Newbie looking for Rod and Reel advice - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

As you know from your experience so far, what you like will be your personal preference. There are lots of very successful kayak fishermen that use lots of different equipment. So it sounds like you are on the right track. I personally use Avets as I can rebuild them myself, they are reasonably priced and perform really well. (no pun intended.) For my Rods I have tried many but I personally like the Seeker Black Steel. You already have one but a great rod. I prefer it over my custom G-loomis GLII, Custom Calstar 970, and my Diawa VIP 80j. It is a rod that can serve multiple situations. Cheaper than most comparable rods too.
