Super User Jar11591 Posted May 7, 2016 Super User Posted May 7, 2016 My local DSG starting carrying this "Jawbone" tackle, or this is the first I have noticed it. They had spinnerbaits, frogs and jigs. They were all pretty inexpensive so I figured I would give them a try. 2 Quote

Is that the color you wanted? In my case I wasn't sure what color I liked better, but when I saw mine in person in Blue Camo, I was like that's the color! The only thing I've had issues with are the bungees coming out of the flush mounted rod holders. For some reason mine frayed where they come out of the rod holder. So now I have the rubber strands exposed, Also make sure the screws that secure the metal seat clamp tabs are in tight, and check them on occasion because they tend to loosen up from all that swivel action when removing the seat. I know because I lost one including the black plastic washer. Those are the only issues I've came across. Quote

I've already made myself a hand paddle for small adjustments while stopped and fishing but I will definitely be getting the rudder kit sooner than later.  1 Quote

Yeah that is the knock on it tracking wise. In all the pro reviews I read, they said it tracks good for what it is, but they do recommend getting the rudder kit for the best tracking. I don't really have an issue with it because this is the only yak I've been in and owned so I wouldn't know what good tracking smells like... Quote

Plus I would mount it from the rear... So to speak. I had it to a science, but it sucked after a long day of fishing. I carry mine the same way. 74 pounds would be way too heavy for me. That's why I got the Eddyline Caribbean 12. 45 lbs. I had the factory install scotty mount bases for me at the factory. They were real nice about it. So If I'm going out in some big water I can deploy the stabilizers and i'm essentially fishng from a jon boat I just got this in the mail yesterday............Ain't she purty?

S. Sass Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 This counts as a problem with spending money to fish for me. I have never bought more than a jon boat.  Anyway yesterday I picked it up. Still needs some cleaning I just hosed it off on my way home yesterday. Its 18ft 2000 model with a 115 Johnson so nothing to fancy. 11 Quote

Nice DIY hand paddle, and it can also second as a pizza peel 2 Quote

On a few occasions though I have left all of my money in the car except for a $10 bill if I'm just going in to buy a pack of hooks. (I still end up going down every aisle and scope out what I'll buy next time) 2 Quote
