  1. If I may suggest, you really want to scour Google for reviews of the Slayer Propel, the Pro Angler, Outback, etc. There are a lot of video reviews, and extensive write ups of the Pros/Cons of the Hobie Mirage Drive and Native's Propel drive. If reverse is a deal breaker for you, then the Slayer Propel is your answer, if not, Hobie is in contention. Really depends on you. Do you prefer pedaling motion or the back/forth of Hobie's system. If you can demo each, you'd be best prepared to make the right decision FOR YOU. Your third option is to buy a BassYak kit or pre-rigged kayak and forego the pedaling for an electric yak. That's what I do
  2. I've taken a knife blade to the hook shank and "carve" up gently to slice away the line...
  3. Agreed. Kyrie is looking good, despite fouls. Teams seem well matched against each other. I continue my noncommittal approach. I like both teams!!

    Welcome aboard!
  5. These things happen... Nothing to be worried about.
  6. That's a HOSS! Nice bass!
  7. My current favorite rod is the white Carbonlite. They pair great with my Chronarch 50e reels, and on the spinning side, my Stradics. A personal preference. I'm always open to a different rod, so often put my hands on them when in-store. But since money doesn't grow on trees, I am satisfied with the CL rods... 2 cents.
  8. Welcome aboard, Dustin! We were all newbies at one time, so ask away!
  9. Welcome aboard, Stan!
  10. Welp... I was a huge Golden State fan when in college - Chris Mullin was my boy! But I like the narrative of the Cavaliers. I think both cities deserve to win. It could really be a toss up. Weapons on Golden State are some of the best we've seen in a long time. LeBron is ... LeBron. He's a freak show of amazing talent at any position he plays. I could really flip a coin, but I'll go out on a limb and say I think GS will take it if Kyrie is a shadow of himself. If Kyrie is all guns blazing, Cavs will be tough to beat. How's that for non-committal?
  11. Welcome aboard! Maybe add a spinning rod/reel combo to your mix to handle lighter duty fishing like dropshotting, etc.
  12. Welcome aboard!
  13. Welcome aboard!
  14. Excellent fish!

  18. I have no experience with Hi-Seas lines, but I do have a number of P-Line Floroclear spools. It is a great line in my experience. I do happen to use Yo-Zuri Hybrid more these days as I have a LOT more of it than Floroclear. But I've used (use) Floroclear from 6-15 pound test and it has worked great for me.
  19. Welcome aboard!
  20. Sad to hear, tragic, indeed. PFD all the time on a kayak. When we've rented boats for vacation, the kids always wore one, but the adults didn't UNLESS they were going out on a tube, skis, etc. I drill it into my sons and their friends. Never, ever go out on a yak, or in a canoe, without wearing a PFD all the time. And my sons are competitive swimmers. None of that helps when one is soaked and sinking if knocked unconscious. If I had a bass boat today, I'd wear a PFD.
  21. Hey Nick, welcome aboard!
  22. Welcome aboard, Erikson! Good for another BILLS fan to welcome you first!! GO BILLS!
  23. Yes, and I, too, have had it in both arms. Like Wayne said, there is a lot of info on treating it, but we're each different. For me, and this may sound crazy, pushups helped my elbows more than anything -- that and rest. I would do partial pushups - knees on ground, and enough pushups to where I'd feel warmth from the added blood flow into my elbow area. That's my story!
