yeah I've looked into the roof rack systems but they are over 350$. I've been thinking about getting an inflatable roof rack which would only put me back close to 100$

Got a guy coming to buy my 2013 FS12T tomorrow so I can go get the new one. It looks to be a great improvement over the 2013. I hope I'm able to stand in it.

I saw that. I actually found a smaller dive beacon light that should fit in a 1" pvc pipe for cheaper on amazon, Gonna use that. Also found a safety flag on a 60" pole on amazon for real cheap.

I'm doing a DIY anchor trolley too with parts from hook1 and amazon

shite son, watch what I do with them 2 milk crates and PVC when I get it, minds will be blown

I don't want more than 4 rods with me when I'm yak fishin anyway. Maybe 6 if it's freshwater but even then probably not. Probably go out with 2 most of the time.

For the marsh I'll probably just have a live bait/soft plastics pole and a spoon/spinner/hardbait pole. Clip on corks.

For bass in my boat I usually bring 6-8 but only use 2-3. Not always the same 2-3. Not sure how I'd do it on a yak but I probably won't bass too much on it and when I do only bring a couple versatile bass rods and a perch pole.

I currently fish with 3 but would like to have 5 total and carry 4 in the boat (alternating a crank rod when needed).

I've got something like 12 or 13 rods right now, there was a time when I took almost all of them in the boat every time I went but I don't use half of them when I do and theres not that much space in the aluminum. Definitely won't be in the kayak.

Predicament.
I think I want the tan. The tan is on backorder on the website, as is the camo. They have the blue in stock. Trying to decide if I want to order the blue now before that goes on backorder too or just go ahead and get on the backorder for the tan. I'm not sure how long the backorder is for it, would help my decision. I'm not stuck on the color enough to wait months for the tan but if it's just an extra week or something I'd probably wait.

6 baitcasters, 2 big spinning, 2 ultralights, and a zebco. So maybe it's just 11. Unless I have 7 baitcasters, I can't remember right now.
Never enough

Give em a call tomorrow and ask for ETA on backorder. Tan is cool because it makes it easier to use for something else down the line like duck hunting or whatever.

Also don't feel bad. I've lost track of how many rods I've got too haha. Some are super old Curados that I don't fish with much anymore, but I'm a pack rat. As far as reels that get use, I've got 3 E7s and a Chronarch, and a Sahara 1000 on an ultralight. I have two Symetres for salt.

Good idea. I'll do that at lunch. And I was thinking the same about hunting and whatnot.

And I've got an E7, 3 or 4 Revo S, a Revo SX, a cardinal on one ultralight and a browning combo for the other one, and a cheaper shimano on one spinning setup and I think a quantum on the other. My baitcasters and ultralights are my nice setups, the spinning reels are just cork fishing or catfish rigs.
