    I would like to trade a 10# and a 15# cannonball that I have and never use for 2-12# cannonballs. I only ever use 12 lbers and don't need the 10 and 15 lbers. I was thinking straight trade... no cash involved. I'm in Burnaby.

    recommendations for radar arch fabricators in lower mainland

    Sort of playing with the idea of getting a radar tower made for my boat. The boat is a 70's vintage 18' 6" Double Eagle. I live in Burnaby so anywhere in the lower mainland area would be okay. And if anybody has had one made recently I am curious as to the cost. Thanks...

    How often do you replace your mainline

    Just wondering how long you people leave your mainline on your reels before replacing? I would think guides probably change it more often than your average fisher. Also, what about test strength; any preference 20 or 30lb test? Thanks in advance

    New reel for the boat

    Was at Berry's Bait yesterday replacing gear that was lost to "Mr Whiskers" on Tuesday while fishing at the hump and started to look at some nice reels. I have been fishing the basic combo 10.5 rod with the M-one reel. Decent setup but I knew that at some point it would be nice to get some...
