On their website they say its only good enough for 25lb test and that's the baitcaster option. Spinning is 12lb. Am I looking at something wrong?

What's the difference between a surf rod and a rod suitable for kayak fishing?

Even the high end seekers will snap if you get too impatient. I broke mine on a lobster pot last year. Any rod is suitable for kayak fishing. It's just depends on what you're going after. Rods break. Rods take a swim. It's all part of the game. Re-gear and get back out there brother!!

I thought lobster season was close? I've seen a few commercial (small) boats with what seemed lobster pots go out and set the cages down in MB, LJ...do they have a special permits or ??

That's better than what we caught in the harbor on Sunday. We paddled out to the AR1 in front of the pier for a couple of sandies and something heavy that broke off...why is it always the heavy's that break off?

We will be checking out AR2 on the 21st if anyone wants to join us out there.
