1 - Plano 2 sided tackle box......$20
1 - Plano protector series dipsy diver storage box. Holds 20 divers and it was never used.......$30
3 - hook-um pads w/ carry case. We modified these by putting a weather resistant type of board behind each pad so they stand up instead of the pad falling all over with the weight of the spoons hanging on..........$50
I use 12# till the flease come. Then 20# ff till the end of the season. I've ran 40# before. We've been running them for 20 years and I can't say enough about them. If it helps i'll drop the name Jerry (Rebel Charters), uses these also. Many others too. You'll wonder why you used anything else after running these.

9' light ugly stick #1101 is the best all around rod you can use all season. Bend it to the water, catch 30# kings, browns, bows, sheephead and the occasional marlin!
I cant remember the model #(maybe it's 1001), but us and a few other charter guys at sandy use the 9' (light action) ugly stick. We usually get them @ walmart for around $55. We all love them. You can get that rod tip just about on the water when rigged up. Never broke one in well over 15 years.
You must be doin some serious house cleaning. Those could be the best spring slider spoon their is. If I didn't have a couple dozen, I would take them from ya.
I used to use 30# mono a bunch when the fish were up high in the spring, But I found I get a ton of fish w/ the wire only out 40-70'. Coho's and bow's aren't too shy about being near your boat. When you get a rip- that close, the rod just explodes!
Sometime in April (If Keith ever comes back from Florida) were going to have a meeting on it. Something to look forward to is, the # of sponsors involved this year will be bigger than last year! Many things to iron out and we'll let you know more as soon as we can.
And yes Jerry, I'm trying to get coldstone ice cream there. I heard your buying!
I used to fish it for a few years before last year. We would pre fish then fish the tourny. I consider myself a pretty good perch guy, but that place can kiss my ass! I'm all set with getting frustrated. I tried everything from trolling to live bait to rubber. We did catch a few, but you wont beat the boys that fish the lake all the time. Same names on top every year. I was going to fish this year till they included seneca again. last year was keuka and canadagua. # of teams go down every year too. a few years ago we had about 80 and now it's like 40ish.
Good luck guys.
