Striped bass - live lining

Penn Spinfisher V 4500LL and 6500LL
Picture
Quality performance, day in and out, the Spinfisher V makes casting a dream thanks to upgraded reel features such as the Slammer Drag System, Line Capacity Rings, and the Live Liner drag. No locking up, no slipping reels, or stripped gears; just a smooth drag and wobble free retrieve. Water Tight Design- A total of 6 seals (9 in the Live Liner models) are used to create the new Water Tight Design used in the Spinfisher V reels. Whether you dunk the reel in the surf or let it ride in the spray all the way home, you dont have to worry about saltwater getting into the gearbox or drag system. Slammer Drag System -A truly sealed drag system with 1 HT-100 drag washer on the top of the spool and 2 HT-100 drag washers underneath the spool. All HT-100 washers are greased for smoothness and longevity. Extreme range, endless adjustment, and a large diameter drag knob so you can easily crank down to max drag. Superline Spool - No backing needed because the rubber gasket keeps the superline from slipping. Line Capacity Rings -Eliminates the question of how much line you have left when fighting a fish. The three lines on the spool flange let you know when you have 1/3, 2/3 or a full spool of line left. Also, if you re-spool often, these lines give you benchmarks for backing your superline.
Mono Capacity: 8lb/300yrds, 10lb/250yrds, 12lb/185yrds

Braid Capacity: 15lb/365yrds, 20lb/280yrds, 30lb/200yrds

Moeller 22 Gal. Above Deck Fuel Tank

Picture
Yeti Tundra 65 Marine Cooler. Invest in a cooler that is ready for any adventure, anywhere, any time. The Tundra 65 is just the right size for one person to carry and will hold enough for a day on the water. With an interior dimension of 11 1/8"H x 11 1/8"W x 24 3/4"L this cooler will easily handle a days provisions for a family of 4 or 39 cans of your favorite beverage; with a 2:1 ice ratio. The Yeti Fatwall Design provides 2" of seamless insulation on the walls and bottom and 3" of insulation on the lid for superior ice retention. Commercial grade polyurethane insulation, known as Permafrost, is pressure injected into the walls and lid of the cooler and sealed to prevent water intrusion. Air is the enemy of any cooler; to prevent ambient air from entering the cooler with the lid closed, a freezer-style gasket and interlocking lid design create an impenetrable barrier. Rugged from start The extra-tough, roto-molded, one-piece, food-grade, UV resistant polyethylene body is designed for a lifetime. Integrated self-stopping hinges are molded into the body and lid to eliminate lid leashes and surface mounted butt hinges that are common sources of failures. Military-grade polyester rope with textured rubber grips let you carry a loaded cooler with confidence knowing the handles wont break unexpectedly. Heavy duty T-handle latches are made using a patented technology for excellent strength and durability. More Great Yeti Features Tundra coolers are packed with features anyone can appreciate. To drain a Yeti, a recess in the floor directs every last drop of water to the gasketed leak-proof drain. The drain plug features course threads that wont be effected by a little sand or some fish scales. The included wire basket keeps sensitive items out of the icy waters and is coated for corrosion resistance. Molded into the body of the cooler are lashing loops that accept 1" webbing straps that will not interfere with access to the interior or effect the freezer-style seal. These loops can also be used to hold optional accessories such as drink or rod holders or locking systems to secure the cooler to the boat, truck bed or trailer. Bearfoot pads at each corner provide non-slip grip if you choose not to lash the cooler with straps. Molded into the lid are two holes for pad-locks to secure the coolers contents.

​Xtratuf Men's 6" Ankle Deck Boots
Grunden's Stormlight Jacket
Picture
Picture
The Xtratuf Men's 6" Ankle Deck Boots Navy/Red. An athletic alternative to wearing tall boots for fishing. Ready to take your sport fishing up a notch Xtratuf's 6" Ankle Deck Boots are the boots to get you there. You've probably been struggling to move quickly around the deck of your boat in tall rubber boots trying keep up with your fast-moving quarry. Those tall boots are designed for the crazy people that making their living fishing in 33 degree water with giant waves and gale force winds, but commercial fishing gear is overkill for most sport and recreational fishing. Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are smaller cousins to the tried and true boots that have been worn by Alaskan fishermen for over 50 years and are perfect for anglers looking for a more athletic solution to the conditions they're likely to encounter. Don't be mistaken. These boots are also waterproof and feature the same slip-resistant outsoles as Xtratuf's Legacy boots, only in a lightweight, performance design. Imported.The Uppers: Xtratuf's Ankle Deck Boots are constructed from hand-laid rubber with a neoprene insert for comfort and protection. Although hardy enough for sport and recreational fishing conditions, these aren't commercial grade boots. These Ankle Deck Boots will not withstand oils and chemicals as well as Xtratuf's Legacy boots. However, they are 100% waterproof so you'll stay dry and comfortable and on your feet all day. The uppers are ozone resistant, as well as softer, lighter and far more pliable than ordinary rubber for enhanced performance.The Liners: Ever wear a pair of rubber boots that make your feet feel like they're in a sauna Xtratuf solves that problem. Where the rubber meets your feet (so to speak), Xpresscool anti-microbial evaporative cooling liners wick moisture and create a cooling effect. And as we all know, if your feet are happy, you're going to want to stay out on the water longer.The Outsoles: You'll find the same slip-resistant, non-marking Chevron outsoles Xtratuf uses on their commercial grade Legacy boots. Made from a proprietary rubber compound, they give you sure footing on wet, slick surfaces in the most extreme conditions. And being non-marking, your gelcoat will stay white and bright without having to scrub off those stubborn black marks you'll get from ordinary rubber boots.
Grunden's Stormlight Jacket Glacier Grey. Light as a feather, yet keeps fishermen dry during summer squalls or heavy downpours. Grunden's Stormlight Jacket is crafted from superlight nylon neo-stretch material that is waterproof and breathable, for superior comfort and freedom of movement. Boasts many features from Grunden's commercial-grade rainwear, such as a fully adjustable hood, sturdy waterproof front zipper, large zippered storage pockets, adjustable hem and hook-and-loop adjustable cuffs to seal out rain and spray. Stain resistant material resists scales and slime while keeping its good looks season after season. Great for the traveling angler, Stormlight is easy to pack for any fishing adventure.
