Abu record

Thinking to get one one this season for live bait fishing. My question what rod would be my best choice. I was thinking a 7 ft 15-30 class rod? Any recomonmdations would be great

Where and how did you plan on fishing it?

Live bait sharp hooks and timing is all you need

My go to live liner is a re-purposed kayak T&W rod that was built by Don M at King Cove Outfitters. It is a 6'6" glass rod with moderate action. Soft enough to feel the livey, strong enough to cast them and pull a fish out of the rocks, which was the need on a kayak. I believe Don said it was a musky blank but never got a model number. He said graphite would be too stiff, so Eglass or a composite. Short butt per the kayak design. This rod has transferred nicely from its original purpose to livelining.

I am considering doing a similar rod with an acid wrap. Just have to find the blank....

You will love the Record.... I have two, but they're lefties.

If your looking for something custom cms makes a yo yo rod that a couple of my charter buddies use they have a real soft top half that allows the fish to eat the live bait without feeling any resistance or take a look at the shimano terez which can be used as more of an all around rod also....either way you can't go wrong
