I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Shakespeare Catera line of rods and reels (round not low profile)? I can't find any online places that stock the round baitcaster or the rod I bought. Anyone know what the reel (Catera 4300A) or rod (Catera CA 6066-1MH) might retail for? I want to know if they are worth the $50 total I paid for them. From what I can tell the reel is pretty comparable to the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C3 series, 5.3:1 gear ratio and 3 ball bearings and they retail for around $70. The rod is IM-8 graphite so I think it must be alright. I plan to use it for bass and northern fishing. Trolling, casting crank baits and flipping heavier jigs. Any information would be great. Thanks.
Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe. I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho. Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there. About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway. Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work. You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water. When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
