Member Posts: 183 Location: Menasha, Wis. Diawa SC17's Really like these reels for trolling on Bago. Plus, spooling up fresh line doesn't hurt the wallet as bad the SC27's.

Member Posts: 2567 Location: Manitowoc, WI Without a doubt, it would be my Lake Tamer Suspension Seats. They are a back saver, as the East PWT last year was about as wicked of water that anyone could possibly fish in. Dunkirk, with it's 10-12' swells, Port Clinton with 6-8' swells, and Bay de Noc with the big blow on Day 3 as examples. Just goes to show that if you're planning on fishing big water, you need these seats.
