All ready been to Cabales looking

I've had them all.. Cannon, Walker, Scotty, and Big John.

Hands down, my favorites were the Big John's. Get the ones with the boom extensions and multiple pullies. These are designed to either go straight out the back, at a 45, or 90 degrees to the boat. Some people don't know, but not all riggers are designed to be run 90 degrees to the boat. At any rate, the reason why I like these are: They have a longer boom and will clear when run straight out the back (even if the riggers are inside of your boat to operate your gear). They have several different upgrades that can be done (cannon ball holder plate is one). You can purchase a set of swiveling rod holders and have as many as 3 on one rigger. Great even if you do not use all of them on your riggers as you can utilize the holders for slide divers, dipsy divers, lead core, and so on. Lastly, and my FAVORITE feature, they allow you to tilt the arm of the rigger verticle. This is a huge deal when trailering with riggers in place, moving from location to location and so on.

As for rod holders.... "Great Lakes" holders are all I reccommend for salmon and steelhead. You don't see them on the East side of the state but they are extremely popular on the west!

Always fun to try new things!

I was in need of a new fishing hat, and after seeing Slabsrus looking all fantastic in his "Crappies and Smallies" post wearing a blue one, I knew that was the hat I needed to take my style to the next level.
so I bought one... Which lead to buying a shirt... Which lead to buy some stickers...
And when I opened the box I was surprised to find a couple more stickers and some jig bodies I didn't order...
Thanks Slab. I appreciate the extras!

Glad you like the hat and the r/w/b decals. That's why Slab hasn't fired me, I'm an idea guy. lol
