put on a pic when it's all said and done. can't wait to see it. with the boat of course

need to check regulations. some tourney trails have minimum and maximum regs for boats.

I run Okeechobee in an a 18 foot ranger all the time and have no problems at all.

ditto………..4600c models,older black or pro max, orras,revos etc.

no one yet...................................but would like to.....................anyone.................

7 to 7'6" is a good choice. as far as reels abu's 2nd genereation orra is what I use. lews reels would be a great second choice.as long as it has an aluminum frame for strength.

as long as you use abec 5 or 7, either one will be great. I've used both and can't tell the difference between em.

will try that out this weekend. gonna be punchin mats. looks awesome.

have had all of this done and chocolate and caffein is my nemesis. drink at least 80 ozs. of water a day. they haven't been as bad as they were 12-15 years ago. this was the first one in 2 years. but the timing sucks.thanks to all for the response.

try bassboatseats.com got a pair from them they worked out good. lot of options.

i'd stick with med. have a lot more options.

why is it whenever you have everything planned,organized and ready to go, something like a kidney stone attack gets in the way? spent early sat. morning in the ER getting pumped full of morphine,fluids etc. not what I had planned.still haven't passed it. oh well here we go again. this about my 20th over the years. they always come on without any warning. just gotta try again next weekend. watch out TOHO i'm coming !!!!!!!

see above......

I found a really good one at northern tool supply for about 100 bucks on sale.

Big Game 10-12 or try Ande 10-12 stays a little more limp than Big Game. I like both .

the top ones look like old fliptails. the bottom ones look like cream scoundrels.

gamakatsu for me.

also old manns razorback pigs.love em.

some of the guys I talked to say finding clean water was the main problem. high winds didn't help but mostly water conditions were tough.

speed clip all day long and into the night…...

see above and apply………….

best answer yet. but then again I'm biased to abu reels. maybe a lews. but for me an second generation orra would fill the bill. 100 dollar bill.

I live 40 minutes away from Mudhole and get all my building components there. very helpful,friendly staff. can and will answer all your questions. if I lived closer to DVT that's where I'd get my stuff.

AMEN………….

fished west lake toho in the wind today. holy crap it was rough !!!!!!!!! moved into shingle creek early and caught a quick limit. nothing to write home about. 8 lbs. only 21 limits were caught. 88 fishermen 2 over 8 lbs. not a great day. wind was howling all day. reports from a lot of guys that the water was muddy everywhere they went. very few made the run to kissimee. same results. we need a break from the high winds. slight breeze is ok but this howling needs to go away.
