Testing Out a New Rod While Catching Tasty Fish (Salt Run in St. Augustine, FL)

5/2/25 My buddy Ace (‪@ontheline3734‬) asked me to test out a new rod he is starting to produce, the CK-5 or Convict Killer 5. This is a 5'3" rod designed for kayak fisherman like myself who love to fish under docks and bridges. Weather looked decent and I wanted to go for some sheepshead, which should be on their way out of the inter-coastal. So I settled on Salt Run in St. Augustine. On the way I stopped by St. Augustine Paddle Sports to pick up some fiddlers. Then I hit my launch. I think I put it to the test! This rod will be available for purchase soon.
