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.

Gibbs GV-72GS Replacement Bag
Excellent design to help land the bigger fish and also less entanglement if the fish is to be

Excellent design to help land the bigger fish and also less entanglement if the fish is to be released so less stress on the fish. Quality seems great with a double sleeve for the hoop. Hint -make sure you can disassemble the net hoop from the neck slide—I used a 24 soak in 30% vinegar to break down 15 years of salt corrosion of the aluminum slide joints
