I would love to see the two miracle win teams face off in the bowl. Jags a team that scored 10points last week against the Bills scoring over 40 against the Steelers in Pittsburgh?!? And the Vikings all but sealed in their coffin the last nail about to be hammered in when they score a miracle touchdown. However reality forces me to chose Pats and Eagles next week. Patriots game not included the other 3 games were some of the best playoff football in recent memory.

Shimano, Daiwa or BPS

Patriots, Steelers, Falcons, Vikings

I am like you. I have my "waterproof" IPhone 7 in a waterproof cellphone case. It's doubly waterproofed! I do have a waterproof pouch that I can place it in and hang it around my neck. Problem is I use it to take photos of my catch. Fumbling around to free it with one hand tied up holding a fish is not easy.

Or a waterproof phone. They make those now.

Thanks for the reviews. How much is the Okuma Nomad? The Daiwa seems a bit expensive. IMO anything over $100 for a backpack is overpriced. That's just me though others might not think so. I do like that Booger box though. Also those of us that wear prescription sunglasses need a place to store our regular glasses so that holder is a nice extra.

KVD L&L I also like the Reel Snot with the java scent. The reels I use it on smell like a cup o' Joe.

It is hard to find a 6' medium casting rod. I have a 6' M Fenwick Eagle GT rod that size that gets a lot of use. I am going to miss it when it finally gives out as they don't make it anymore.

I use a auto inflate PFD as I like the open back and arm freedom it gives me. Most fisherman vest style PFD's have the floatation material around the waist and mesh on top for freedom of movement while rowing and casting. That's fine but the floatation being around the waist messes up the way I sit in my ergonomic kayak seat. I follow the less is more rule when kayaking. Less stuff with me means less stuff to lose if I have an accident. 2 Rods, usually a baitcaster for cranks and a spinning reel for dropshot and ned rigs. All my baits and tools fit in a shower caddy I place in the cockpit with me.

If you are new to baitcasters use mono

I don't know about the OP but mine is still kicking! Just make sure to oil it up every few trips. Mine is on a Abu Garcia Medium action Vengeance rod.

I like hybrids over straight Fluoro. The knot strength is everything and hybrids excel in this area. For low price and quality my favorite hybrid is Kastking Fluorokote.

Call me paranoid if you want but what if a high speed boat hits you? Just wear the PFD all the time as you never know what life is going to throw at you. My son and I canoe on a river that sees a lot of jet ski and water ski activity. Best be sure we have our PFD’s on as these boaters are often looking backwards at their skiers and not at what they could run into. Even if you are in a small lake with no speedy traffic you could pass out from low blood sugar, sunstroke, etc and fall into the water. The PFD saves you from being a tragic accident. Just wear the d**n thing!

Parts been found just waiting on the guy to install it. Should be here soon.

Well said. Wear Crocs and socks and learn the jellyfish float.

Sure we can talk. My knockoff Ozark Trail hopper cooler works just as well to keep drinks cold for a day on the lake. Just have to make sure it doesn’t tip over... Oh and it was less than $40

I was thinking the same thing but was afraid to ask. I have used baitcasters for dropshotting occasionally for the one handed approach you mentioned.

I can swim. Pretty much taught myself before I ever took a class. As I kid I had no fear of the water. Now I have a healthy respect.

If Lew’s was smart they would make a special edition BB1 reel painted White and Orange with a rebel alliance symbol on it. Star Wars fans would feel the power of the dark sides bait monkey!

Pros: easy to transport. Cons: A one piece is better in every other way.

Same here. Super Power all the way for me. I used to use Spiderwire and Power pro.

No it’s The inducer motor. The bearings are shot.

Star Wars the last Jedi and Jumanji welcome to the Jungle. Saw them both last weekend. Liked them both.

-4 and my furnace isn’t working. Trying to find the part on a Saturday is not looking to good.

Daiwa RG AB spinning reel $60 and a Powell Nuisance rod also $60 on clearance right now at Tackle Warehouse.
