We all used to carry around a baby food jar for cig butts. Now it only holds cut-offs. Don't ask what the pickle jar is for.

Yes.

Why not straight braid? 50# works for me.

Not many fishing kayaks are over 16'.

Inland waters are generally policed by sheriff boats. Talk to them about boating rules and safety.

USCG state the law clearly. Just a white light. You wouldn't want to mistaken for a larger power boat. Nav lights are not only illegal, they are a bad idea in my opinion.

Talk to @wnybassman Noel makes the good stuff.

I haven't used 65 lb. braid in years. 50 lb. Gets the job done for me.

I do the same. It must be a floating worm. Technically, it's a "shaky head" but that's what gets you the quivering tail. Not real complicated.

Mostly no leader.

I will be looking them up

Wargasm might be the greatest band name ever.

Chinchilla!

I started with jika rigs and then made my own 1 oz. Jika punch rigs. I have no use for a Tokyo rig. Seems like a fussy copy that does the same thing with way more expensive parts.

I destroyed myself for three days on an upper body fiasco. Went back yesterday and it felt so good to dial it back just 5 lbs on all the machines. No pain no gain I guess.

I have a Python Popmax that has caught more fish than almost all other lures in the past few years.

That's the deal right there: can you tie it in the boat. I can barely get a good FG 60% of the time on my couch. a knot you tie well on the water is way better than the "best" knot.

Hopkins Shorty is a go to up here.

They got off the bank when most didn't. I say congrats on figuring something out, even if it seems wrong.

That red thing on the back is the gas tank for the boat, @Fishing_Rod.

I knew a guy that car topped two 17' kayaks on a Miata.

I've had uni to uni connections fail. I've used a triple surgeon's knot with great results linking 8# leader to 10-15# braid. It's a very simple knot that holds well. Learned it when fly fishing.

Meh, this why I only ever did team formats.
