My 1st choice and what I use is Hi-Tek but I have modified them with hand knobs. I fish the pinnacle limit 12' graphite rods from Grizzly jig. I am on my 3rd year with them. I use the B&M Buck's mini reel so I have about 30$ in each rig. As these are damaged I will upgrade but I wanted to lower my price point when I started. The two things I will not do w/o is my fish finder with gps to control my speed and the double seat up front. The double seat up front is good for when I am catching too many fish to handle myself and for when I aint catching any for conversation.

And if I waited till I could afford what I wanted to fish I don't think I ever could fish. Have yall seen the new Predator boats. LOL
