Where to order Yo Zuri Utra Soft
Anyone have anyone to order from besides Cabelas (nothing wrong with Cabelas) any sponsors carry it? No one locally carries it.

Transporting rods in vehicle
In my Jeep Cherokee I run a thin braided rope thru the rear seat seat belt hooks on roof and clothes hangers behind front seat. Then I make loops out of cable ties threaded thru the braid , keeps the rods from sliding sideways and hitting each other.

Shore Fishing Techniques & Tips
I fish jigs 90% from shore, I can crawl em, hop em and swim em. Easy to keep a pocket full and differnt trailers for the situations. I do make my own now as RW suggested you will lose a few and i just love fishing jigs. Now depending on where you live be careful with the wading and belly boats. Here in the low country of SC we have large gators and snakes.

Berkley amp?
I have actually broken mine on a hook set (more of a wrist snap) this week on about a 1.5 lb bass. Rod broke about on the 3rd guide down right at the end of the wrap , clean like it was cut. Had another one on sale on the flea market and took it off for that reason. My experiment is over with the AMP.

Kayak anchor location
I run mine bow to stern that way i can position anyway i want and also use a quick release knot on the line attached to the cariberner so i can release quickly if needed and keep a small float on the line to go back and get it.

Canoe advice
I am looking at an Old Town Canoe http://www.oldtowncanoe.com/canoes/generalFamily/rockport.html for me and my son to take fishing in ponds, small lakes and what not not. Our weight with gear will be close to 375 total. He is 7 and has kayaked on some rentals before and we rent a 12 jon boat at some state parks. Looking at the canoe to be able to put it on roof racks and do some weekend camping and fishing trips (camping gear will not be in canoe). Looking for stability over speed. Anyone use this canoe or have any other suggestions. I have kayak fished for many years along the coast but looking at a canoe so we can be in the same boat.

Jig making newbie
Decided to jump on the band wagon and start making my own jigs. Know where to get the skirts but how about jig heads? Looking for painted as I ease into this. Looking for some line tie flush to the head like these http://www.***.com/descpageDJIGS-DBPJ.html or Revenge jigs. Any suggestions. Also looking for swim jig heads.

Ratings on the Revo S reel?
Revo S's are all that I use any more from everything from 1/8 to 1 oz on various rods. I never could get comfy with the Mag Brakes setups, too much fine tuning. I think they are great reels and especially for $80-100. Tried a Citica 200 E but just had that little shimano play in it and actually was a tad bit small for my hand comfort wise. Of course only my opnion.
-
Jig skirts
I like the regular better, but if I need a smaller presentation I will cut the strands that stick out past the head on a finesse jig off, they pick up every piece of muck on the bottom at least for me. I really like doing this on the evolution jigs(because I ordered the finesse by mistake)
