alun j. Posted June 23, 2012 Report Share Posted June 23, 2012 Great rods....but I would think a bit too long on a kayak ! I have both and mostly pair them with a little Avet reel......but have found the lighter 6 - 12 good with a Baitrunner for bass and bream fishing. Alun.

lofty Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I've got a Kenzaki 12/20, which I don't use, not my style. Your's for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Fox Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 (edited) Hi Steve, I have the 6-12lb Kenzaki, as does George. They're light, with sensitive tips, give a decent bend on a smallish fish, and have some power in reserve for something bigger. George's best fish on his was an 11lb bass, and I heaved up a 17lb blonde on mine, so they can take some stick. They're about twice as heavy an action as our light spinning gear which we have used for most stuff. We both have 2oz Ugly Stik spins, which are great for most inshore fishing, and again have a bit of backbone when needed. They've coped with smoothound to 13lb (which should sound familiar) as well as bass and rays to 14lb, tope to nearly 25lb, and one lone conger of 40lb (on Alfresco, not Frisky). As a quick thought - the Ugly Stiks are ok up to 3oz of lead, and the Kenzaki's to about 6oz for our style of fishing. Worth a look, to see what you think? Mike PS I quite fancy the 12-20lb Kenzaki too - having 20-30lb class rods which rarely get used these days Edited June 24, 2012 by Mike Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 If you do get one go for the two piece not the three piece ones (i have both and dont even take three piece one out anymore-its a totaly different rod and no way near as nice) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lofty Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Well I won a new slosh on fleabay, 60 quid, and I'm going to stick it on Chris's kenzaki when I can get my sweaty little hands on it. I'm happy with that. I'm going back to Tanners tomorrow night(Monday) for another crack at the smuts, just past Lymington if anyone else fancies it.
