FISHING TACKLE SWAP MEET...LONG BEACH...4/27

[FishNinjaY]

dang, i'm so close... but I'm busy driving kids to dance and activities tomorrow. Hmm...

I think I need to up my game from shore and float tube fishing. Need some heavier rods to prepare for my June Islander Mothership trip!

Sounds like lots of people are recommending the Seeker and Calstar 7ft rods. Any good deals on those? I was also looking at the Californian rods at Turner's yesterday. Are those crap?

I already have a few small avet reels, and an Abu Revo Toro50... but was thinking of getting the Sealine X SHA either 20 or 30... I guess it depends if I'm going to do mono or braid, or an all braid kelp-cutter?

Any advice from you experts would be greatly appreciated ..

If you have any rods that would be a good fit for my kayak needs, let me know. I might be able to quickly pop over there to look at them and buy. You can PM me or email, and I'll get back to you right away. Thanks!!

Same here, I picked up a Shimano Trinidad TN50 and need a rod to pair it with.

Thanks John..

Great meeting you and your brother. Lots of quality stuff!! Probably good that I didn't bring more cash. Extra thanks for being so cool with my son's negotiations. He went home and looked up his rod on google, and was excited telling mom how he negotiated a "great deal" on a $149 rod at the fish swap meet.
