Welcome aboard, Billy! ??Hearty congrats, man! Nice catch!NiiiiiiceHobbies beside fishing? Well, since Covid, I've not participated much in anything, including fishing, truth be told. Still working at Lowe's after losing my cushy internet job. But hobbies I have include mountain biking, playing guitar, working on my 99 Tacoma, other vehicles. Learning how to flux core weld. Yearning for another Milwaukee tool to add to my collection, but $$ is in short supply in every regard. Wife wants me to turn my attention to the house exterior, but I'm feeling overwhelmed, esp. with cost of lumber on the rise.Welcome aboard! ??Welcome aboard! ??Welcome aboard, Kyle! ??Rod actions and lengths are dependent on what you want to do. All-purpose? Above mentions are all-around. 6'6" MH is probably most common, with 7 footers thrown in over the past many years as "standard". I personally do not like rods longer than 6'6" for bass, I'll go longer for saltwater, though. To each his/her own. I've not used Abu, but one of my sons bought a Lews combo at Dick's Sporting Goods, and he's enjoyed it thoroughly. It's an all-around combo mentioned above. Baitcasting, that is.Really nice! Enjoy it! Are you a DIYer? Could make a nice cart for under $30. Or you could buy one here. These are pretty amazing http://paddlelogic.com/trailtreker-kayak-carts.htmlWelcome aboard! ??So I did it on two BPS Carbonlite rods (White). I had to use heat to loosen the butt cap, though that was a pain. I was able to re-install the cap (glued on). I'll have to take a pic. The balance does change a tad, though not to a point it bothered me at all. Definitely nicer to not always catch my life vest on casts while yak fishing. Regarding balance, I'm using light reels, Stradic 1000 size. The action went from ML to MML, if that makes sense. I don't think it is 100% Medium with the 3 lopped off, hence Medium Med Lite description. I love the action with Ned rigs, drop shots, wacky, etc.I've had tips replaced by rod builders, myself. Rod action definitely changes. I've shortened rods on purpose, like my 6' Premier ML. I took 3" off and it is perfect to my liking. Other rod shortening I've done is removing 3" off the butt end. Keeps the rod action.Welcome aboard, Nathan! ??
