• Two piece cork handle

• 2 piece design so easily hidden in your car!

• Medium action but with plenty of lower down strength for the bigger fish

I will use this for lure / plugging.
I have sat in the Kayak and had a dry run (how sad), both rods are very fine in construction, with low down grunt. I just cannot wait to catch a fish on them. 3 lb bass will be top sprt, let alone when I hook a big one.

EDIT - 17/08/07 - I have been using the bait casting rod regulary now and i am delighted with the way it handles fish and lures (it casts a dexter wedge really well), its a really great rod and I cannot recommend it enough.
