Sorry, I've been offline for a while, but, thanks for the welcome. Because I use a kayak, I try to use very light rod and reel. I mostly use a Walmart combo I order online. It's a 4'8" ultra light action ugly stik that holds 2-6#line. The reel that comes with it is a Shakespeare that has a 5.2:1 gear ratio. I find it easy to cast and I've caught up to 5# bass, 24" catfish and my favorite fish which is crappie. My cooler in my kayak doesn't hold anything much bigger than that. It's not a fishing kayak and I don't have a fish finder so I try to keep everything lightweight so the paddling to find fish is easier. The kayak is a 10ft Perception with an open cockpit.
