Heading To Cali

[tacmik]

I still haven't figured out why the Jackson's aren't as popular as they should be, but I run mine. Granted, I haven't fished down southward of most of the guys here, but I do fish in some rougher conditions. The Cuda's great for west coast salt.

Probably has a lot to do with the marketing and where the different brands are manufactured. A lot of yaks probably started out regionally and the locals used them, and now it's just a matter of brand recognition and product loyalty. Also, how many different brands can one kayak shop carry? Like cars, some people like Fords and some people like Ferrari's.
