Throwing around the Iron.. recommendations?

[Billy V]

Have you cleaned the spool bearings recently ? The avets don't like the kayak environment.

That combo should throw far.
-------------------------
You could try a saltist 6.4:1 ratio, or a sealine 6:1 both of these reels cast excellent and handle the kayak environment.

Izor XXX is good line, and so is Izor 1st. string. Both of them break way higher than their line rating.
You could drop down to 30 lb. and still land most fish in the ocean.
