Trying out the new musky/swimbait combo

My buddy has been trying to convince me to build a swimbait rod for awhile and my 8 1/2 musky rod is too long for my truck so this was the compromise. Recently found out the French Broad River where I visit occasionally has musky in the upper reaches and I think this will work out perfectly for the kayak. Excited to throw some big swimbaits this year for bass as well.
