« on: July 06, 2024, 09:24:47 AM »

$299.99 at West Marine. Never seen it this low in price anywhere. Perfect size for a kayak. I would get it if I had not purchased a 74sv recently.

General Talk / Getting squid ink stains off kayak

« on: June 12, 2024, 09:24:20 PM »

Got the revo blotched up with squid ink during one of the outings. I was able to get some off right away by washing it with saltwater right there in the ocean but unfortunately I missed some areas which gave my kayak a tattoo that won't come off even with soap.
Any ideas what to use? I've heard magic eraser works but didn't want to scuff up the kayak.

For Sale / Shimano electric reel - Forcemaster 600 (JDM) including battery

« on: February 20, 2024, 08:21:45 PM »

I have a JDM Forcemaster 600 electric reel for sale. I used it 2 times and is in pretty good shape in new condition. Reel at Amazon runs around $520 or so. Great for jigging and on boats fishing for fish in deeper waters.

Will sell it for $420. Will include a compact lithium battery that I bought for $180 extra.

General Talk / Best place to buy a drysuit

« on: January 30, 2024, 07:12:59 PM »

Looking to get a good drysuit. I was looking at the Odyssey GoreTex suit by Kokatat but the price tag makes my jaw drop. Didn't want to spend more than 1200 maybe.
Any recommendations on a place to try on a drysuit and where I can get some of my questions answered?

« on: July 16, 2023, 11:51:55 AM »

West Marine is having a sale and saw this reel and the narrow version available for a great price. These are really awesome reels for the price and if you contact Okuma, they'll sell you the long Alijos power handle that can be used to horse those bluefin in.

Craftsmen's Corner / Safety light

« on: May 02, 2022, 12:55:06 PM »

I took some hints from an existing design and customized a 3d print for my own dimensions and bulb size.

My kayak holds 2 nocqua batteries hanging from a holder in the rear hatch of my revo 13. The power is distributed by a FPV Power distribution block which has a remote that I can use to toggle on/off some ports on it.
I decided to create a 12v kayak safety light since I couldn't get myself to pay 200 for the berleypro version (all others are 2 AA battery powered) and attached it to the distribution block so I could turn it on or off.
Simple design although it took some time to get the dimensions right.

Bill of materials
* 8.95 + 5 shipping for the 360 led bulb with 550 lumens.
* $2 for the short 1.25 inch plexiglass tube from Tap Plastics
* $16 for the 2 18inch carbon fiber camera rods
* 3d printing filament for the holder - negligible value
* $2 for the bottom 1/4" female socket

I did attach a T mounting screw to the bottom of the rod to mount it to a mighty mount track that I'll be adding to the back of the kayak.

If anyone wants the stl file, let me know and I can share.

For Sale / Meiho tackle box Versus VS-7070

« on: March 09, 2022, 01:03:30 AM »

I bought this to fit it in the back of my kayak but I got the dimensions wrong. Tried to send it back but the return postage was a lot so I ended up keeping it.
It's an awesome tacklebox and you can attach rod holders, lure holders, cup holder, jig holders etc to it.
Never used. It's sitting in my closet and I was just gauging if anyone was interested in it.
I paid close to 60 for it. Selling for $25.
