Extra 25% off clearance. They have a Lexa 400 for $173. Bought 2 saltiga rods.

How do the other reels your using compare to this one. Been thinking of getting one for deep water.
What made you sell this on compared to the others ?? Cheers

I have two other electric reels. I have another Shimano Forcemaster 600 aside from the one I'm currently selling to Sonny. The other one I have is the Daiwa Seaborg G300J. Both are great reels and really compact and light and are great for jigging.
I have a number of JDM reels but got sold on the electric variety once I started using them in deep water. On some of the party boats, I outfished most people using heavy jigs. Having a clear lcd screen, you can tell the depth and how much line is left when pulling fish up. Also I really like the fact that the reel stops reeling automatically 6-8ft from the boat.
Fishing with electric reels is a totally different experience.

I am serious interested  :smt003

General Fishing Tips / Re: Kayak loading on tailgate spoiler

Thanks for sharing. I’ve never seen one like that. Looks high tech

I was actually surprised that it was made in Japan being not so expensive. Well constructed and works well when loading onto my tall FX35 Suv.

Will join if I'm not traveling at that time. Likely will be though.

Thanks all for the valuable info. Looks like I'll be buying one of the suits soon in time for the season.

Outdoorplay has sales on drysuits fairly often. This is the one I have been using for about 6 years: https://www.outdoorplay.com/products/kokatat-supernova-angler-gore-tex-pro-dry-suit

That looks like a good deal. A question. Is it advised to get a size up (M -> L), if wearing layers underneath?

It seems to me that the Odyssey is overkill unless you want to be like Mr. X. Kokatat has several other models that would be within your price range. 

I don’t know where you can try them on, but that doesn’t seem critically important to me. As for getting questions answered, I’d think that right here would be the best place for that.

I mentioned the Odyssey since I was looking for something durable.
I guess my questions were based on sizes that would fit me. I'm between a M and L and I had questions around how many layers I could wear underneath or what kind of base layers to get based on a specific kind of drysuit.
For ocean kayaking, is it okay to have a semi dry suit with say neoprene gaskets as opposed to latex and not be worried about water intrusion when immersed? For comfort around the neck, is neoprene more comfortable than latex?

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?

General Talk / Re: Devils Slide impressive driftwood structure
« on: September 14, 2023, 10:43:20 AM »
People caling for someone to ear it down. I think the ighty Pacific will ake care of that no problem come this winter. If it's really made from all driftwood I guess that's cool.  If it's made with other stuf that's gonna become new trash on the beach, it's not cool.  Transient doesn't mean not fun or cool!

Bushy

Yep. The dark rock is indicative of water going up that high. That thing won't last too long I suspect.

Welcome. Consider going to the MBK derby next weekend for some halibut fishing.
