If you let the back seat up you can lay the rods across the center console with handles under the left rear seat and most likely get 8' rods in there. That works in my Chevrolet but is no good if you have a passenger that wants to ride up front. They can always ride in the right rear seat.?
Yes I've fished it 8 - 10 trips. Caught a few schooling LM, stripers, and hybrids. It cast great flying tail first. Walking it is very easy and the hooks are good. I've thrown it on 65 lb braid and 25 lb CXX and it performs fine on either with no fouling on the front hook. You will need a swimbait rod and a reel that'll hold enough line.
I enjoy both also. I fish once a week with a friend that just wants to catch bass. When I go alone I'm slinging big swimbaits and that's definitely not a number producing technique.
Goodluck retrieving your reel and I hope your uncle is ok. Ten bad trips can be easily forgotten by one tremendous day. I myself had a great day being the net man for my partner. I caught one while he caught 11 and I'm good with that. I joke and tell him I've got more fishing days left because he's 10 years older
I buy a 2 year Sportsman license. It covers everything but the Federal Duck stamp & Alligator tag. Set the alarm in my phone calendar one week prior to the expiration date.
Not a Daiwa guy. Love my Shimanos. But if I'm flipping or throwing frogs with heavy braid I'm using my Revos. The 65 lb braid and strong drag helps stop them from running under the pads/weeds/trees. Revo toro beast is too much reel unless you're throwing big baits. I agee with BassWhole! that 10 lbs of drag for stripers is plenty.
Just saw your last post. Goodluck with your Tatula. Lots of guys use and like them.
I use small neddle nose pliers. One side of the pliers on the center of the E-clip and the other on the other side of the rod/pin I'm putting it on. Just squeeze. Offers more control than trying to push it on. Hope that makes sense. I remove them with a pick while covering escape with my finger.
