I’ve had a Waeco for about 20 years, has always worked great. My understanding is that they were acquired by dometic a short time after. It was expensive, but I think it has been worth it. I think the dometic equivalent today is roughly the same price it was when I bought it.

Terrific, keep all my used shells to reload, so I’ll give that a try. Thank you!

I have meant to ask you this for a while and keep forgetting. I tried using my NRS mini aluminum oar locks after reading this as I’m not a big fan of the striker’s oar locks, but the shafts on the NRS oar locks don’t fit into the plastic bushings. If I don’t use the bushings, there is a lot of...

Gawesworrh describes the cast with a dip.

This is not new, it is behavior that has gone on as long as I have been fishing and I see old time photos that show it has gone on way before my time when there were a lot fewer people on the planet. It sucks, but it is not a sign of the times.

That looks like what I have from an earlier Scadden boat that I had. It is actually a motor mount.

I wanted to make a frame for the striker, I don’t know that I needed to but wanted to. There are times when I wrench hard on the oars in the striker and you feel the raft giving in a bit. I thought in some more technical water I’d appreciate a frame. However, the cost of the frame parts were so...

I got to finally take mine out at the beginning of March. I’m really happy with it, but I’ll still be using the striker more until I get a trailer. I broke the frame down in 3 sections and deflated it to put it in the back of my Tacoma. It fits like that, is not very different in setup time from...

To be honest, I think I’ll probably not worry about it. I have had only a couple of run ins over the years, they have not been a problem for me. I was intrigued by it last year when a fella I was fishing with had it told me about it and showed me his. To be honest, I’m more concerned for my dog...

Curious if any of you in rattler country use snake shot/rounds in any of your pistols? I was introduced to the ability to do this last fall. I’m wondering if for those that do carry snake rounds or have carried them feel it actually does the job. My quick internet search revealed conflicting...

I believe those walker bay boats can be a little sailboat too.

Cool, I just googled your setup and watched a video with someone scooting up a really shallow river. One day I’d have to consider something like this. I’m often on my own and the times I don’t go because a shuttle is available would no longer be an issue plus I wouldn’t have to pay for a...

Seems like a lot of these options sound like good old fashion tackle boxes.

True. I had to try a couple times for one river before the one I tried to select came up.

I did too. So far it is way better. Very quick, the old one was very sluggish. In addition to tides, they include river gauge data which is pretty cool. This appears to be a step in the right direction.

I believe this has been around for quite some time. I have one, but got it used with a frame, and I bought it for the frame and have never used the raft. I would reach out to Dave (formerly with catchercraft) as I think they made the frame for the raft. So he should have an opinion, and I...

That particular instance I was turkey hunting. Sometimes the good spots are on the other side of the river. That being said, I probably upland hunt in waders more times than not. We like to mix it up a bit on our floats. My avatar is of my partner.

I just realized I left out my favorite fishing rig in my earlier post. I have the Scotty rod holder for the back, it attaches to the luggage frame between the seat and the pannier. I can carry either a Spey rod or single hander setup and ready to go. I don’t have any shots with the Spey rod but...

You win

This is a great deal. I fish with Peter from time to time. He takes really good care of his stuff. I’m amazed at how clean his truck is each time I see it. I feel guilty every time I climb inside that I’m going to mess it up. I also have owned one of these rafts for a few years now. I don’t...
