Price too good to be true? This would be a sweet little rig for someone. https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/federal-way-key-west-yamaha-90hp-stroke/52VmEmd9R1r3CqanzPEjzD

I'll take both... to Baja! DM incoming

The boat that I will likely regret buying shortly after making the purchase which is likely sometime in the next year or so.

Part of me wants this. Our 1500 GMC can either tow a boat or haul the Scout. 250 diesel could do both.

^^ funny looking Honda on the back of that thing.

Aqualux taper shape and grains look similar to the CQS but at 30’ instead of 35’

When was the last time a swordfish "attacked" a surfer? https://www.instagram.com/reels/Dd34CpJPlMw/

Lamson liquid 3-packs gotta be the best bang for the buck for a proven quality reel. I saw some echo carbon and ion rods on sale online the other day too. Can’t remember where but I bet Google does.

Ha I've used both of those hooks for purely aesthetic reasons! Not sure it makes a difference to the fish. :)

If the fish liked it then who cares what we think? I’d crimp the barb and go a bit sparser. ;)

Interesting! Anyone ever tried that line, wondering how it’d do for chucking marlin flies. 43’ head is much longer than an OBS or leviathan.

I have been looking for 12wt intermediate lines but no luck. I have a couple 12 floaters and some fast sinkers but nothing in between. Fishpond packs look great but I picked up a Dryft pack so I gotta hold off.

Instead of mono I've used braid, intruder wire, or even Dacron backing. You'll find a material that has the stiffness you like. I've also tied them on shanks instead of sacrificing a hook in the front. Hook-wise, something with a turned eye seems to work well when looped onto the stinger loop...

Also huge Echo fan. Boost Blue was my favorite for SRC and coho until I found the 84B lineup. Luckily I have a spare busted tip from my BB 6wt so I guess it's about an 8'4" now ;)

Random trivial tidbit: I was standing next to Jim Cotton when he took that photo. Oct 21, 2010 big mixed up group of Risso's, melon headed whales, rough toothed dolphins, and Fraser's dolphins.
