Are there any good uv/ blacklights that are easily adaptable to a track mount for kayaks? I have multiple kayaks so I would like something that I can move from kayak to kayak as needed. I found some from table rock black lights but looking at the Google listing it looks like they are permanently closed. Thanks in advance. Chuck

I bought 3 rods off amazon when the pricing was ridiculously low.... only reason I tried it. All 3 off them (separate orders) came packaged in only a plastic bag covering the rod. Needless to say all but one of them was broken and one even had the tip taped to the rod lol(honestly don't know how the one survived). And the funny thing about it was I had to argue with customer service because they wanted me to send it back in a box....I told them if they would have shipped it in one we wouldn't be having this discussion. I've had great luck with reels and have not had any problems with a couple of cheap 2 piece rods.

Pay attention to your prices in the cart on the spro sales guys.... everytime i added something some of my prices changed. Most are correct but some reverted back to full price. Might be glitching out for some reason.

Yeah you should have no problems with putting it in the back of the truck. I bought a bed extender when I went to pick up my ride 115 and didn't need it. Probably could even go a couple feet longer and still be good. I think the rudder would be dependent on which kayak you get, where you are using it and maybe your paddle stroke. I've only had the ride out in moving water and I see no need for a rudder at this time. Had a cuda and lure 11.5 out during demo days and didn't see a need for one on the cuda but would not have bought the lure without one, it didn't track well for me. Flyfisher is spot on on the anchoring in my opinion

In my original post I forgot to mention that I bought my ride new from a retail store. I'm now looking at a couple cheaper used ones for sale. Sorry for confusion.

Caught one on a senko last year, overcast and landed the senko on the bank. Saw something grab it but had no idea what it was til I got it next to my canoe.

Had a question about buying used kayaks. Really enjoying the kayak and thinking about buying another for guests. My question is, is there any necessary paperwork I need to get when purchasing used? I know when I bought my ride 115 I got my receipt and a statement of origin. Not worried about warranty or anything, but just proving its yours and maybe registering it if I want to put on a trolling motor. Just wondering what those who have bought used have done? thanks

I think they are pretty comparable. President has the history, Revros is newer so we will have to see how it holds up over time. Last 2 I have bought have been Revros but I've found some pretty good deals and they were cheaper

President and trion are great spinning reels for the money. Great workhorse reels. Really liking the Daiwa Revros in that price range as well.

FFO charges shipping. Think it was $12-15. The aetos was free shipping if I remember correctly. And yes the aetos is quite an upgrade from rods listed.

Dicks sports has an online flash sale for 50% off pinnacle rods and reels. I know they got good reviews from the moderators here. It ends very soon though....think 10 pm eastern.

It's been a couple years since I fished it but I think you have to go back to the main entrance/rental place if you want to switch lakes. The boats are locked up and I think each lake uses different locks. I don't think they charged us to switch lakes but it's been awhile so not sure. I think boats the way to go on a lot of them because the ones I fished with boats had very limited shore access. I purposely stayed away from the more popular ones which had more pressure and easier shore access. Have also walked deep into woods for a few lakes well off the beaten path, a couple were pretty decent but had very limited shoreline access. mo_lmb is spot on with the lake descriptions.

6.3/6.4 reels are very versatile reels, can be used for a lot of techniques. I probably have half a dozen. It really depends on how many combos you plan on having.
