A stickbait rod that has a fold away tip made for kingfish like the BLC range from Carpenter would make not only fishing stickbaits easier but also landing / unhooking fish.  The OTI does swim stickbaits well ( only watched it swimming Falcons ) but I don't think it would fold away so well for a kingfish under the boat / ski/ yak , I think AP or someone with experience of fighting / landing fish on this rod would know better , I haven't seen one with a fish on. Don't know anything about the Caranx , but do think the OTI swims baits well.]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2011 13:14:42 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68834&PID=982493&title=stickbait-rod-help#982493 <![CDATA[Stickbait rod help : I recommend you buy a true stickbait...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=68834&PID=982458&title=stickbait-rod-help#982458 Author: TitusCanby

I recommend you buy a true stickbait and not a popper rod.  There’s a big difference between the two types of rod in the tip in particular and the softer stickbait tip allows the stickbait to swim as it is designed to do.  A popper rod will cast further but be too stiff to swim the lure properly.  Also, you may find a stickbait rod a little easier on you in a kayak.  I'm lucky enough to have a Carpenter Blue Chaser which is fantastic for this stickbait top-water fishing and I fish off a jet ski so balance in the water is important for me too. 

If a Carpenter BLC is too expensive, consider a Caranx Kaibutsu L PE 4-6 Rod stickbait rod.

 

Best of all, first speak to Tony or John at Yeehaa Fishing in Panmure.  They’ll be helpful in giving you the options to choose from.  Cheers.

Hey guys and girls, I was just wondering if someone could point me towards a good stickbait rod to match with a Shimano Stradic 8000 reel. Yes I realise that this isn't the perfect reel for the job but its to be used off a kayak and wanted something a bit smaller and less expensive than a stella.
 
Any help and ideas would be awesome.
 
Tim.
