Come by my house first....you may regret it if you don't.

Bean local won't have much you want.....believe me! Bass Pro is limited....not alot! They will have some good rods though (Ugly Stick Lites) REI is high priced and also limited. Make a weekday trip to Berwick Marine (might be open tomorrow I would think?) but thats where I would start Matt! They are in Bridgewater.

Sure hate to stake my life on "maybe's"? When I was researching kayak safety, someone wrote a chapter on an incident that happened to him where a buddy he was with rolled his yak and struck his head and was knocked unconcious......he said fortunately his buddy has his PFD on and he was able to grab him easily and pull him to safety......the guy went on to say why carry your PFD with you? Cause if you fall in the water without it what is the sense in having it at all unless its on you when you need it?? You can't plan when your mishaps may happen, just be prepared for when they do!
