I really am curious about one of these. Tackle tour had high praise for them

Melamine sponges are cheaper and get the same result.

2-3ft

I had a Falcon Bucoo that I got at Walmart for dirt cheap. It was a pretty sick rod for top waters and I wish I kept it.

832 or momoi diamond braid.

I have a Pflueger supreme and a stradic fj. Both are excellent choices for a spinner. Idk if the ci4 is worth the extra $ over an fj.

I use a Daiwa lexa, and Shimano citica e in the salt. No problems thus far each is rinsed after use. There are inshore reels out there but they usually come with a pretty high price tag. A lot of guys use curado 300e but I've never had one. Pretty sure that unless your consistently dunking your gear most reels will handle salt water as long as you take care of them routinely.

The Walmart by me has it in stock. Only big box I've seen it in

Just found out melanoma runs in the family. I no longer care about having a farmer's tan.

Here's how these threads tend to go. You'll get some guys that'll say Shimano is the best. Then you'll get some guys that'll say there's no better value out there than the president. Then you'll get some guys that'll say it doesn't really matter since your only bass fishing. I currently own 2 pflueger's (President, and Supreme) and 2 shimanos (Symetre, and Stradic). Both brands are very smooth. I haven't ran into anything that would really test the drag so can't comment too much on that. One thing I like about the President was the bail. Might seem trivial but I liked their's over shimanos. Anyway, of the 3 you listed I'd go w the President. If you can spend a bit more or look around get a used symetre, saros, or even an older stradic.

Agreed. Looks sweet though

Are the airpro seats compatible with older model rides? Mine is a 2012

Go Birds

what fishfinder did you add to your ride? I'm looking into a lowrance Mark 5 but don't know whether to save for an elite 4 or another brand/model all together

tractor supply carries them as well

I fish for striped bass w white 3/4oz or 1oz w white or red uncle josh trailer. Andrus, spro or hand poured.

momoi diamond

Paddle your boat and fish out of it, customize it as you go. Like everyone else said, buy a nice PFD, practice getting in and out. Enjoy your new yak

I've read people use laundry detergent bottles filled with sand. Haven't tried it but I'm going to give it a try once I get an anchor trolley

Yeah I'm going to mess with it some more. Like I said I can adjust my other reels just fine, brakes at 0 etc. Just this one isn't working. I have a Lews TP that's just plain awesome, so I know the higher end reels are great and wasn't sure about the lower.

Mag breaks, it's the model above the laser spool. I can adjust my other reels just fine, set the brakes to 0, hold the rod at an angle. This one reel just doesn't seem to adjust

I can't seem to get the right tension to dial in my reel. It's a lews speed spool. I can't get a controlled fall, it's either free fall or no fall at all. Is there anything I can do to make it adjust easier or is it just the way it is?

Yes, the standard

Not to high jack this thread but any else have trouble adjusting the spool tension on the speed spool? Mine either free falls or doesn't fall. I can't get a controlled fall
