Tons of fun

The wife and kids hooked me up with a Wilderness Systems Tarpon 160i for dad's day. Easily the best gift I've ever received. What a ball! Had a scrappy 34" bass take me on a nice sleigh ride the second week I owned the boat. Blues are kinda scary when they try to jump in your lap. Just a thin layer of nylon between their fangs and your sluggo. Get a yak- you'll love it.

Tarpon 140, fully rigged. Love it. Don't use it all the time but it sure is nice to have options. Just another weapon in the arsenal. Great for getting to places that do not have easy land access, park it and surfcast like normal. Great this time of year when the fish are blitzing a couple hundred yards out.

Love em, use them a ton. Not only have my fish doubled in size, so has my access. I use them for both fresh and salt.

When we were on Block Island Last June I rented one and fished in the salt pond. I had a blast getting towed around and fishing. It is worth checking out before you say you would never try it.
