Size recommendations for Daiwa Sealine and Ugly Stik Tiger - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

[QUOTE=CardShark;226763]I only see one 7' Tiger Light (BWCL220070) and its rated Heavy and for 14-40lb test. This was actually the rod I was leaning towards. Is that the rod you're saying is too light for YT?
The model I have is the BWC 2200 7.0, action medium light, 12-30lb. it is beefy enough further down but the 1/3 to the tip is super light and flexes a lot at the slightest weight. It would be fine with yellows below 15lbs but I would not have wanted to try and land a 20+lbs yellow. Also it seems too light for any heavy irons. I would opt for a Medium in 20 to 50lb range BWC220170 or BWCA0220170 Sports Chalet has then for $59.95 on line or $64.95 at the store.

Do you know what the difference between the 2 rods are? The specs look exactly the same

Found it....
Model #BWC220170 has all metal guides.
Model #BWCAO220170 is the same rod with ceramic inserts

What do you guys prefer?

Using 65lb braid and saltwater I prefer the all metal guides.
