+1 0n the Ugly stick tiger (7 foot or 6.5 foot) in medium  weight with a GT320 level wind is a pretty popular setup sold as a combo in a lot of stores for about 150 give or take. I don't like rods any shorter because a 7 foot is easy to swing around the nose of the kayak. Pretty tough and easy to clean after every trip.

7' medium light is my go to. Older 320GTi is better than the newer GT2. 20 plus pound salmon no problem.

My reel is the the 321GTi (like it lefty) and they were better than the GT2's from what I've heard.  The GT2 is imported... but it is all they make anymore.  Still a good reel for the money though.

I like the putty idea... more for an emergency seal to at least slow the inflow of water.  By mashing it through a hole and mushrooming it on both sides it would probably work pretty well in the short term.

Ugly stick tiger... mediumish weight.  Penn GT2 reel.  Should be close to on budget, and near bulletproof.

Can someone find the part Sonny needs for his AI Sail Mast???   :smt044

Still can't find (for sure) the correct part number for it!  I'll buy anyone lunch if he/she can find me the correct part number.

what part are you looking for?

It's only 9 or 10 feet long its small for me being 6ft and 250lbs :/

Sounds like a sport... @ 250lbs you are already exceeding it's capacity as per the manufacturer.  That makes it a total no go IMO... repaired or not.

Hobie Mirage Sport:

    Crew: 1
    Length: 9' 7" / 2.92 m
    Width: 29.5" / .75 m

Again I ask... where's the hyphen? ;p

Our goal is not to redefine what we are, rather it is to clarify.  I've never seen Nor-Cal used nor have I ever seen NorCalKayakAnglers (without the trailing .com used).  So I don't think we should consider them.

I am joking... I think the hyphen or perhaps the star you often see associated with NOR-CAL is brand specific... and often seen in tattoos.

Got to give it to the guy... damn creative.  Probably sold in a heartbeat just because the ad put a smile on someones face.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Who has the best prices on Diamond Jigs?
« on: April 04, 2013, 10:55:53 AM »
And... purchase the kind that have big single hooks, not trebles.  Damn things just get you hung up all the time.  Another tip... get some colored tubing (something like heat shrink for wires or thin walled surgical tubing) and thread it onto the hook so that is extends down past the bend in the hook.  When jigging it will hit first causing the hook to lay over... which will keep your hook out of little nooks and crannies.  It drastically reduces snags.

There are times when working deeper depths require heavier jigs. Not always weather dictated.

I mentioned that in my next post... its true of course.  When working out toward the limit beyond 100ft a heavy jig can be nice.  I try to stay shallower than that if the fish are cooperative just so they don't suffer barotrauma.

how heavy do you guys typically buy them. I'm planning on buying the 6oz, but I'm not sure.

It is sort of depended on the weight of your rod, and general fishing conditions.  6 oz. are normally fine (if not a little heavy) unless the wind is blowing like hell and you are drifting fast.  Then you need to go heavier to stay straight up and down and avoid decorating the bottom of the ocean with all your lost gear.  But frankly... if that is the case you probably shouldn't be out there in a kayak anyway.

Thank you, I will go with 6oz then.

Having a few heavy ones isn't a bad idea either though.  They are nice if you get into deeper water.

1 and 2.  1 is reserved for people "in the know" and 2 is for directing people I meet on the water to the site. 

If this question is about how to get people to recognize the site within the logo... NCKA.org is a no brainer IMO.  Easy to remember and short...  The kind of thing you can see on a window sticker while going 65mph and still remember.
