Need advice on fishing gear. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Before above, after below:

The information at alantani.com was incredible. I bought 4 Sealine series reels for $15 each. (2 50h's and 2 30h's) I decided to go all in and bought just about all new chrome parts, Carbontex drag washers, click springs, washers, o-rings, etc. I even bought new decals and badges for the 50h's. With that being said both of my 50h's will be close to $90 each for the final cost. The reels were basically rebuilt with improved drag washers. By the way. smoothdrag.com only has a limited amount of the carbon fiber drag washers left. When they are out, there will be no more. The manufacturer will not produce the material anymore.

I just need to find some cheap rods. I will call or text John in the next couple of weeks. Trying to sell the last of my woodworking gear.

It's not the shiniest, prettiest, flashiest gear that makes a good fisherman. It's the love and passion for the sport, the willingness to learn from all these guys on this site, and GOING FISHING that helps you catch fish!

You will be fine with what you have and your wife and kids are the lucky ones!

See you out there!
