What are you guys sniffing? This is a terrible choice. Obama has served 12 years as a congressman or senator. I believe that this lady has been a mayor and govenor for a total of 6.

Interesting comment about rounded transoms being better in following seas. Never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense.

I have a feeling what is same ol same ol in your neck of the woods is brand new for us, and I for one am enjoying this new point of view.

I believe the Avet is about $370 new at Charkbait, and the rod I suggested can be had for around$120 at basspro. Then there is used.

But even the big ol 9/0 will only produce about 24 lbs of drag, so again that doesn't cut it.

An 80 lb combo needs to produce about 30 lbs of drag and a 113 or 116 will not get there..

In this case I would recommend an Avet 30W Pro and a shakesphere tidewater big water U. Stick, 5'6" XXH, with all aftco rollers.

"The cabin interior will have freshawater head, sink and shower. It will be clean, bright and spacious. "

Are you implying with "cabin" that there is a place to lay down, or are we talking about a deluxe bathroom?

That baby must scoot. Really like the way you set her up.

I have always heard second hand reports that the accurates suffer from premature corrision problems, and now they claims 5x better corrosion resistance than any other reel. They also claim to use some 304 stainless, which is a no no with the chlorides in salt water. Have you had any of these problem...
