FYI 20% off on all Irods @ Greenroom outdoors. I saw several kaimana rods and picked one up myself. I also saw a hard to find Seeker pinhead Sd8 if anyone is looking for one. That rod won’t last long.

I have my eye on both the Fathom 2 speed 15XN and 25N. How do you guys use these reels. 15XN Im looking at as a bait reel and the 25N a 40lb reel. Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks 🙏

Went on the Tribute on 8/5 for an overnight trip fishing 8/6. I’ve been eyeing weather reports and marine traffic hopping this trip would go offshore instead of chasing BFT. Capt Buzz (Prowler) ran the boat for this trip. Fishing was steady. 2nd and 3rd paddy stops produced Dorado and good size...

Saw this on Facebook. Be careful when throwing the iron. With the local bite picking up and crowded sport boats more will try to throw the iron w/o giving a heads up. Heck, even on my trip yesterday, had some kids trying to throw iron w/o giving a heads up. BE CAREFUL!

Fished Cat. Bait was chovies and dines. Had decent fishing. Fished the bow and threw the rubber and small mega bait. Landed a legal Cuda on the megabait and got two legal Calicos on the rubber. Lots of shorts thrown back. Wind picked up in the afternoon. Good times on the Sportking.

Going to make this short and simple. Went on the Sportking and fished Cat. Fished the backside starting from the Westend. Overall fishing was ok. First stop was steady fishing for Calicos (shorts), Yellows, and Bonitas. After that it was slim pickings for Yellows thanks to the seals. Fun times.

anyone care to share info about new items coming out for icast 2010. thanks!

cuda. seems like the lb boats are putting the hurt on them.

don't get me wrong, i love fishing long rods, but i think fishing a 9' rod is a little to much especially for the kelp and boilers. the length is great, but you have less leverage trying to pull fish out. in my personal opinion, 7'11" is perfect. not only does it give you the ideal length but it...

With decent numbers on the bass for the past two days, decided to give this boat a shot. Didn't know what to expect. Boy was I in for a surprise. First off, this boat is straight up odd. It's long and narrow. I think the stern went 14'. The boat also sits high off the water. Anyways, had 25...

These teams clearly drafted well: Jets, 49er's, Green Bay, Giants and the Ravens. I think Crabtree is a steal at 10. These teams wasted their draft pick are probably going to stink and find themselves in the top of next years draft: Raiders, Chargers, Lions. Why did the Lions give a $72 million...

I don't know if ya'll have gotten a chance to take a look at this reel, but this is one beautiful looking reel. I'm loving the two tone colors. Perfect! Now, only if I had $600 for the reel and another $1800 for a 8 dayer. One can only wish.

Where are the blanks made? China? USA? Thanks!

What would ya'll recommend? Need something light. Don't see to many graphite blanks that are 9'. Going to use it for throwing rubbers. Planning on wrapping it with no foregrip. Perhaps poodle grip the blank to reduce weight. Any info/suggestions will greatly help. Thanks in advance!
