In my kayak, I often take the sections apart to fix any tip issues, especially in the salt
But, I only take the sections apart, if the rod is strung!
(I've learned my lesson on that issue and the is no reason to go in to that)
Sticking the reel in the water is not a good idea in the salt, so taking the rod apart is it the way I always do it.
Bad experiences tend to accelerate the learning process![]()
