I like your idea Bob! Winner takes a cash prize. Serious sponsors donating great prizes

Having just suffered aa catastophic surf landing/wreck/pearl/yardsale I am curious about the horizontal rod holders and If an 800m calstar would fit in there.

I'm not familiar with the 800m, but I think the rod holders are supposed to take 8 ft'ers. It takes my black hollow sabiki rod. It also has bungies that lash over the rod butts in 3 different places. Works great for me I'm an expert at crashing and the only thing I've lost is my sun glasses.

Well I just up'ed my standings in the wipeout olympics.I think I am going for the platinum medal...

If I sell My skiff and my big game I could get one.I am going to practice landing my skiff like they do the pangas in mexico.It should be interesting...

The horizontal rod storage on the Pro Angler will hold a fly rod up to 9'6". The reel sits a little further back, but it still works great for protecting the rod. It fits my 9' jig stick very well.

The horizontal rod holders were originally designed to house 6 freshwater bass rods which are thinner and have smaller reels than the typical setups we use in La Jolla. I usually take 4 rods: a sibiki rod, two 7ft 30lb outfits, and my 9ft jig stick, and I store two rods horizontally on either side of me. This makes getting them in and out of the holders quite easy.

I fished LJ recently with an "older" gent who was on Pro Angler. Surf was up much more than normal (for LJ) and he punched through w ease. Said as long as he stays "square" to the surf he never has an issue. It agility was impressive.


Have to say I was super jealous especially after he popped in the torquedo drive and blew past me...


Love the Revo but the Pro Anglers got me thinking especially when it comes to my little guy, when he gets a bit older it would easily fish both of us.... And if they close Cardiff/Swamis to fishing it would make a super stable spearfishing rig. (Can you tell I’m trying to talk myself into why I should have one????)



The only real issue I see is transportation. It’s a beast of a kayak. I can lift my revo onto my car easily. But without a truck, the Pro Angler would be a 2 man job or a thrown out back for me.


Best,


Josh

PS

Can’t wait to see what it looks like on the roof of a BMW though

So Josh, will you be getting the Prangler with or without your wife's approval? I say you go with the plan of hoping for forgiveness rather than trying to get permission.

If you have to lay low for a while, you can pitch a tent in my back yard.

Ha Ha!! Happy wife happy life right? one day I'll figure it out! If I do pull the trigger you’ll need to help me retrofit it. I’m thinking along the lines of a "Westfalia" edition so I can live in it comfortably as I’m sure I’d get the boot!fficeffice" />>>
