Nicepix 5,650 Posted May 30, 2020 Report Share Posted May 30, 2020 Brilliant! Those old Ugly Sticks make cracking kayak rods don't they? No worries about splinters if a big bass decides to head under the boat. I wish that I hadn't sold mine. It would have got some use out here 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It would have got some use out here I dont think there is a better all round boat rod mate, they are 12lb and 15lb class rods. For feathering, drifting, wrecking, anchored up..they do the lot. I usually use live eels on a spinning rod where I was this morning, some half decent bass fishing...only wanted a few mackerel today..had 1 small gurnard as well, too small to take though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Around a mile or so mate, incoming tide so drifting towards shore the whole time, probably done a good 30 minutes paddle once out of the estuary that'll be a mile or so, then drift for 20 minutes and paddle out again...standard shit..lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
