Cool man, I don't have conventional small enough for local waters. In my haste and excitement of ocean kayak fishing I purchased big gear because clearly I was going to be pulling in big fish left and right
I want to get a baitcaster as well for tossing at fresh and salt water bass. At la jolla this weekend I had just taken apart and gone through my reels and I was tossing a sala 7x about 40 yrds with no birds nest! however... I'm sure having an 8oz lure makes it a little easier
