Don't forget about the Prowler 15'4"...I love mine. Not sure about standing in it though. Have not tried, but do not feel the need to do so. If they are wanting to stand, look at the 140 or ask Erik and Toddle about their Malibu yaks...heard they are VERY stable. The Prowlers are stable and VER...

I wear 10.5 shoes. I thought I would need the 11 Shimanos, but liked the way the 10 fit better. Bought the size 10. Make sure they have a return policy if you are getting them over the net. JAKE

Same as above...

Had mine for almost 5 years now with no problems. May need some next year due to the sole starting to wear down. Black w/ blue and white SHIMANO lettering on the outside ankles...JAKE

DUSTIN...

I thought those Chronarchs were new to the Shimano line of reels.

How do they compare to the Calcuttas. Are they easier to cast all day long due to the shape of them? JAKE

Shamus...DUCK---here it comes..... :lol: I've got one of the Shimano Stellas and love the smoothness, as well as, the power it has to hold a fish with the St. Croix Avid I have it on . IT IS THE SMOOTHEST reel I have. Only one problem...I WILL NOT take it on the yak. It is a reel I will only take on...

You are right. My favorite setup is a Calcutta 250 matched to a 7' St. Croix. I love that setup and can cast it all day long without fatigue...it can handle some tough fish too. Mostly like pluggin the mangroves with it...JAKE I have 2 of the 400 Calcuttas, but like the 250 better. Have 2 of the 700...

I think the 2500 series is all you will need. You can put a lot more pressure on fish than you think you can with it. The only time I wouldn't suggest using it it if you are fishing a dock with big snook or reds... I also have the 3000 series Spheros and IT GETS HEAVY after throwing jigs and topwate...

Yep...carry both every trip. You never know when the cell towers will not pick you up by the VHF will work or vice versa. There are even a few people that carry a Cell Phone - VHF - and FRS. You can never be too safe out there. If you do get one, do yourself a favor and get one of the many submersib...
