I think you go fishing just for the arm workout.

What a haul! quite the variety-pack you got there lol. Thanks for sharing!! Also, would love if you could get some new videos on youtube! You consistently catch such a good variety of quality fish, I'm sure your videos would be quite entertaining! I know I'd watch 'em...
And Happy New Year to you too! ![]() |

How do you like the RCKJB700-112? I was considering building myself one for bull drum and catfish but leaning towards the 606-150.

I also have the RCKJB700-250, 400, and the 500 which was discontinued. These parabolic blanks are easier on the back when putting heavy pressure on a fish, or fighting a fish for a prolonged period of time. At one time I had an RCKJB508-500 which got snapped rather quickly when a fish pulled it over a rod holder creating a stress point. That incident reinforces the need for slightly longer 700 series rods to keep clear of stationery items on the kayak. In general, I find all rainshadow blanks to be slightly underrated in their line capacities. |

For bull red drum from kayak would you recommend the 700-250 over the 700-112?

appreciate the insights. i have a RCKJB 700-112 blank on the way. Actually got a RCLB70L in last week but just think the action is going to be too fast. Even if I cut the RCLB down a bit the fulcrum point is still to far up rod for my tastes. I concur with you on the having the bend point closer to mid rod to make it easier on back and prolonged fight. I do have a RCLB70XL that I like but that one bends down farther due to lighter action. |
