Need suggestions for YT/WSB setup
 

Hey y'all... novice yakfisher needing expert advices!!!!

Looking to target YT & WSB @ LJ, my budget is around $200 for a good pole/reel combination. Can you guys suggest/share what has worked well?

if you think these are 2 different setup's, feel free to suggest both...

:notworthy:

theres a million different setups that have worked for people in the past. something thatll hold a quality kelp cutter setup oughta do.

ive caught yellows with a shite rod from big 5 and a 70's penn jigmaster



shop around, talk to guys at LOCAL fishing shops, collect info, bend some rods, crank some reels and feel what best fits YOU

You should check this out on for sale section. Call or text him. Sound like what you are looking for. http://www.bigwatersedge.com/bwevb/s...ad.php?t=21438

Well if you want specifics I was recommended by someone who has probably caught hundreds of YT and WSB
Daiwa Saltist 40H
Seeker 20(30)50 rod
If you look around you could put one together for $200 used in good condition.

Seeker stealth, 20-30lb range, and a Sealine 20 or something like a used Avet, or Penn Fathom. You can easily do a good setup for under $200 if you buy used. You could even find a used Seeker Black Steel for $125 and throw a $75 reel on it and be solid.

Don't forget you'll need to put $30-40 worth of line on it if you go with quality braid. Mono will be much cheaper.

Where do you live?

San Diego :D

I would go down to squidco and tell them how much you have to spend and what you are targeting. Let them know you will be fishing out of a yak ( i'm assuming) and they will set you up with the best you can afford. They know their stuff and won't rip you off.
