That kayak is going to be a gamechanger at $550. Modeled off of the 128T (flat, wide deck), you should have no problem standing up. At the moment (until this kayak releases), you were at $700 minimum to stand up, with the Native Ultimate 12. I have heard of the 128T having leaky hatches, so if you get it, just toughen up the seals on the lids and you should be good to go. I fish from a WS Commander 120, and aside from being able to stand and fish, just knowing you can even get up and stretch your legs comfortably makes it worth it.

Thanks for the comments guys, they are highly appreciated. I am looking to bump the All-Star out completely for an upgraded rod. I think I will run another 6'6 dedicated blade bait rod (in place of the all-star) with 15+/- mono (spinnerbait/buzzbait). My 4th rod will be the dedicated plastics rod as you stated. I am loving the Kistler rods, so I might continue with them, but also looking at other options (dobyns, denali, etc) For the dedicated plastics rod, would you recommend running fluorocarbon line? As you see, I use it as leaders on top of my braid, but have never run a full spool of fluoro. I really like the copoly, and would like to stick with it I wont see a huge gain in performance with the fluoro vs copoly.

Good morning, BassResource! New guy here from NW Louisiana and exclusive kayak fisherman. Due to fishing from a kayak, I am limiting myself to 4 rods in the boat, but would also like to cover most bases. I fish smaller water, mainly throwing hollow body frogs, weightless soft plastics (senko, craw, etc), 1/4oz and 3/8oz spinnerbaits, swimbaits (grass pig, Keitech swing impact fat), along with the occasional jig, crank and lipless crank. My arsenal as of now includes: 7'3 H/XF Kistler Magnesium - 50# PP + 20# Fluoro leader This is a dedicated frog rod in the summer, with jig usage in the colder months. 6'6 MH/F All-Star - 15# P-Line Fluoroclear Co-Poly (Figured I would use a "middle of the road" line since I am limited at the moment. This is used for 3/8oz spinnerbaits, traps, cranks, T-Rigged plastics - All around general use rod. 6'10 M/XF Kistler Spinning Carbonsteel - 15# PP + 12# Fluoro leader. This is a new rod in the lineup - If I could get myself to learn to like fishing soft plastics (mainly senko) from it, I think I would be in great shape. I havent "dedicated" a use for it besides throwing light baits. -------- Where do I stand? Do I need a dedicated spinnerbait rod with mono? A dedicated senko rod with fluoro? I rarely crank, so I am reluctant to specify a rod for it. I am looking to add 1 more to the arsenal. Any comments are appreciated, just trying to minimize my cut/re-tying time while maximizing my actual effectiveness with each rod.
