I think I may get a few of the flush mount 90 degree holders, How has the potomac been for you,? stable, Good to fish from?

I have about half a dozen rat-l-traps. I like them more than anything else.

I believe its called the uni to uni, look it up.

I like it weightless, in shallow water. And a split shot rig in deeper. I like the smoking shad color the best.

How much will one run me, I want to carry a spinning and a caster.

does any one have a rod holder suggestion?

I was going to get something like that vest, Just in PFD form. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10213767_225017001_225000000_225017000_225-17-1 And that's a nice rig you have there, I just want to make something inside the boat, In case I do flip.

Well I was at dicks the other day (feeding my tackle obsession) And noticed they were getting their spring stuff in which included kayaks. They have a sit inside for 200 on sale It's called the potomac, and on their website. I realized that a fishing yak would be the best solution, It's portable, Light, manueverable, And CHEAP, my dad and I could even have our own, rigged to our liking. I want to keep this simple, Maybe a fishfinder when I get some spare cash but I was wonderring about my tackle storage, Because It's a sit inside You cant put a milk crate behind you and I prefer a sit inside because they are easier to paddle, I was thinking about leaving my gear in my tackle back and slide that behind my seat, And have a small tray to hold some "go to" lures. Is this a good Idea? And also whats a good Idea for a rod holder? I wouldn't be trolling, I just need something to transport my rods with, What a good product, I can also rig something out of PVC too.

My tackle shop has stren pretty cheap, I gues I just spool w/ that

Alright, well mono it is, Has anyone tried stren?

Well, I am soon to get a baitcaster, A shimano combo at my local tackle shop, Now I need to find a good line, I have heard allot about braid. I want to use it as my jig, spinnerbait, frog, ETC rod. What kind of line do you think. And if I choose braid, do I need a flouro leader?

Spinning: 6 footish medium action with 12 pound P-Line Flouroclear Casting: 6-7 heavier action with 20 pound spiderwire w/ 20 pound P-Line.

Wow, Thats amazing, Nice work!

I would register it, Then you don't need a launch permit and can just be safe about it, And as always have enough life jackets for the people on board, I have an "angler" est that is more comfortable that a normal one so I can wear it all the time when in my friends canoe. You never know

A 3 inch wacky senko I use finesse tackle, A 4 inch senko I use medium spinning, and for 5 inch, and any weighted Texas I use casting.

yea then i guess they are jerkbaits.

They look like the YUM Money Hound, A topwater that you rig texas style (weightless) that you jerk accros the surface (lily pads, grass beds). Let me know if it floats.

Very, cool jigs, I was thinking sbout making some of my own some time...

Great tips here, Roadwarrior, You carry allot of stuff!!

Yea, Gotta agree!

Here is a pic

Well, How do you organize your tackle? Box, Trays, Binders? what works for you? Post a Pic if you can. I'll start, A plano 4 tray bag, Discontinued, ON sale at dicks, For 8 dollars, Uses 3650 trays, A tray of terminal tackle, And a tray of hard lures, Then two trays of soft plastics I have a picture below From left: Nail Clippers on lanyard, Fishing knot Diagrams, Stringer, Pliers, P-Line Flouroclear 12LB. And the tackle bag, of course. And This will of course continue to GROW!!!

I snell My finesse hooks, when Wacky rigging. A Gama Finesse hook, with a 3 inch senko, You cant beat it!

I keep a few husky jerks in my box for suspending, And floaters, for shallow.

I have had a few of the owner and Allot of the gamakatsu, I like the beast hooks by owner tho, But weighted Gama EWG's aren't half bad!
