What do you want for it? willing to do some trading? I am looking for a rod in that range. Great find!!! finders keepers.

Have an old Lews speed spool BB-1 by Shimano. Can't remember where I go it but was trying to figure out what it is worth. Any help?

My 2 cents I own a WS Ride 115 and my buddy has the WS Tarpon 120. Both Great yaks, ride is more stable and the tarpon is a little faster. Both are awesom and a SOT is by far the way to go. Honestly if you are not hung up on buying new then look for a good used one. Well worth the time and money to get a quality used over a cheaper new one. I did months of research before I bought mine and have been happy ever since.

Just a Thought, the new Dodge 1500 is offering a ECODiesel. plenty of torque and 28 MPG. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2014-ram-1500-ecodiesel-v-6-first-drive-review

I can but it would take a lot of paddling!!!! In that analogy you are comparing a runner to a car. you can travel farther and faster but I can be more versatile in shallow water and I am quieter. Also If I was going to fish 2 places 5 miles apart I will put in up stream and fish one spot and go with the flow to fish the 2nd. when I am done I will have a 2nd vehicle waiting to catch a ride. We do this a lot and I never kayak alone so it is a given for me. Most of my kayak fishing is float down stream or lakes and it fits my need better and I like them more. Just my opinion. take it for what is is worth

Yes you can stand up and fish in them. I have done it a lot. Even on a moving stream. It is pretty nice. You will not be disappointed with the ride series kayaks.

I have a Minn Kota Maxxum 54 trolling motor. It was given to me if I can fix it. I am still testing a few parts but all is pointing back to the circuit board is bad. The recomended replacement part number is #2884052. About anywhere I can find the part is $200. Here is my delima. is a 10+ year old trolling motor worth $200 fix?? does anyone know where I can find this a lot cheaper??? Just dont know that much about this motor and it may be worth it just need some opinions. Thanks Brian

I have a Ride115 and would not trade it for 2 Jon boats. It paddles so easy, with minimal effort i have outrun jon boats with 40lb thrust trolling motors. when setup right they are a lot of fun and just find a nice used one cheap so when you have someone you want to take with you. I now own 4 and are worth there weight. Good luck on whatever you get.

Been fishing a WS Ride 115 for several years and I love it. Agree with the above comment as to fish it a couple of times before you mount stuff. Kayaks are too much fun!!!! I seem to like the shorter rods in the kayak for ease of use. Enjoy

I agree with the Stradic fj recomendation!!!! I have one and love it, Well worth the money!

I run a 3' spinning rod for the kayak. I actually like it a lot handles well. several 4'6" UL and L rods for wade fishing. They are fun and easy to cast all day. most of the casting rods are 6'6" and up mostly river rods or large lure rods. My Favorite combo right now is a Revo SX 1000 on a Fenwick 5'6" HMG light rod. Just an awesome little setup.

Thanks so far. Was thinking of a copolymer for the 2nd rod. I am a fan of the YoZuri line on my spinning reels. He is pretty proficent with a baitcaster so I am thinking Power Pro line? 30lb on it and a 12lb copolymer. Put 10lb floro leaders on both???

So I am talking to the neighbor this weekend and he is having problems with his Tour PTi reel. I offered to work on it for him and he took me up on it. He brought me back both of his setups. A Tour PTi and Smoke. He says to Go through them both and put new line on them both. I said Braid or what? He said 1 braid and 1 something else. I said ok, I will get them ready. I have several bait casters but normally use spinning reels. What would be the best line for these 2 setups? Both reels are on 7' ish Rods. 1 MH and 1 M. I will use a Floro leader on the braid but what other line would be the best or best to use braid on both. I am learning more myself and using his money to learn :-)

Cool thanks for the info Lets try these photos the first ones were scaled down for size so I went to photo buckett. Here is one my buddy caught on a KVD Square bill
