  1. Island Beach State Park. I park in the lot and walk the beach. Barnegat Light SP. fish from the concrete walkway. Manasquan Inlet. Fish from Pt Pleasant Side or Manasquan Side.
  2. Lots of reviews around. It’s been around a long time. Rugged reliable with stainless steel gears. The level wind doesn’t disengage when you cast it. Some see that as a plus while others a minus. Has a spool clicker which is a rarity in low pros. Reel usually sells for 250-300 bucks.
  3. I was checking out my wish list on Amazon and noticed that the Okuma Komodo 471P price has dropped to 150 bucks if anyone is interested.
  4. Salmon fishing in Yemen- part fishing movie, part love story. The River Why- really good, gets away from it all to a cabin on a steelhead stream. Man’s Favorite Sport- oldie w Rock Hudson. Classic. One of my favorites
  5. Watershed dry bags are pricey but get excellent reviews and made in the USA.
  6. Do the smaller bolt cutters cut better than the larger diagonal pliers ?
  7. Whatever combo you have will be fine for chunking. Just think of the rods, reels, lines used by the surf fisherman in 1940’s and 50’s.
  8. I thought I read on here a few months ago that there were discontinuing it but coming out with an upgraded model for surf.
  9. 550 Paracord might make a better loop. Maybe cut and use existing strap. Cut piece of strap, melt the ends so it doesn’t fray, loop through bag loop, insert a metal or aluminum ring and sew loop closed w upholstery thread.
  10. I would check out Salmon/Steelhead rods for that range.
  11. Have made several high end reel orders from Digitaka in Japan. Arrived in a few days, free shipping, and no extra duties.
  12. Obenoffs and Huber make good leather grease. I would grease is what you to penetrate and preserve. I also use Ballistrol spray on my Manley pliers and leather sheath because it’s good for metal and leather both.
  13. This has been discussed numerous times. Do a search there’s lot of content to read. Those that use Boga’s , like me, love them and feel the they’re worth the money. I’ve had mine over 20 years and still works like new. I have the small 15 lb model. As for the scale I can’t comment because I never found a reason for weighing a fish. Use mine mostly for handling toothy fish.
  14. Medium to Medium-Light freshwater gear is perfect. I use 2500 size gear, 6’6” - 7’ ft med-light rod, 15lb braid. Single or Tandem-rigged fin-s fish w light jig heads.

    Boga question

    I’ve been using the smallest (15 lb) Boga for over 20 years. Perfect for preventing injuries when toothy fish and treble hooks are involved.
