Baidarka Kayak Rod
Description Baidarka Kayak Rod Kayak fishing is the next big thing to hit Australia since the soft plastic revelation and everything from bream to marlin has been caught from a Kayak. The thought of being towed around by a large powerful fish is becoming a reality for a lot of fisherman. Fishing from a kayak creates a number of issues not normally considered whilst fishing from a boat or pier; the worst few being clearance if a fish decides to bolt to the front of your yak – a nice long blank from 7 to 8 foot is usually required to overcome this. What happens if a large boat creates havoc by throwing a treacherous wake in your direction or you capsize – you drop your expensive rod & reel in the drink never to be seen again? Having researched this, Okuma has developed several features that make the Baidarka rod unique. The rods are of kayak specific lengths designed for stowage inside of kayaks as well as providing the reach anglers so often desire. All guides are Pac Bay stainless steel, protective coated Tich guides to help reduce the corrosion that comes with being so close to salt water. On the butt of the rod there is a lanyard clip to keep the rod attached to the kayak, and lastly Okuma has developed the ‘BRD’ Buoyant Rod Design – the rod floats... even with a large overhead reel attached! The blank is a result of Okuma’s “Cross Fusion Blank Technology” which increases the hoop strength therefore improving overall strength. The rods feature specific actions that shut down quickly for improved hook setting & easier “sea level fishability” that kayak fishing requires. The grip configuration is substantially different to conventional fishing methods; the rear grip is shortened effectively keeping the rod close to you in the confined space of a kayak allowing better control, the fore grip is formed of an extended EVA with a recessed channel line to relieve back strain and increase floatation without increasing line friction and chafing. The range consists of seven rods which have been divided into two 7ft 6in spinning rods, four overhead 7ft 6in rods and one 7ft overhead rod. All rods are of one piece construction and have line ratings ranging from 4-7kg to 7-15kg. Product Range Baidarka Kayak Rod
