Read through some old posts and browse some categories. We also welcome you to write any articles that you may feel important to be here on the site.

Rod Building / FHLB 2018 Batson Giveaways
« on: March 04, 2018, 11:58:50 AM »
Family shot of all the custom rods that will be given away at this year's Fred Hall show in Long Beach. Amazing work from amazing builders right here in San Diego. Big ups to Bill Batson and crew of Batson Enterprises for their generosity. Nothing is asked for, no compensation, all done for the love of rod building. Good luck to those attending this year's show.

Recommend a bilge pump especially for a sit inside. Aqua Bound makes a great one. Backup bailout bucket wouldn't hurt either and doubles as a makeshift port a potty.

Fishing Talk / Re: Inflatable Kayaks
« on: November 28, 2017, 02:40:33 PM »
Inflatables are inferior in tracking, get blown around easier, and surfing one in is equivalent to trying to ride Pipe on a blow up doll IMHO. But it gets the job done. But if I were to go the inflatable route I'd rather get the Hobie SUP. More versatile and fun even on non fishing days.

Not big enough for a belt but maybe just enough for a watch strap.

Ah so that's why the closure on the 8. 
Cool mold those will definitely get bit. Might not even need paint.

Tackle Talk / Re: Carnage II Surf Spinning - guide not in line with reel seat
« on: September 07, 2017, 08:33:11 PM »
Correct on ID'ing Fuji K guides. They have a forward slant by design which is advertised to reduce tangles.
As far as size, they aren't smaller because they are K guides. The K guides are available up to size 50! They are smaller likely because of mass production and cost cutting. Smaller guide size = cheaper cost per unit. Gotta balance price point and profits.
As far as guide sizing and spinning reels... yes there are a few rules of thumbs as far as picking the optimum size guide. But manufacturers can't predict wether you'll mount a 5000 or 8000 or 12000 size reel so they choose something in ballpark range. As long as the line doesn't bunch up or slap the blank when casting you're good to go.
