Bassnatcher

We cast the rod with the right arm on both right and left handed baitcasters so theres nothing to adapt to there. I use LH bcasters only and im right handed. The whole designation is backwards. LH reels should actually be called RH. If a RH person makes the switch to LH they will realize this. I picked up my buddys RH reel and tried to cast. I noticed the star drag gear box and handle were hitting my knuckles on my right hand making it annoying to try and thumb the spool on a cast. A LH reel gives your fingers all the room in the world. I also noticed its not easy to convince someone to switch to LH reels. Im ambidextrous so i do everything with both hands except writing. Try this. Take your spinning reel. Switch the handle to the right side. Now go fishing. It'll take 2 casts before you realize how ridiculous it is to switch the rod from hand to hand each time you cast. Think about it....

Thanks for trying to help. I am not on Facebook so th as Y's not an option. I have a Galaxy S4 phone so not sure why I am not able to upload pictures. When I select the attachment icon on this site I am given 4 options. Camera, camcorder, voice recorder and documents. Gallery doesn't come up. I tried putting some pics on my 10 inch tablets screen and take a picture with my phone but got the pic size warning. I am really puzzled why gallery doesn't come up as an option. Oh well. I've really enjoyed reading all the posts on this thread about the bass raider. Nice to see others like this boat as much as me. Just wish I could post my pictures and possibly help others with what I've done. Going out Saturday to a hard to access lake. No houses on it. No docs only thick woods. Only one way on through a 40 foot spooky path of 12 foot high reeds. Got to push pole it. This keeps most people off the lake. But once you get in open water it's a bass anglers dream. Spring fed lake with shallows, deep holes, lily pads and reeds. This weekend will be the 5th week in a row my cousin and I have gone. The best part.....haven't seen one other person on the lake every time we've been there. Catching nice bass every time. Looks like they've never been hooked before and fight like it too! Lovin life right now.

Hello. This is a great boat. I've had mine for 3 years and have caught over 300 bass in it. I used to only paddle it. I made an 11 foot kayak paddle using a 9 foot steel clothes hanging rod and 2 paddle ends from a kayak paddle. Had to make it since no company makes one. Now I use a 30lb MK trolling motor mounted up front with the battery in the back for when I'm alone. When my cousin comes with me I mount his 55lb MK in the back. Both setups get us where we need to go. I prefer lakes that only kayaks and canoes can get on. This boat is perfect for that. I still bring my 11ft paddle since I need it when deep in the lilly pads here on the central FL lakes I fish. This paddle also works great as a push pole and I use it for that often. One of the paddle ends snapped off leaving 10% of the paddle end. I did not replace it since it still works as a paddle and I can use this end as the push pole end. I replaced my seats with some nice bass boat seats from Gander Mountain which cost about $214. Gets some good seats if you plan on being on your boat for 8 to 10 hours. I also made a transom mounted anchor deployment system. Works really well. I lined the floor with 1/2" closed cell foam then put 1/2" plywood on top. Makes standing and fishing a lot more stable than the stock plastic floor and it eliminates foot fatigue. I have not drilled any holes in my boat and don't plan to. The only way I would is if I could put a washer and nut on the inside but that's not possible unless you separate the top from the bottom. I know other people drill holes but this is my personal preference. I like not having to use a trailer. I just slide it into the bed of my jacked up Z71 and it's read to go. The only thing I have to buy now is lures, line and batterys. Life is good. For some reason I can't upload my pictures from my phone. I can only upload a picture by using my camera so next time I have my boat out I'll upload some pics.
