Most of the builds I've seen... The black box is mounted in the compartment under the seat or in a crate in the back.....there aren't too many other options... Hull storage is at a bare minimum on the autopilots.. I have a railblaza hexx transducer mount I will be using once I finally pull the trigger and add the lvs34.. I was waiting for mega live 2 to finally appear but since it's not compatible with my helix 9...garmin is the better option..

If it's a new lake, yes I'll pay closer attention to electronics to help eliminate dead water....

The Tackle Shop is my favourite podcast... And most of the rest that focus on kayak fishing get my attention..

I added a hitch and use the Yakima long arm bed extender... Also built a rolling cart to get it in and out of my garage easily...

Never... I enjoy using nicer tools... Makes my fishing experience better... Can't take my money with me when my time is up...

If I could afford one, I'd be in a 2075 Lund pro v bass... They definitely have their purpose when you enjoy chasing bass

Very specific... Much quicker to carry multiple setups to avoid retying on the water.. Just easier to pick up another rod...

My reels are all serviced and ready to go back onto my rods... Still need to reseal all the cork with fresh coat of U40... Still 2 months before our ice all melts tho...

My forever bait of the year will always be a 4.8 Keitech swing fat impact... If I need a bite, it's my number 1 confidence bait..

My autopilot 120 is the only kayak I've ever been on... I had zero interest in paddling or pedaling much so that made my choice easy... IMO it's the best fishing kayak on the market for my needs... Fishing with spot lock and a motor is a game changer.... It's been 2 full seasons car topping it... I fish 2 to 3 times per week in the spring to fall seasons.. Best decision I've ever made... I fish to relax, not exercise..

6 or 7 gear ratio shimano.. 12lb sunline sniper... What I use for all my cranking duties

Gloomis

I've never noticed your issue b4..

Question.. Are you supposed to feel the blades thump like a regular bladed jig?... I tried the micro once and never again because I could not feel any vibration of the blades..

Worst sunline braid... Used once N took it off immediately... Didn't like that it felt too stiff.. Like thread coated in plastic..... I'll stick to Sx1 for spinning and fx2 for baitcaster...

My scale showed 121g for my nrx plus 904c

I'll be throwing top waters and square bills on my expride 610m if needed...

Can't just have one... Met 13s and met 20s are my favourite reels... Latest bantam isn't far behind them now...

895c better choice for 3/4 N trailer in heavy cover... 894c for 1/2..

No.. I've never tried the 854 b4.. Probably will have a stiffer tip being much shorter... 852s is the only shorter rod in my nrx lineup..

894 is the best 1/2 jig rod in the nrx lineup... Mine always has a jig tied on it... Heavy cover no problem...

16x13 might not be wide enough to fit 4 holders on the hinge side?... My holders are spaced just far enough so that my reels do not touch...

I keep a mini air horn near my seat at all times... If they don't see me.. I'll make sure they hear me.. But I'm pretty vigilant when boats are near me and my head is always on a swivel...

Yes.. Lower Rideau River is one of my favourite places.. I have not taken my kayak out there yet but plan on doing it this season.. My fishing partner just moved out to Ottawa so I'll be planning a few trips further east..

16x16 blackpack pro has 10 rod holders.. And 30 qt engel cooler has 4..and if you count the 4 factory holders.. I could have 4 more... I have an autopilot 120 and the rear tank well is pretty spacious..
