Bed extenders? We don't need no stinkin' bed extenders! I've carried 17' boats in my PU bed without. Through upper Manhattan, right up Broadway, lol. My buddy has a bed extender for his little Toyota Tacoma short bed. Works like a charm, and wasn't too pricey. Definitely worthwhile if you feel like your bed is too short, or the boat feels unbalanced.

AR bearings are pretty bulky. I doubt it.

Let's see.... 4 on the knobs 3 on the drive shaft (frame, side plate, and AR) 3 on the spool (palm side, frame, behind the engage pin, below the tension cap) 2 on the worm gear You could possible double up on the spool, so that's two more. Another for to align the pinion when engaged. That gets me to 15. I'm lost on the rest.

What is gear chatter? There aren't any gears engaged when casting a typical baitcast reel. So, what is chattering?

Yep, OEM, and other brands..... http://tinyurl.com/hpaxtko

You get a trolling motor mount.

I wait for the Columbia PFG shirts to go on sale. I like Dickies work shorts from the wall marts.

I peel the dealer stickers, plate holders, and the tires are installed with the white letters inside. Nothing I can do about the "GMC" though the look is pretty ubiquitous. Anyone that knows trucks, knows their Chevy/Ford/Dodge/Toyota distinctions.

Gorgeous!

It would violate my contract w/ Wildy if I appear publicly without wearing one. PLus, it's just plain smart to do.

Vanish - it's what happens to your fish when you use this line!

I toss it in the bed, gate down. Secure the bow and somewhere mid ship. I have an orange reflector flag that hangs from the stern to complete the deal.

Standing and casting is a prerequisite for any fiahing kayak I use. I'm currently running a hybrid kayak/canoe type vessel. Wilderness Systems Commander 140.

Check your local rules regarding the stinger treble included. In my state they are not legal to use on Great Lakes tribs. It's easy enough to snip off, so not a big deal.

I've got TW, OEM, Bass Pro, and someo other no-name covers. They all basically work the same.

They're really good for slow retrieve during low flow. And fall run brownies are stupid for anything that resembles a bumble bee pattern.

Keitech Swing Impact (not the Fat version) in Electric Blue & Chartreuse is probably your best bet.

Any luck, like no bites? They're probably the best, slow running spinners out there. Great for keeping your bait high in the column when swinging a quartering cast in light current.

If you use an actual fluorocarbon leader material, it's more resistant to abrasion than anything besides steel wire, but you don't want more than a couple feet of it on the end of your line. It's REALLY unmanageable, even the lighter rated lines.

Been using these in my kayaks for over a decade: http://www.atbatt.com/sealed-lead-acid-batteries/b/volts-amps/m/12v-7ah.asp

Looks like a custom painted Spro Aruku Shad.

Picasso has a "Jr." rig that I like. The head is foam, very light, and mainly serves as a rudder.

Go up to alibaba.com and find all the cheap garbage reels of your dreams.

Try the opposite - what basically amounts to a Carolina rig (no beads necessary) and fished on the bottom. Powerbait trout dough floats, so use a light hook, and the bait ball will float off the bottom. Your other option is to try a moving bait, though it can be tough stockies that are used to trout chow.
