if you are looking for a quality rod abu garcia vengeance, veritas, sellus are really good and affordable also as for reel lews, abu garcia pro max and silver max, daiwa laguna. check out ***.com there you can search for rods based on price range and length. catfish setups i would go to with abu garcia 5600 rcx reel they are my personal favorite for catfishing matched with a 7'6 medium heavy or heavy rod and i use 30 pound spiderwire braid with a 20lb flurocarbon leader or wire leader for muskies.

Well, i don't usually do things halfway and fishing is no exception. I had all intentions to fish from the bank or possibly a kayak. That all changed when I had the opportunity to sell my camper and buy a boat.

I will do anoter post in the show off your ride topic. I ended up with a 1989 Sea Nymph tournament 155. The previous owner had decks on the front and back. Can't find another like it when searching. Has a 1989 25hp Johnson. The inside looks like new with fresh carpet and solid floors. Very little storage and no rod storage. I will have to remedy that. Will have pics up once I pick it up. Can't wait to get it on the water again.
