I started a log five years ago...it has turned into an invaluable resource. Last time I checked, I had detailed descriptions of ~750 separate trips in both salt and fresh water. I keep track of what was caught, the tides, lures used, locations fished, and any other pertinent information that could b...

captjake, I don't know exactly when the first Chronarch was introduced, but I'm guessing 15 years ago. The current model has been produced for about 10 years I believe.

I know it's the most popular thing going now, but I'm not a real big fan of the Tarpon 140. It is a well thought-out kayak from a layout standpoint, but it definitely has some drawbacks.

This is an interesting thread...confirms what I've heard about Stradics the past year or so. I am confused though as to why almost everyone that has posted here is using spinning tackle? Conventional reels offer MUCH better line control, better drag systems (in general), improved accuracy/subtle lan...
