In that really shallow water up in those spots, I'm wondering if you wouldn't need a longer pole.

I’ll let him give the info,but it’s a thing of beauty to watch. Lol

Casting is a 7' Light Action Rod, 4 or 6 pound test line and a Zebco Omega Pro in "Zo2Pro".

Thanks for the info! That's what I was envisioning, but wasn't positive. I used to take a 10' pole with me in the kayak, but stopped because I wasn't using it much and it's a bit of a pain and in the way sometimes. But, I can see how it would be a plus back in those shallow holes.
