Rick D. Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I'm curious to see what rod/reel combinations our anglers are carrying in the river or stream watercraft. I normallly carry two spinning or a spinning and flyrod when kayaking or canoeing. I also carry either a pack rod in spinning or fly as backup. On my inflatable catraft I carry a single spinning, or fly rod with an alternate spinning or fly pack rod for backup. In a Jon or shallow-vee boat I carry a casting and spinning rod. I primarily fish via kayak or canoe when using a watercraft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rich mc Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 do you use a shorter or longer rod in kayak fishing? rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonn Graham Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 I usually carry at least three in my canoe.l A 5'9" light casting outfit A 6'3" medium spinning outfit A 6' light action spinning oufit Though I have many, I don't like carrying longer rods on a river float trip. Every so often I will carry a fourth rod and point it out the back of my boat. jonn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Ferguson Posted January 16, 2007 Report Share Posted January 16, 2007 If I'm using my pontoon, 2 rods is what I usually carry, once in a while, depending on the river, I might have 3. In my power boat, I'll usually have 7 to 10. When I'm on vacation with the boat, I might be fishing for smallies, northerns, muskies, walleye or panfish. You have to be prepared.
