Scotty 2606 6" Downrigger Pedestal Mount
6 " Pedestal Mount

This pedestal worked out amazing well. I used to for the line puller to give me the added height to easily grab either the crab pots or prawn traps when reaching the boat. I attached it directly to the boat with the swivel mount on top of it. I am glad I opted for the 6" vice the 12" which I was originialy planning on using. It would have been too high.

Grundens Women's Neptune Jacket
Great sturdy jacket

I ordered the rain pants first, and then liked those so much I ordered the jacket as well. I use both for back country canoe trips, where I need my rain gear to stand up to moving vigorously day after day in the rain. This does the trick.
