Coffee Grinder for YT? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Thanks very much for all the input. A lot of people I respect have chimed in.

Here's a review of the Daiwa Saltist 6000H
http://new.stripersonline.com/forum/...-big-thumbs-up

Here's a link to a spinning rod that might be pretty solid. Look at the TMSX80XH
http://fish.shimano.com/publish/cont..._Spinning.html#

I need to make a decision and it comes down to this for me: have more fun in June and July. Have more fun later. It's not really about the money, which will dissappear anyway one way or another.

I have a nice saltist conventional, that if I put on a good jigstick I will be able to learn to use. By September.

I could pick up the reel and rod above now and have fun over the weekend. (Apparently there are fish out there)

I could also do nothing, which would suck even more than making the wrong choice.

By the way Josh, you told my I'd shoot my eye out when I got the HDS. Just to drive home the point that the gear doesn't make the fisherman good: I still see just fine and the fish I've been targeting are still happily swimming in the ocean or have been eaten by a better angler than I!

Thanks again!

Throwing poppers at breaking yellowfin with a spin reel is so cool. I use a shoulder harness with belt, those reels have mucho power! Spinners can really make those lures dance!! Still not sold completely on use from a kayak however...

TCS Thanks for bringing up this subject I was thinking the same thing I have looked at my spinning combos 15 to 25 lb setups NOT BIG ENOUGH !

Then i looked at BPS and after an hour of looking and touching rods and reels NOTHING seemed right kinda like Josh was eluding to . Not 1 rod seemed to excite me. I will take a look at the Terramar tmsx80xh on Wednesday.

I think with the right rod , reel and ? what do you think of Vermillion Red PowerPro 50 Lb , I also have many Wax wings to Try out TOO.

P.S. i also didnt want to be that GUY with the Coffee Grinder.
