300ej for yellows - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I've landed rat yellows with my old 300EJ with no problem, but honestly if I ran into models 25#+ I would have probably had one hell of a fight on my hand. Keep in mind most bait casters are too small for the typical conventional rod so you would either have to have a custom rod with a little backbone, or you will have to deal with typical bait caster style rods so in the end your back will probably pay the price...just my .02.
