The perfect kayak rod combo! St. Croix Mojo Yak 7’ 3/8-3/4 oz Med-Hvy paired with a Daiwa BG MQ 2500 may just be the most versatile kayak rod setup on the market. Whether you’re fishing freshwater or saltwater this rod can handle just about anything. Since most freshwater largemouth bass lures are approx 3/8 oz and up you’ll have no trouble throwing chatter baits, frogs, senkos, small to medium size swim baits etc. As far as saltwater, this is a great setup for bucktailing fluke, trolling SP minnows for stripers and blues or jigging blackfish. The short butt section allows you room to paddle or pedal your kayak and also doesn’t interfere with your PFD when fighting fish. I personally have this exact rod combo and it’s one of my most versatile setups. I absolutely love the Daiwa BG MQ 2500 on this rod, it’s tough enough to handle just about anything and small enough to not be in the way when fishing from kayak. Check out my YouTube channel, there’s some videos where I’m using this same exact setup! St. Croix Rods Daiwa
