My rat rod
Some very nice people has help me put this thing together,,,, 3yr ago Scott's bait and tackle put ss sleeves  4.1 gears and ht-100,,,had a aftco butt and a new set of rollers mac stout at Crowder rods built me this custom  rod for $98 dollars  ;D ,,,,,sal hooked me up with the t-handle and the owner of where I work gave me the leather  for the drag patch and he said that's stuff expensive! you know how much that costs let me tell you it expensive!  ::)

sooo, this reel its to catch the big turttle?  ;D ;D


by the way, how did you made the drag patch? I have some leather pieces that i can use to made something like that
I work at a belt shop we replace conveyor belts and we use alligator clips ,,,,I had to open the clips put in a drill bit that's a little bigger than the post,,,,even up the clips with the leather belt and clamp it down in a vice take out ,,,drill out the holes for the staples or if you got room for bolts and nuts ? What size reel I can send you some clips ,,,,,this rod likes the lake and head boats  :D

Benni,
When I lived in middle Tennessee chicken livers fished below the thermocline was a primary tactic for targeting the hybrids in those big lakes. Many times, I saw livers outfish livebait for hybrids (not stripers though). Cheers!

that rod looks really similar that one that I recently traded for some freshwater lures (not using them anymore), check mine.

its a true temper rod, made in USA, I just got it for a winter project, put some new wire guides and keep it as factory stock as possible

Gotta "Pelican 1015" case for my phone & wallet stuff I wanna take when Kayakin. So far, so good. The strap goes around my neck and the unit sits inside whatever I'm wearin inside a my PFD. Wrecked the charging unit on 2 phones before I found this one(saltwater corrosion), when I used only a ziplock baggie.

Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!
