I use my Hobie in Ohio. In MD if I'm kayak fishing I'm using a cheap lifetime Triton to get into the backwaters for snakehead but I'm mostly on a boat in the Bay targeting Stripers.

Great lookin Yak is that a PA? Mine is a 2018 Hobie Outback, picked it up a few weeks ago. Awesome way to fish. After over 50 years of boat fishing it has changed my perspective and energize my excitement for lake fishing.

I looked at the Mojo Yak series when I was shopping for a St Croix. They are a bit more expensive which I assume is due to the limited market for them.

Mine is the 5'6" sp what is the significance?

What are the applications for a medium light or medium 6" baitcast rods? I have both.The ML I bought years ago to use on a float tube down a narrow river for Smallies. I wanted something short to keep the poles out of the trees. The Medium I picked up for jigging Stripers in the Chesapeake but I'm curious if it has any application for bass fishing. I'm selling my bass boat to strictly bass fish from a Hobie Kayak and I'm trying to choose a three rod setup.

No I mainly use baitcasters actually I prefer them for the accuracy. I should have said cranking rod not casting rod. I asked the question to determine if I should add a moderate action high-end cranking rod to my arsenal for my treble hook lures. But that brings up another question would you prefer a baitcaster or spinning rod for a cranking rod?

I understand why we use high-quality fast-action rod for most presentations, jig, finese, Texas rig, spinnerbait, etc. For the sensitivity. I don't understand why we need anything more than an ugly stick for a casting rod? Can someone explain the advantage of a high quality rod for a casting rod?

My thumb bar stiks 3/4 of the way down when depressed requiring me to press it again to engage the return pawl? Could this be due to a weak return pawl spring?
