Thanks guys.

Drake, I read somewhere that a good technique for yo yoing is to cast your iron as far as you can, let it drop to the bottom, and start cranking and slashing. A long cast will cover more area to trigger strikes. That makes sense to me. However, i am a newbie and haven't tried irons. Plus I like casting a country mile. Thanks for the list of gear to consider buying. First thing I need to buy is a boat. Ive been researching a ton of boats and narrowed my search to a stealth 12 or a ultra trident. I want a boat I can paddle with a built in live well/bait well. I saw a nice combo with gaff and accessories for $79 on kayak fishing supplies. com

Takmik, I'll check out squidco.

DanaPT, lol...Snoopy rods rock. They are pig slayers!

Buskid, yeah I've seen fishoholics traveling store on here. That sound perfect to get some used gear. I'm gonna try and get to one of his swaps.

Mike, those calstar 's look nice. I like the idea of getting an ugly stick. Cheap and they will hold up to a lot of abuse as I learn limitations of gear
