I've been using my old Kayak for the rivers. I am going to sell the Ctug cart, but not sure if it worth it to ship. I'll be selling my Garmin 93sv as soon as I figure out what's wrong with the transducer. Garmin is waiting for me to get it back on the water to troubleshoot before they'll decide to replace it. I also have a 18ah Dakota Lithium battery I want to sell but doubt I can ship it. All that has been used 3 times.

It's been better since I had the nerves burnt off 2 months ago. I've been able to Kayak the river a handful of times and caught around 50 smallies. Still can't go often or for very long, but it's better than nothing.

Shimano Vanford = Sold Tatula Type-R =Sold Costa Sunglasses = Sold Rod Mule = Sold Metanium = Sold Conquest = Sold Everything else still available.

Vanford is sold. Tatula may also be sold. Here is a pic of the SLX DC.

Here is the Tatula CT Type-R. I forgot to add that I'm including the reel cover shown in the picture. And all the reels come with the original box.

I was going to wait until after I had listed this stuff on FB for awhile before I considered dropping prices but I have yet to list it anywhere else yet. So here are a some price drops on everything except the Xtasy. Remember that shipping and full insurance is included and you can subtract $35 if you buy 2 rods.

Thanks for the kind words. I hope to be able to get out this weekend and try to get a few casts in and see how it is. The main problem is that I can't sit for more than 20 minutes which makes kayaking impossible. I had just got a new kayak, Garmin 93sv, Dakota Lithium 18aH battery, new paddle, kayak cart, net, and was only able to go on two short test runs to test out the fish finder before I hurt my back. So I'm likely also going to have sell a lot of that eventually. I'm very sorry it took me this long to respond. I expected notification of any replies to come through my email just like with pm's. I never received anything so I assumed there were no replies. If I was on my desktop I would've checked the site everyday, but still getting used to being regulated to my phone. Yes, it's yours if you want it, just send me a PM. Sorry for the late response, please read my reply above for an explanation.

I injured my back at the beginning of last season and wasn't able to continue fishing and despite getting pain injections, it looks like I won't be doing much fishing this year either and doctor bills suck. So, there's no point in me holding onto some of my higher end gear right now, so I'd figured I'd let someone else enjoy them. I've already sold a lot of my gear last winter, but I've held onto these items because they were my absolute favorite of the 30+ rods that I've had. All three of these rods are actually VERY lightly used because I really only got to fish with them one full season, a season that that I fished with over 30+ rods. Prices include $35 for shipping, full insurance, sign on delivery. Rods will be shipped in the same kind of tube similar to Tackle Warehouse. I've sold lots of rods in the past, including on this site and have never had any problems. Two rods can be combined to save $35. If I have a tube that will fit all 3, you can save $70. $485 - Shimano+G-Loomis/Conquest 743c - Excellent Condition - The best rod overall rod that I've ever used and I've used A LOT of rods. $335 - Dobyns Xtasy 723c - Excellent Condition - The best light duty utility rod that I've ever used. It's perfect for worming, ned rigging, and can throw treble hook baits very well. What amazed me the most is how well it throws an 1/8 oz. ned rig. It's also the best looking rod that I've owned. $285 - Custom X-Ray MB-736c - Very Good Condition - I built this rod myself and I only list it as very good condition because some of the epoxy work isn't 100% perfect, but that doesn't affect the performance in anyway and it's an awesome looking rod, IMO. It also has Torzite guides like the Conquest and Xtasy, plus it has a carbon fiber grip and reel seat. All reel prices include shipping and insurance. You can save $5 for each additional reel you buy. $280 - Shimano Metanium (RH) (6.2) - Excellent Condition - Not much usage. $170 - Shimano Vanford (2500) - Like New - Used less than 5 hours (I hate spinning gear, but just had to have a Vanford) $120 - Daiwa Tatula CT Type-R (LH) (7.3) - Excellent Condition - Very little use at all, just couldn't get use to a left handed reel. $140 - Shimano SLX DC (RH) (7.2) - Excellent Condition - More use than those above, but still not a lot of usage compared to my other reels. $110 - Shimano XT (RH) (6.3) - Very Good Condition - I used this for crank baiting, which is something I ended up doing a lot of after I got this real about 3 years ago. It's had about a full season of good use, but is still in very good condition with just a few slight cosmetic imperfections that are barely noticeable unless you hunt for them. OTHER FISHING STUFF - (Prices include shipping.) $35 - Cal Coast Rod Mule - I've only used this three times, because I don't have a boat and usually only take a limited number of rods with me so I used a smaller bag. I have loaded it up with 10 rods with reels on them, 8 baitcasters and 2 spinning rods and they did fit, although I wouldn't recommend carrying that many if the reels are attached. If you're not sure what this is, https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Cal_Coast_Fishing_Rod_Mule_Rod_Carrying_System/descpage-CCFRM.html $300 - GoPro Hero 8 + 5 Batteries + 128 GB SD Card + GoPro 8 Floaty + Power Bank + Head Strap + Charger Works like it should. It has a few small cosmetic imperfections. One battery is starting to swell up and probably won't last much longer from me running it 10 hours in the hot sun. I bought the Floaty ($30) to go over it because I lost my previous GoPro at the bottom of a lake. The power bank is around 5,000 mah, I can't quite remember and it's packed up already, but it's not a huge one. IMO, the head strap or hat clip is the best way vantage point to record. ------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't uploaded any pics yet, because it's hard enough to sit at my desktop to post this as it is and my pics would need shrunk down before I posted them and I would still only be able to post so many a day due to the limits on this site. Everything looks like it should, the thing that needs a pic the most is the custom x-ray. I will get pics up as soon as I can, but if you're interested before then and want some pics, PM me. For the record, I'm only keeping two of my bass setups, I've sold 30+ now, mainly because of my back injury. Tatula rod and Tatula SV reel. Custom Phenix X-10 and Shimano SLX MGL

SJ-736 & MB-7109 has been sold. Prices on the other rods will likely go up due to the increase for shipping prices since I last sold any rods.

