long rods

[Hammmerhead]

is the K-rod a BnM rod, do you use braid, and if so, what pound test

K-rod is a Todd Huckabee rod. Its a pretty common rod and has serious backbone. I bet you can find one used someone bought and didn't like the long length.

A couple of my rods have 12-15lb braid, the rest have 6-8lb Fluoro. I only run 1/8th ounce and 1/4 on braid poles. Lighter jigs I just use the poles with Fluoro and/or days with temps well under freezing where the braid wants to freeze up and you're constantly dipping your rod. Its always windy here too, where the braid can give you fits of wrapping around the tip. I got a love/hate with braid and usually only use it if the bite is really fast and short or Im in thick cover probing piles getting snagged now and again.
