What you’ve done is set coverage for an existing set of items which the insurance has agreed to pay upon. If you were to acquire a gold plated wiggle wart, worth $20,000 your insurance would NOT cover it unless you updated your policy prior to the loss. Your pictures you have now will only serve to make sure they pay the previously agreed on maximum coverage. Not having any claims with your insurance is by no means a good indicator of how they will cover you. It just means you don’t have experience making claims with your insurance company. Even the best of adjusters can only do so much since the policy is written on paper.

I always read the worst / lowest rating reviews on most items I purchase. if there are consistent themes it’s a red flag. i find it’s pretty easy to identify trolls or people who are projecting other problems they have with other parts of their life or frustrations into their review.

Welcome to the fam! Hoping to have me a new fishing partner in a couple of years! If that’s not his jam, that’s ok too.

Flat side crankbaits are the biggest driving factor in my risking frost bite to my hands fishing in the winter… and that’s saying a lot because my hands are my livelihood!

That field goal block (and the punt block) decided the game!

What are you using for power?

As off putting as I find him on another forum, Kevin at K&K Kustomz has about the best prices on PowerPoles I have found. He will make sure you get the right bracket. He sold me a pair of Blades and the sandwich brackets for $3,500 in March of ‘19.

You were not supposed to do this. You were my inspiration to keep my kayak simple. Really the last line of defense between the bait monkey and me adding electronics to my kayak. Hahaha Looks nice! also looking forward to that video of what you’ve learned about how to efficiently rig your kayak.

Yep, all of them I have owned. At first I thought it was a quality control/water temp issue. For $6 and being a store brand jerk bait, I have no idea how reliable the sink vs. float situation is with them, but I do know, for $6 might be worth a look.

Considering walleye and those brown footballs tend to overlap in their dinner choices, I suspect a similar or even increased effectiveness for the brown species. Haven’t thrown them in waters that have smallmouth bass.

I use a rifle case.

Might consider the Cabela’s Mean Eye Walleye series jerkbaits. They sink… …and… …catch fish, big ones.

The skulling ? paddle has fallen out of favor since collecting the scalps of your foes is no longer acceptable. (Couldn’t help myself). I don’t know much about sculling, do you mean a hand-type paddle? Or the form of the blade in your reference.
-
I am going to blame dictation for my original error. However, in reality it was just a hurriedly-typed post. Good catch. I am limiting my purchase to bass pro. specific paddle recommendations, im not really looking for unless they are offered at Bass Pro. More looking for concepts/principles to keep in mind when looking. Alerting me to the importance of sizing so far has been helpful.

Its probably a big waste of money but I am going to get this YakGear Backwater Assassin Carbon Fiber Paddle. I'll do a review. I will agree its hot penny to drop for a kayak paddle, but since I've got to use the points, why not? https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/yakgear-backwater-assassin-carbon-fiber-hybrid-kayak-paddles

Anything special to consider when choosing a kayak paddle? Seems like there are lots of options. I’ve been looking at Bass Pro / Cabela’s because I have a lot of money in gift cards to use. Do people tend to get a hand paddle and the longer paddle? My kayak is a pedal drive.

In my opinion, the most component of “affording” a boat at 22 is paying cash. At $2,800 per month, depending on what region you live in, I don’t imagine you have a ton left over every month if you are saving aggressively (as I also highly recommend at age 22). Determine your price range and set a savings goal for a boat. Mid-90’s Ranger boats can be had at <$8,000. (I only use Ranger as an example because I was looking for a boat in that price range a few years ago and it seemed that the Ranger R-series boats were commonly found in that price range and had good reviews, some of the best). Only after you meet your savings goal start actually looking for a boat. Alternatively, save yourself a lot of expense for storage and boat maintenance and get a nice pedal drive kayak such as an Old Town Sportsman. Much less expensive to store and maintain. Once again though, set a savings goal and buy with cash. At 22 please don’t go into debt for a bass boat.

I like tech. All kinds. fishing tech. Computer tech. Operating room tech. I think it’s fun. I have all the latest and greatest gizmos and gadgets on my boat that I want. Hope to continue to. I use it when I want or ignore it when I don’t. Sometimes I still fish from bank with just a pole or two and still have a great time and still catch fish. I never have cared about professional or tournament fishing so I really don’t care what they use.

The Titanic was also an “unsinkable ship”. Wear and tear will destroy even the highest quality of anything. Pretty simple to protect it.

Well I’m definitely part of their mailing list and have spent thousands with them… but no email ?♂️

Don’t know yet. Just ordered

I went with the Boonedox landing gear because it was 20% off and seemed to have good reviews, although the few videos I watched did seemed to be paid promotions.
-
I agree! heavier than I anticipated. I used to be a fair amount stronger and could have probably thrown it around ok Now I’m definitely going to need some sort of cart for it. Anyone using a cart for one of these? If so, which one?
