I am a Daiwa fan.

 

Old post, but I will second the Daiwa.  Tatula CT Type R paired with 13 Fishing Omen Black has been my favorite combo for a while now.

So my oldest daughter did a job shadow with Jordan's dad this week, and overhead Dr. Lee telling someone that Jordan will end up with three new boats now.  How nice it must be!

Second reel I purchased was a Team Daiwa baitcast reel 1984..........back then Bass Pro Shops had C.O.D............was 40 bucks short but dad carried me lol

 

Last bass reels I purchased were 2 Shimano 200e7's and a Shimano ej 301........ej is a little overkill for bass so I use it for pig n jig ,frog and swimbaits.

I have a dozen or so cedar trees blocked down in this area. It’s my favorite spot for decades. We put them out 8-9 years ago. Last year I got in there with extremely low water level and marked all them on my new HB688. Before that I could find them without gps as they were bigger. They have deteriorated. I only found two Monday.

Very nice............At 6'5 320 belly boats, bass hunters and kayaks waved bye bye several years back.......If not for the cronic nerve pain Ive suffered for past 25yrs(manageable till 2008) always wanted to try kayak fishing.

Nothing gives a better appreciation for nature than a good fishing trip. Here's to catching a limit

I love the kayak. I have two boats that only get wet when I take someone with me. That morning I was supposed to take my 81 year old neighbor. I went to his house to get him. ( thankfully before I got it loaded down and connected to the truck). His wife said he already went with another friend. She apologized for him standing me up. But I joked ( not really joking) that I was glad he was out of the picture so I could go yakking instead. 

But you are correct as far as back pain. I have been blessed with good luck most my life with my back.  Some days in the kayak hurts a good back.

I got one limit last year and a couple of near limits. I don’t keep 9” crappie. If I have to measure them I release. So I don’t drag in 30 very often. The guy I fish with the most that got me interested in kayaks is the best fisherman I have ever known or heard of. He can limit out nearly any day of the year. He doesn’t keep anything over about 13”. I have watched him release 15-17” fish literally dozens of times. 

[kevon67 2,368]

When I was in my late teens I had an 8lb 11oz and a 7lb 2oz mounted.........lost both in hurricane Katrina.

With cameras so readily available I release all bass I catch..........

Got a late start this year for bass as January and February are my favorite big bass months....

I cant stay long as I would like........my mind is up for it......back wont allow it..........very thankful for the time I do spend?
