Advice on what rod to get. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

GLoomis Pro Blue 20-40 would be a good choice for that reel, but it is pricey. For Gonzaga, you are going to want to fish a heavier rod, or risk losing some serious tackle and trophy fish. Match it to a rod that can handle the 27#s of drag it is capable of.

I think they're less at Charkbait in HB, $99. I didn't check to see if they had spinning model, but I was checking out the conventional model at their shop, and am seriously considering that rod next for a vertical jigging rod. Light weight, but stiff enough for jigging with heavy duty guides, and made with glass too for strength. I dig it.
