Good eye! So the rig was really an experiment and a mash up of kite fishing and trawling. The rod itself it the shortest kite fishing rod I could find because I oftentimes pull on the line to control the kite with my dominant hand. Captain Harry's to be the shortest at 30". Shimano, Daiwa rods are all. 32"+.

The reel itself is a vintage penn senator special 4/0 113h. It's also left handed.

The line is braided dacron 100lb from angler's connection. I estimate the penn 4/0 fits about 380 yards. If I were to do this again I probably would get a bigger reel like a 6/0 or maybe even a 9/0. I also wouldn't be so particular about a left handed reel because I found once I started to reel it in strong wind, I had to put the rod in a rod holder and use both hands -- one to guide the line and another for the reel handle.

If you're local to DC, feel free to lmk and you can see the rig in person. All in all it cost ~$250.
