What a day!!! Citation #41 lifetime and a stringer of some really nice slabs. Lots of 13" class fish. Nothing under 11. The biggun got released back to swim another day. Been itching to get back into my kayak

I have a Phenix Mirage that did not get much use, especially after acquiring a few JDM rods and blanks. The issue was exceptionally slow blank recovery while casting. Also, while fishing out of a kayak the tip would immerse into the water if
