At the top of the PVC pipe, put a T fitting on. Tie a loop of line, with a snap hook on it, through that T fitting. The snap hook adds another $1.50 to the price of the pole. I don't have the snap hook on mine as the pole fits through the circle fitting on my anchor trolley. I do clip the wade line ...

For the price of a Capt. Dicks stakeout pole, I could make a lifetime's supply of PVC poles for a dozen kayakers. Yes, it's a slick stakeout pole but $70 for a 4 foot pole to stick in the mud to hold you in place? It is the Rolls Royce of stakeout poles but I'll spend my money on something more impo...

Yes. A PVC pipe alone is too flexible. When you put the wooden dowel inside - and there is a perfect size dowel that requires a bit of tapping to get it in the PVC - it stiffens up nicely.

You've mentioned that spot before but the folks you fish with tell me you can never find it.

Hey Buc, do you need a chart?

I'd been fishing for years, many out of a flats boat. I kept finding areas that I couldn't get to so I considered a kayak. I'd thought about a kayak for quite some time so I did some research and 5 years ago bought a kayak. Then I found this site and realized I wasn't alone. Kayaking opened up a who...

Nice try

My first post stating that I would be fishing in Tampa and asking if others would be too resulted in meeting with five other gentlemen who were more than willing to show my fishing partner and I around the Ft. Desoto area. Ft Desoto is a long way from being a 'secret spot'. Within Ft Desoto, there ...

......definitely not on an open forum..... IMO, that is the gist of this discussion. We all share 'secret spots' with fishing buddies who know treat the info with care. However, when you post on an open forum, you can almost be guaranteed that you will have many new folks at that secret spot who wi...

I usually do a complete tear down of my Stradics once a year. All the way apart. Keep the manual with the schematic handy. The Shimano website has some full page schematics you can download. They are much easier to read than the one in the manual you got with the reel. I clean off any grease/oil on ...

Favorite reel- When this board started there were about 15 regulars. I think we all used Stradics. I don't think any of us do anymore. Oh, I think they are still being used, just not being bought anymore. It really is a shame. Shimano Stradics owned the market. Now people don't even look at them wh...

One more for the Quantums. I dunked a Cabo. A good 30 second or more dunk while I wasn't paying attention. Just to give one a good workout and see what it's made of, I did not rinse it with fresh while in the kayak and only gave it a regular wash off like I always do when I got home. I have a bunch ...

How much line do you have? 15' of line can't get that tangled.

No, neither provide sting ray protection.

I have one pair of Shimano boots that have a hole in them just above the ankle from a sting ray. Now, maybe if I'd had the low tops on the barb may have penetrated deeper but either way, it got me.
