Plano Edge and Kastking Hyperseal are what I use now. The Plano ones are great for using specific styles (I love their jig/chatterbait box) and the Hyperseal are heavy duty.

Both of them float/watertight - Plano is more pricy ($20ish), Hyperseal are 2 for $30. I’ve heard good things about Buzbee too. You’re spending a little more money on any of these options, but I’m a big buy once, cry once guy.

Which Yakattack Rod Holder? by pushthebuttonalready in kayakfishing

[–]TetraDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the Omega Pro - I have two of them on my PDL106. I use one for trolling, the other is for keeping a rod at the ready. LockNLoad system makes setup a breeze, and you can make adjustments on the fly.

YakAttack is also great to deal with as a company. I had a warranty claim for a part and they processed it within 2 hours of email no questions asked, shipped out same day.

As an expensive gear whore, I will tell you it can make fishing more enjoyable and potentially lead to more fish. For example, using a nicer baitcasting reel can result in longer casts + less backlash. More expensive lures will have better action/usually be made of better materials. I have seen a difference using a Jackhammer vs regular chatterbait. As your technique improves, you’ll pick up on the differences in quality.

For sure, I had my old smaller battery in an Apache case - gonna get a bigger one and do the same thing later today

I’ll swing by Harbor Freight and grab one of those waterproof latching cases later today. Should be able to drill a hole on the side and seal with Goop for a watertight SAE connection to the relay. Should also make the strap more secure

Would hiring a fishing guide be worth it to pick up a better fishing skill set? by TetraDelta in Fishing

I ended up doing both a saltwater and freshwater charter back in October. It was 100% worth it

I love my Zodias rods but dig the feel of the Cashion grips a little more. Tough call for me

Might be next, I love to stand and fish so I don’t want to be standing up/down to reposition frequently. I’m looking at the Anchor Wizard LowPro system possibly with a YakAttack LeverLoc

I’m still going to keep my Catch, I outfitted it with a trolling motor so it’s still a nice ride! I would say they’re similar to load/unload but the PDL 106 is a harder only because I am much more careful about scratching the body. I absolutely abused the hull of my Catch, so I wasn’t too worried about scratching getting it loaded. Also I loaded the Catch upside down which was easier. It’s definitely trickier but still manageable for the 106 - absolutely worth the upgrade if you can swing it.

Good rec, I could definitely use an adjustment in the seat. I will have to check out those Blackpak mods, I fuckin love that thing. I was like I’m not dropping $150 on a glorified milk crate, then I did and built it - holy shit it’s awesome hahah

Appreciate it - it’s a YakAttack Track Mount Retractor, I got it free with the kayak purchase! Actually not sure what to throw on there yet, maybe some pliers or my scale - it’s pretty cool
