I just got started fishing again after taking almost 20 yrs off. I kept mine line in a wooden locker in the garage. There are over 3/4 filled 3000yd spools Trilene XT 12lb, XL 8lb, Big Game 12,15,20lb. I’m afraid to use it

Would you be interested in looking at/fixing these two reels?

Guy on YouTube compares under $1000, under 1500 and under 2000 fishing kayaks. Search around there for help. last Sept I bought a used Jackson big rig for $1000. I love it! Stand all day. Paddles decent once you get it moving. I just added a bow mount trolling motor to it. Even better now

I live right up the road from Conesus and fish it a lot. I’m in a kayak so I stick to the northend west side mostly. It’s been a tough year for me there. Spring was good with a few close to 4lbs but this summer I was lucky to get 2-3 fish each time (if any) and none over 2lbs. I know their in there. Friend got a few in the 5-6lb range and 1 over 7. I wish I could tell you great spots and what to throw. I throw jigs, wacky worms, spinnerbaits so now you know what not to throw lol

Which one is standard size?

Ok but the 3” are just in a bag

Just bought my first rage bug yesterday. 4” Blue flake for 3/4oz jig. Question about these 4”. Why are they packaged in a hard plastic packaging?

I’m just the opposite. I have a better grip with a higher reel.

Naw they’re quite for a few casts then it gets worse

I have 6. 4 are good just a little less casting distance. 2 make noise when casting/retrieving

I have some Curado 201’s from the 90’s. Are those the b series? How much are those new parts and labor to fix mine up?

Sorry I haven’t. No reviews on amazon either. That is a pricey rod

I have 2 13 Fishing Rods Elite Chrome 6’10” spin ml and a Envy Black 7’11” Casting heavy flipping the spinning is nice although I haven’t used it much. I think it was $80. I really like the flipping stick but I wish it was a little shorter. I bought it unused for $100 but retail was closer to $300 edit: envy is going for 140 on amazon now so I might have been fed a line of bs

Hmm... I use a drift sock every time I’m in my kayak. Never had a problem with it folding up. I keep it about 6’ off the back. When I want to pull it in I just paddle backwards till it’s alongside me and hook the strap with my paddle and bring it in. I think my 36” sock was under $30.

You won the kayak tournament out of a canoe right?

Ww2farmer are you the guy I met from KBFNY?

I need to learn this. A friend told me to rig this up the night before a tournament a few weeks ago. I got on youtube and saw the bubba style. I rigged it the best I could with what I had. 12lb green big game mono, 1/0 owner hook, 6” straight worm and a basic 1/2oz bell sinker. Lake is weedy and stained water. Very first cast with it I thought I hooked a bunch of weeds until the weeds moved sideways. Total accidental catch of a 15” LM. I’ve been using it ever since then and nothing, nada, zilch.

Try the canal. Lots of people talk about good fishing in there

I have no experience with this but maybe a camera and something to take notes with

7 round rule was stuck down awhile I'm lucky to live in a good county also. I’m in Livingston, you?

Why didn’t they shoot back?

In case you are still looking for info try searching Facebook for a group called “motorized kayak fishing” and “diy kayak rigging” if you got it done please let me know how it turned out as I’m looking to do it soon

Just shot a 365 tonight. I liked it. Shot well, nice tigger, easy to conceal. The only reason I’d add a 365 to my carry is if I really needed a small gun that holds 10 rounds as I’m in NY also. I’m a Glock guy so that says a lot that I liked the Sig. I have 3 G19‘s and 2 G43’s. I’ve had others but I like these the best. 98% of the time I carry the 19. I’d highly recommend trying as many different kinds as possible before you buy.
