I Caught BIG Smallmouth on a $20 Kids Fishing Pole | Willamette River Kayak Fishing

Can a Dock Demon really handle hard-fighting Willamette River smallmouth bass? I decided to find out from my Hobie Pro Angler 12.
Most anglers think of the Dock Demon as a kid’s rod or dock fishing setup, but I wanted to see just how capable this little rod really is. From the kayak, every fish feels bigger, and the Dock Demon made every fight a blast.
If you enjoy kayak fishing, experimenting with budget gear, or chasing river smallmouth, this one’s for you.
