I had my 7 on the 1.5", didnt hold worth a damn. Ball was destroyed the first year, had to buy a new one. My 10 used to be on the 2.5", in rough water, it slowly moves down. I didnt trust it, so i replaced it with more of a fixed mount. Didnt want it moving to hit the windshield or dash. Maybe i was just unlucky with mine.

The savvys aren't the greatest. The only one i own is the 735 for frogs. Other than that my rod collection are split between Dobyns and G loomis. Currently have a Savvy 735, Champ 734 735, Glass 704 705 765, Dx 744 745 795. Too many!

VLC, whatever doesnt play on there, SM Player.

I'm not a fan of ram mounts. In rough water mine would go down so i sold them. Unfortunately they work out best on some windshield models. If you do decide on it, make sure you get the 2.5" ball. I use a johnny ray 207 and a Cisco Mount for my HDS 10.

If you don't mind used, good deals always pop up on BBC. Just picked up a hds10 gen 2 for 1300 shipped, year and a half left on warranty.

Love my opti.

Which boat from Lund? Id go for the Alumacraft op. That was one of my few choices a few years ago when i was purchasing. Solid boats.

Max out the Lowe. Nice boat.

Yep. Ruins the game.

Bad hit, terrible reffing in general

Thats the way i like it. Land the fish in the vinyl area, decks both carpeted. After a full day in the sun, the vinyl is ridiculously hot

I bought a new lund 2 years ago. I got vinyl in the cockpit, carpet up on the front and back decks. The vinyl definitely gets hot. Sucks when your barefoot.

Hands down best. Only braids i use. Although i dont use it for many applications. I had suffix for a bit, didnt have any problems, the colour bled pretty quickly. Only reason its not on my reel is because my friend thought he could use a baitcaster and completely ruined the line after his first cast.

Dont have one but have used a friends, nice reel. Nothing bad to say about it. He used it primarily casting 3/8-3/4oz and it worked perfectly.

They have a game tomorrow. Why waste energy.

When i used to use braid i only put around 60 yards and with mono backing. No need to use the entire spool, gets expensive when filling a lot of reels

I was yelling grabo the whole time

what the hell were they thinking. Really Dion on the shootout.

Wiziwig

They did alright. Need to get Dion off the pp. Awful

3/8-1. Worm and jig rod

If you ever make it by Dixie/qew, i can give you a bps extreme 6'6 mh. Was my first rod but hasn't been used in years.

Thanks for the responses. Tough decision. A friend who is tagging along has a make a stop in virginia. So we may situate ourselves closer to that area.

The daiwa lexa is a good reel for the price. If your starting out, i would recommend the shimano citica or curado. Easy to cast with. The extreme is also a decent reel, my brother started with it.

Thanks for the insight. Just realized that looking up a few of the closer States. What ever well be fishing for will always be catch and release.