Thanks, I think the prices are great and I'm taking a pretty big hit on them. I'm just wanting some extra cash for a Sportsman 106 MK. I'm very surprised I haven't got much interest in them. I'm not going any lower that's for sure. If I didn't have some other customs, a Conquest and Xtasy I wouldn't be selling them in the first place.

Dropping the prices. Refer to the first post for rod components. Price also now includes free shipping for everyone except CA, HI, AK. Each X-Ray's price has dropped a total of $50 with the free shipping included. $200 - X-Ray MB-733 - 7'3 ML Spinning $250 - X-Ray MB-736 - 7'3 MH Casting $200 - X-Ray SJ-736 - 7'0 H Casting $175 - X-Ray MB-7109 - 7'6 Mag-H Casting $115 - Costa Del Mar Men's Tico Blue Mirrored 580G Polarized Sunglasses Here's more pics of the MB-736 & SJ-736 and I'll upload more of the other rods when I'm allowed. More Pics of the X-Ray SJ-736

It gave me a water temp reading, but no depth reading and I don't know what's up with the sonar. It's my first FF so I have no clue what the problem is, I'm just wondering if anyone has had their screen appear like this and if so what the problem was. Thanks!

Here's the pics of the Tatula Rod & Costa 580G TiCo Sunglasses. I have a few more pics of the sunglasses but I'm getting an error for some reason.

I wanted to share a reply I gave to someone asking a question for some more insight on the custom rods for transparency.

I've used these rods for one season and all of them have passed the durability test. I just have too many rods to make good use of them. Some of you have probably seen my rod collection before and know what I'm talking about. These rods might have some minor scuffs or scratches on some of them, especially around the logo section. I only put the rod specs label on one of the customs, but they are easy to tell apart because they are different colors. The epoxy on some of them isn't as perfectly even as some production rods, but those are minor cosmetic issues and in most cases unnoticeable unless you know they're there and they don't affect the performance of the rod. If there ever if a problem with a rod, I will work with you to fix the rod the best I can. Payment for these items will only be accepted from PayPal from the registered email linked to your PayPal account. You will receive an invoice to your email once the terms are agreed to. Once the payment is received, your rod/rods will be shipped with insurance and with sign on delivery. Shipping can be combined for 2 rods, but I don't think I can safely fit any more than two in any of my tubes. SORRY NO TRADES! I'm limited in the number of pics I can upload at once, so I'll try to upload more everyday. But, I'll list the components for the rods below the pics.

PRICE = $90 For sale is a pair of lightly used Costa Blue Mirror Tico (Glass) Sunglasses. These are the more expensive glass lens, rather than the plastic lens. I received another pair of Costa Green Mirror Brine Glasses and they are too similar so I'm selling this pair for a great deal as to not be rude and sell the pair given to me as a gift. https://www.costadelmar.com/en-us/sunglasses/6S9036-97963818575 PRICE = $130 --------------------------------------- All of the custom rods are priced below what it cost just for me to buy the components to build the rod, not including the hours of work, tools and equipment used to build them. PM if interested.

That's the route I'm going to take. Thanks for that, it does help to see it.

I bought a Native Slayer PDL first, but I couldn't use the pedals very good due to a weak leg from brain surgery. I tried out a friends first, but apparently not long enough. I got tired of waiting for the Sportsman 106 MK to come in stock for over a year and ended up finding the topwater on sale locally. So, I'll still be paddling for awhile. That's the net I mentioned earlier about modifying to make it longer.

The Ego's are a little more than I want to pay, but what do you think about this net, the handle retracts from 35 to 56". It was one of the first ones I looked at and it has nice big rubber netting that should move through the water easier. https://www.amazon.com/Wakeman-Fishing-Retractable-Rubber-Landing/dp/B01F3L668K/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8&th=1

Got ya, I'll go with the LeverLoc then, thanks.

Do you know if there's a big advantage between this kit over the YakGear Deluxe Anchor Trolley Kit? Or if I could at least change the color of the rope, the orange and black doesn't sit well with me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0097N2HNY/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1CUI4TPR7GFPF&psc=1

Yes, I'm not real sure how long of a net I really needed, and yes I thought I would've be able to flip it open somehow when as I'm getting ready to net a fish. About how long of a handle do most people need to net a fish from a high sitting seat in a yak? I considered the YakAttack Leverage Landing Net, but I'm worried about spending that much for one that doesn't float. https://www.fishingonline.com/collections/kayak-accessories/products/yakattack-leverage-landing-net?variant=4817955913761 If I'm not going to have it collapsed while on the kayak, then I might just do what I was originally going to do and that was buy the net Greg Blanchard uses and add 2 ft. of PVC pipe to it.

I picked up a new kayak and would like to get this YakAttack Kayak LeverLoc HD Anchor Trolley, unless somebody knows of a better one. But my worry is of course is about drilling into the side of my kayak where the inside of the hull is open. Thoughts? (Kayak = Old Town Topwater 106) My 2nd question is about fishing nets for kayaks since I'm now going to sitting up a lot higher, I'm in need of a longer net and I would like to get one that's friendly to fish and treble hooks, but one that stores easily because I will rarely need to use it as I usually catch smaller fish that I can just flip up. The net I'm considering is https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Ranger_Nets_Pro_Floating_Collapsible_Fish_Landing_Nets/descpage-RPFX.html Let me know if you think that is a good net or if you would recommend something different. Thanks!
