Rod/Reel Lure Fishing Kayak

[JonoWall]

Hey all!

Currently using the shimano viper combo (sienna 2500) 6'6" in the kayak in the pine river and it seems fine for the small plastics and getting into those tight spots. however after advice I'm wanting to get the Daiwa double clutch 95mm and wanting to know recommendations of a 2nd rod to use for this lure, would need to be 7' and under due to the kayak but obviously strong enough to handle potential mack/tailor/jew 

 

Thanks Team!

personally, i use the shimano Barra raider 6ft 6in with a shimano Sedona 4000, which can get in good size mack tuna and mackerel, but i don't know if it would be suited to the lure your talking about.

Reading up on the different types of raiders, so guess between the snapper or the Barra. Is there a fair bit of action in the tip for casting far in your Barra ? 
It seems like the 5-10kg option would be the best just to have that capability just got to decide between the snapper or Barra option

Is yours also 2 piece,

guess the other option is 7’ 1 piece or

6’6” 2 piece,

what do you think?

I have the two piece barra raider but is also have the snapper raider with a 5000 of the same model, they both cast well. i think the differce is that the barra has a softer tip while the snapper has a stiffer tip.  both could get in a good mac tuna or a big tailor, but a jew might need to be chased down if it is big.

Hi mate, just wondering what you catch in the mine? I'm about to start exploring it soon with my son.
