Ha H ahA HA HHAA AH YOU FUNNY. Gabe cant use off shores and get as wide as I can. Guys dont waste your money on expensive reels with brakes and such. If you already have reels thats cool. If not all you need is a pair of removable masts. Mine on(both boats) are the same masts. I have 6" pursuit tracks up next to the wind shield on the starcraft and on the front casting deck in the little Jon. My masts cost me 10 bucks each. I have a rail mount attached to a flat piece of aluminum that slides into the tracks just like the pursuit stuff. I inserted a 3 foot piece of stainless tube into the rail mount and tighten the two allenhead set screws. I drilled the tube out for two 1/4 inch eye bolts. I wind the 75 feet of 600 lb weedwacker line .080 around the eyebolts like an old ice fishing pole. one end is attached to the top eye bolt the other to the eye bolt on the board. Works like 10. I hand over hand them in faster then a reel can do it. The best thing about side masts is you can turn hard without getting board lines coming into the boat. The smaller offshore type just dont get wide enough for me and I also hate having something heavy attached to my line inbetween me and my fish. I dont use dipsey divers for the same reason. Instead of dipseys I use my boards. Kingfisher

The kicker is I can run two lures on one rod by adding a 20 to 30 foot slider that runs halfway out to the boards. I can run two 9 inch grannies on one rod. In Canadian waters where we only have one rod each the Sliders help out a lot. Mike
