I looked and escaped those stick bait offerings barely.  Great deal but why?  I’m glad I couldn’t understand the sku numbers so I bailed…phew..:use what you got…

Good man   

I got a couple of those..... 4 and 6 inch not sure what color pattern hoping one is the sardine type. Course never used a stick bait before but seen it done on U-tube (oh and so shiny!)

I had a White (Port Orford) Cedar kayak paddle a family friend made to go with a half scale dory my stepfather and I made when I was a kid. P.O.C is light and strong, second best would probably be Yellow (Alaskan) Cedar. Both woods are nice to work similar to pine. Red Cedar is much harder to work and not as strong.

Awesome deal, I paid way more a long time ago and am still 100% satisfied with these wheels.

Ye'ah.  Why buy an extra cuz they're cheap...oh so tempting...should be gone by now...I'm recalling my PPP paid for the the 1st pair...

Extra set ....would be set for life.

So tempting.

I feel ya li-orca, yak on the roof running free! 

Good luck to you today, on your adventure.

I like the Daiwa Sealine Surf in 9' or 10' for rockfish and snaring crabs from the shore. You could catch a perch with it but it's really too big and heavy for that application. It's also a bit light for snares but it can be done.

If you burn it just right it's all good to eat!

Oh yeah that's the stuff, I prefer it skin on and grilled/burnt so it's a little bitter topped with daikon and shoyu. This is also great with sardines and other oily bait fish, good for the fishery and good for you!

I have never caught a quillback from the San Mateo Coast on down.

Bushy

+1. On another note,  caught quite a few of Coppers on almost every trip this year.

I also have never caught (or seen) a Quillback anywhere......because I like to fish for near shore rockfish typically in 50' or less.

Seems stupid to force people to fish in deeper water to protect a fish that probably lives primarily there and will have a harder time returning to considering the depths.
