No pictures at the moment but I've got a 14' jon boat with a 9.9 and trolling motor. I've got a bass boat type deck up front and fishing style pedestal seats. I use it exclusively for bass in 10hp restriction lakes around here and in a couple of the bigger lakes during the "off season" (September-May). I fish in a couple of smaller lakes (<50 acres) in a 10' Ascend kayak. I bass fish mostly but catfish every now and then when a fish fry is in order.

Some day I will have to take a pic of all of my Lake Superior rods. I have 6 7' rods with Daiwa 27 line counters loaded with 65lb PowerPro. All of my reels are loaded with at least 200 yards of 65lb PowerPro. I have 2 10'6" rods that are setup for slide divers with Daiwa 47 series line counters. 2 8"6" rods with Daiwa 47 line counters for dipsy divers. 2 8'6" rods with Daiwa 47 line counters ans filled with 1000' of steel line. 1 8'6" rod 10 colors of lead, 1 with 5 colors, 1 with 3 and 1 with 2 colors of lead. Not sure if I have missed any but I also have reels that I am rebuilding to make a few more setups.

What the hell are you fishing for in freshwater that you need steel line?

The steel line is to get your line down deeper. You can also buy copper line for the same reason. The pound test is right around 45lb on my steel.


I should also add that I buy my reels used off Ebay. I really want ones that are broken or at least say they don't work or have missing parts. I have not found one yet that was truly broken. I clean and rebuild them with carbon drags.
