Make your own stringer line

Consider instead of a game clip make your own stringer just like the ones you use for trout. Just use a longer metal stake of piece of solid metal dowel rod (12" or so long, 1/4" diameter... bought...

I've used SPOT

Dave:

The Spot Tracker works well, and is very effective, but it takes on average 10-20 minutes to guarantee a satellite hit.

Bring 2 radios (JIS7 submersible), not one. I suggest Standard...

different perspective

2-speed reels are nice and very durable. I've been launching thru the surf since 2000, and carried Shimano's, Diawas, and AVETS in 1 and now 2 speed. No mechanical problems, and they perform...
