awesome! and for the guy who said lite tackle? what do all you boaters use? on the stream, i float fish with a centerpin 14' rod and 6-8 lb line 4-6 lb leader. I haul 15-20+salmon/steelhead to the banks.. thats a challenge 20lbs on 6 lb line. so for me 14 lb line is like cable! suspension bridge cable lol

Muskybob is a "Musky" guy so anything lighter than 80# test is light line, toothy critters like skis require a different tactic. Our standard charter line is 14# , gives the once a year fisherman a better chance of landing the fish, holds up to small nicks, tight drags, and poor rod handling better than the light stuff. Once the sea fleas show up it's up to 30# with light leaders.
