The Bote Drift packed a couple of really unique features for a stand up paddle board when it was first released and it still holds up very well as a fishing platform. One of the most striking features about the Drift is its wood inlay deck, which was a first for an inflatable paddle board. This SUP board was also the first to offer compatibility with a Tackle Rac. It is a great looking board that is available in “Classic” style, featuring traditional maritime theme designs, “Bug Slinger”, with aggressive fishing themed graphics and “Realtree” that has more of a camouflage pattern. In our books, the Bug Slinger not only looks the most stylish, but its through-holes that can be used to anchor the board using a stake-out pole also gives it an advantage. …show more content…
At just over 32 lbs it is a lightweight board, but has a maximum capacity of 350 lbs. The board has front bungee straps to secure your gear as well as rear bungee straps and cooler tie downs. Both the Bug Slinger and RealTree designs also feature Molle lash points, a paddle sheath, integrated paddle strap and stakeout holes, which are absent from the classic design. The multi-textured deck pad of the Drift offers plenty of comfort and provides a great platform for angling.
Although none of the Bote Drift models comes with rod holders, they are compatible with the Bote Tackle Rac, which features two rod holders and gear pegs. The width of the Drift boards make them very stable and its construction makes it a great all-round board that can be used for more than just angling. It is also quite a durable board, so you’ll get plenty of use out of your investment. Since the glide of the board is rather slow, it is not aimed at those who want to get to their fishing spots on the water very quickly, but other than that it is a solid
It's the day before the big Lake Fork bass tournament. John Noah is getting prepared. He has already cleaned up his boat and is rigging up a swimbait on his favorite carrot stick rod with his favorite lews reel on it. Next John got all his tackle together, he had to take his time choosing lures because of the certain depths in the lake.

Then he double checked everything and made sure it was all in the right place.

Artificial lures, live and natural bait have all been successfully employed to capture the blue marlin. The most popular technique seems to be artificial lure fishing, which was developed in Hawaii. Among the earliest artificial lures were chrome towel rails tied with strips of rubber taken from inner tubes. Four or more such lures are fastened together and trolled behind boats at speeds of between 7 and 15 knots.
A spinning rod is the most common type of fishing poles these are very versatile fish pole it has the ring for the line to go threw at the bottom. The reel itself has a vetrivel reel that the fishing line goes on ,also the reel itself can be switched for left handers and right hander .This is overall a great way to fish for anyone rather you are a beginner or a professional and I would recommend spinning rods for everyone.The other fishing pole and reels that are used most often are baitcaster , these are way different from the spinning rods .The poles them self are way different do to the fact the the eyes are on top of the pole rather than the bottom . When it comes to the reel it is completely different the reel is horizontal . With the reel being horizontal you can cast a lot further.The one major downfall to the bait caster reel is that since it is horizontal the line will not stop coming off the reel so while fishing with it you have to watch the line after you cast it or it will do what we call a “bird nest” and that is when the line comes out and tangles up the reel into a big not and makes it so that you have to untangle it or cut the line . But the best way to prevent a birds nest is by setting the drag on the reel to the weight of the bait or lure that is on the pole when this is done right

One soon realizes how unstable their feet may feel as they ride back and forth between the walls of the half pipe. However, when an individual chooses to ride a 9” board, they may find their footing firmly stable. This same concept applies in choosing a board in which one would ride on the street with. Actually, one may find it challenging while attempting to flip and shove it choosing a 10” board. In that case, if an individual chose an 8.25” board the individual may find doing such tricks easier. Thus, a selection of boards can determine what style of skateboarding an individual participates in, coupled with, this individual choice of
With the evolution of skateparks and ramp skating, the skateboard began to change. Early skate tricks had consisted mainly of two-dimensional maneuvers like riding on only two wheels ("wheelie" or "manual"), spinning only on the back wheels (a "pivot"), high jumping over a bar and landing on the board again, also known as a "hippie jump", long jumping from one board to another (often over small barrels or fearless teenagers) or slalom. The flat ground ollie allowed skateboarders to perform tricks in mid-air without any more equipment than the skateboard itself, it has
When we rig, we use rope to tie down the ‘iakos to the ama and the canoe. Rigging the ‘iako to the ama is called rigging the outside, it is the hardest rigging to learn. I want to teach younger paddlers to do this because I was taught by the junior paddlers who came before me and now being the senior paddlers it is my responsibility to pass down the knowledge and keep the tradition going. By teaching people how to traditionally rig canoes it helps them get a deeper sense of tradition that they are participating
