What rod?? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Hmm...have to admit I'm confused. I just checked the Accurate website and they don't even list a size 50 DPX2 reel. Did you get it used, and maybe it's a BX2-50 reel? In any event, a 50 sized reel is more of a cow reel for Clarion and the Hurricane Bank, which is a winter/spring trip of 12-15 days. If you are planning to use it this summer on say a 7-day trip it would be more of a trolling reel or maybe a kite reel. For either of those applications, I would suggest a short stout rod like the Calstar 760H, or maybe a rail rod like the 770XXH. Both are basically 100# rods, although they will fish up to 130#. Hope this helps.
