My first Daiwa Reel - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Niiiice.
I picked one up from eBay in December and I love it so far.
Not crazy about it for dropping to the bottom repeatedly on rockfish, as the gears kinda grind if you’re not careful on the clutch. But my torium is good for that, and I can keep it rigged up for casting.

I just got a 300 from Squidco at Fred Hall...

What kind of stick have people matched with it?

I'm waiting until taxes are clear and I'll be getting one for my 8' H Okuma inshore stick. Should handle everything but bottom rigs...

West Marine has some Okuma rods at like 1/2 price in the clearance menu on the web site. I just ordered a 6' jigging rod for about $63 normally it's about $120. The first one arrived from UPS and the Post Office broken in 1/2, so they sent me another and I'll have the broken one for extra parts.
