River Dog

Thanks for all the tips guys. Y'all are a huge help!

Thanks for the tip Old Plug. I'll get there as quick as I can.

Thanks for all the links guys. I really like the 5'3" fenwick. But I also would love to start building my own rods. Is there a way to cut down an after market rod and put my own handle and reelseat on it?

That's why I came here because I can't find one that's 5' either lol. I hadn't thought about cutting a blank down and making it myself.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a 4.5 to 5 foot 'light' action spinning rod. I love fishing creeks and rivers for panfish and smallmouth bass out of my solo canoe, but my 4.5' ultralight is just to weak for bass and I find I'm losing a lot of fish. Any suggestions are appreciated. By the way. I don't want anything longer than 5'. Thanks

Thanks for all the tips guys. My longest rods are six feet so it shouldn't be a problem stowing them inside the gunwales.

Thanks alot al agnew. I was wanting to keep everything removable just like you said. I really like your tackelbox storage system and can tell you right now that will be part of my first mods. I am with you on the molded seats, i have a kayak with a molded seat and hate it but can't change it because of the way its put on the yak. OK back to the canoe, do you have any ideas on removable rod holders, i like the way ol hooker from the RiverBassin forum did his but do not want to drill any more holes in the top of my boat than i have to.

Hey guys I'm new to the forum and am about to buy an old town guide 119 from dicks. I will be modding it for creek and river fishing and wanted to see what you guys came up with. Anchor systems and different seat will be my first mods. Any tips are welcome. Thanks!!!
