What kind and size Halibut rod do you use. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Greg, Tony, Me....... We all use different types of rods with different types of line with different types of reels with different results, of the three I probably have the cheapest of the rods and reels. Don't be afraid to go lighter on your gear, bigger isn't always better and as you have read julie is a perfect example of this. After realizing What my rods and reels can handle I use them for everything from rock fishing to wsb, yt and of course halibut. Go with What feels good in your hand and not with What everyone else is using.

I am feeling blessed I was able to get a Greg Andrews signature gloomis bbr 964c halibut rod. On Sat I am getting the closest I can find on sale to Tony's halibut rod a calstar gfgr 700xl with a calcutta 400.

Money cant buy you love but if you use craigslist - it can get you some nice used gear at a big discount.
