  1. Mostly 1/10. Also have some 1/20.
  2. Based on that, I'd look for a lower profile cushion of some sort, either like the one first mentioned, a gel-based one, or go to a kayak shop and see if you can get a sheet of closed-cell foam (relatively cheap) and make your own...

    First post, lost hat! Welcome aboard!
  4. Agree with @PECo, try a seat cushion of sorts first. You should post of picture of your setup as there may be someone here who has done modifications on the same yak, or similar one... Otherwise, Googling DIY kayak seat mods for (your kayak) is a great source. Hit the Images link and have a gander at the mods (assuming there are for yours).
  5. Welcome aboard! Good suggestions above, to ask locals, join club...
  6. My wife isn't a shoe or clothing hound, in fact, she's the opposite of me in that she's content with most things she has...like her 4 year old iPad that if it weren't for the screen protector, would lose all the glass on the front due to drops from the kids. She got upset when I upgraded her iPhone from a 5 to a 6s...said it wasn't necessary. I have no ground to stand on, when it comes to fishing gear. Although, I am waiting on a PWM controller for my trolling motor! Should be here by tomorrow!!! And she doesn't know about it. Yet. I'm prepping the doghouse for my arrival just in case.
  7. I have found senkos that were waterlogged and about double their normal size, but that's after a looooong period of time they've been in the water. Lay 'em out on some newspaper in a dry place...like @J Francho said, they'll soon be dry. Anyhoo, welcome to the forums, Fguy. Interesting first and second post on wet worms...
  8. Welcome aboard!
  9. LOL!!! Welcome back, Hootie! That's a hilarious story
  10. Welcome aboard! You could use the combo you have for a lot of techniques including TX rigs, larger-worm wacky rigs, jigs, and so forth. As for a new rig, it seems your only missing a ML combo for smallies.
  11. Welcome aboard, Tyler! My son uses a Lexa 100 and gets a lot of good use out of it. Plenty good for all freshwater needs. The 400 is a big reel, fine for salt, and probably hunting musky. Oversized for bass, IMO, but if it suits you, fine. If I were to get another today, I'd also look at the Tatula lineup...
  12. I can really tell a difference in reel stability between my Shimanos and Daiwa that do not have the fully integrated handle. Thus I use Stradics from FI to CI4+
  13. Welcome aboard!
  14. Welcome aboard! Congrats on the PB, and you'll learn quickly being here, having a scale is utmost necessity!
  15. Hm. I use both. If heavy weeds/cover, buried, typically. If light/moderate grassy, texposed. Also depends on pound test of line.
  16. Yeah. Truly pitiful... In other news, sales of paper bags soaring in Cleveland.
  17. First post with a thread revival! Welcome aboard!
  18. And so it seems Jimmy wanted the trade even though the Pats were willing to pay him. https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/10/30/jimmy-garoppolo-trade-patriots-49ers
  19. Wow. Jimmy G to 49ers! Jay Ajayi to Eagles - the best get a solid RB

    Welcome aboard!
  21. Looks awesome! Nice framework, and end result! Oh, nice bass, too
  22. I use plastic storage boxes, gallon zip locs and label the overflow of stuff on those bags. Hard lures are in lure boxes. Stuff I use is in a Plano guide box with most commonly used soft plastics in the top compartments, terminal tackle in a small box, divided up with labels for hook size and so on. Z-Man plastics are in their own bags in the bottom section along with spinner baits, scales, line, etc.
  23. If I had to go no fluoro or braid and to only a mono line, I'd probably go back to Trilene XL... Was easiest to deal with on my spinning gear, never used on casting, though. However, since copoly is a choice, that's where I'd go. Specifically Yo-Zuri Hybrid and P-Line Floroclear.
