When the color is fading after a year or so, or even sooner if you need to, tie the braid off on a tree or something an walk off to the end on the spool. Cut that off, walk back to the first spot and tie that on your spool now, then reel in the rest. You'll have "fresh" braid that you haven't used now.

LOL. So many places we could go with "Manley Rods" but shouldn't.

Pretty cool idea, priced about right, I suppose. Only issue for me is nothing shorter than 6'9".

Not sure where you can find them, but I have the #8 gammy circles and used them all the time for panfishing with long poles (no reel). My only beef with them is they are too easy to gut hook when fishing under a float. Even though they're circle, I the offset makes it easier to gut hook than an inline would. At least that's my sense, but haven't used an inline that small. I've used inline Nautilus circle hooks for catfishing, but not down to a #8. Don't know who makes an inline that small.

I've seen either these, or another brand that does something similar. But yeah, fun for vacations and stuff, probably to the annoyance of other kayakers, LOL. I don't fish waters that allow gas locally, would certainly add them to my list though. That said, I couldn't afford one as it stands. I love my DIY electrified Native Ultimate, though I do want to upgrade from a 30# thrust...

True. But when I've ordered rods/reels and leave them in the cart, by the next day or two I have a "dude, don't leave a good thing behind" discount that makes it worth my while. usually...not for small stuff, though.

I don't do much, if any, fishing purchases on Amazon. Just not worth the effort even tho I have Prime. Should clarify re: effort. Effort on Amazon Prime is as simple as clicking buy. Issue I have is with what I want that is available. I can usually find better deals on ebay or ... gasp ... Bass Pro.

Wow, well she was right around the 11 pound mark then! Congrats again!! Beastly gal you caught.
-
I'll let others chime in on your question as I have zero experience with any of the reels/rods, so I'll just welcome you to the forums!
-
Download and keep that chart handy. It has helped me when I didn't have a scale, but was able to measure the fish.
-
Congrats! 16" is around 2 pounds, I'd wager, unless it was a real fatty. Chart below is a general gauge, not the be-all-end-all. There are other charts out there which differ slightly, but put 16" in the 2+ pound range.

Congrats! Your avatar says your PB is between 10-11 pounds, what was the weight of this lady?
-
I'm inclined to say you can take this finals matchup to the bank . Hard to see it not happening. Tho I will probably be pulling for the Warriors again!

Welcome aboard! 2 year olds are the best! I've got 4 boys, so plenty of experience. Yes, some of that age was terrible "Terrible Twos", but once they get past it, they get better. Until puberty hits.....

WOW, beast of a musky! Congrats to her!

Yes. It can be deadsticked and will work very well because it will undulate with the currents present.
-
Indeed. Likely Cavs v Warriors showdown will be one for the ages.
-
Welcome aboard! I started my sons out with live nightcrawlers, crickets, mealworms, grubs, etc. The joy of watching a kid go crazy when their bobber goes under is awesome. Live bait is best, IMO, in these circumstances given they'll almost always produce a fish. Don't overthink it. Keep it as simple as possible with kids. It'll be easier on you, too

Welcome aboard, Tyler!

Rude fishermen who encroach on my spot while I'm fishing it - and casting just off my kayak. That and wind. Wind can be friendly, except when it isn't. Then wind can make those who do not normally swear, swear like a sailor....
