Best Yo-Yo setup? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Mr GreenJeans · 01-01-2009, 09:30 AM

I use a Torium 20 loaded with 65-pound spectra and a 6-8 foot top shot of 40-pound mono, paired with a Calstar 700MH rod.

No need for the swivel.

Good luck and be ready for a workout. But oh that feeling when the rod loads three cranks from the bottom!

I am In the same boat...I have read that some guys use straight 40# mono for yoyo.

I use a Avet LX on a Super Seeker SS-CJBF70H and 150 yrds 40-60lb Izor First String over 80lb spectra backing. This is specifically my yoyo set up, Thats all it does and i does it very well.

I wouldnt mind trading out the Avet for a Newell though as sometimes the leverdrag is a bit of a hassel with jigs.
