Daiwa Tatula sv tw 100 and Dobyns Fury FR733C. Thinking 50 lb braid and fluorocarbon leader for this setup. Topwater, senko and flukes.
Should pick it up on Friday.
I bought a Native Slayer Propel 10 lte. Working on getting it organized. Recommendations for these items?
Considering getting a MH fast 7'2" Expride primarily for texas rig worms and jigs. I currently use a Dobyns Fury 7' MH fast. I will pair it with a Curado 200m and 15lb Seaguar flurocarbon. Is the Expride significantly more sensitive than the Fury?
For me, Abu Garcia Ambassadeur 521 XLT Plus. Life time warranty too!
Tie Boss hoist system? Wall mounted kayak rack? Other options? I want it out of the way and allow me to pull my truck into the garage.
Likely buying a Native Slayer Propel 10 lte.
I have pretty much decided on a Native Slayer Propel 10 lte. Reasoning is weight, haul in bed of truck, no trailering, need to handle it by myself, pedal drive as I am 70 years old in good health but thinking pedal drive will be less exertion. I plan to fish on near by lakes. Will definitely get a kayak cart.
I have no place to park a trailer. So, a bigger kayak is out.
I looked at the Bonafide SS107, but it doesn't pedal drive. Paddle only.
I also looked at the Old Town Sportsman Pdl106. But, it is heavier than the Native.
Anything else to consider? I am in North Texas area.
TKell notified me it was shipped today. Woohoo!

Budget is $200. Bank and kayak fishing. Looking at Falcon Lowrider Amistad and Dobyns Fury. Med Heavy or heavy fast.
Ideas?
Looks like most of my reels are almost 20 yrs old or older.
Shimano Citica 200E (×2), Shimano Citica 200D, Citica 100DSV and Abu Garcia Ambassador 521 Flipping.
For rods, I have a Wright & McGill Skeet Reese 7'2" Jig/Worm, Falcon Lowrider 6'6" Med/Hvy, Falcon Lowrider 6'6" Medium and an American Rodsmith 6'6" Med/Hvy and a BPS XPS Xtreme medium
All are in decent working condition. I currently have the skeet Reese set up with a frog. The American Rodsmith is my worm rod. The Falcon Lowrider med/hvy has a topwater, The Falcon Lowrider medium has a crankbait. The BPS XPS Xtreme medium has a chatterbait.
Anything stand out as candidates for upgrade?

I bought a Shimano Sahara 1000 and an Okuna UL 6'6" rod. Looking forward to using it this weekend.
I bought a new UL spinning rod and reel. Shimano Sahara 1000 and Okuna Celilo 6'6" UL Spinning rod. Looking forward to catching crappie and other pan fish from local lakes and ponds in North Texas. I spooled it up with Trilene XL 4 lb test mono.
Why doesn't Bradford ditch their leather sheath? I like their knives, but the sheath is pretty useless. Having to buy a kydex sheath makes the Bradford knives too expensive compared to the competition, imho.
