he is a physical specimen unlike anyone ever to fish from a hobie 

Do you even squat bro?

I concur that the V2 drive with the GTT add-on was the pinnacle for Hobie engineering from a reliability perspective.

Well I did compete in powerlifting, raw juniors, but that was 12 years ago and in the deadlift. Nowadays I have multiple kegs on tap in my shop making everything go down hill at a frightening pace.

Not trying to argue. However, lots of people take their hobies out in rough conditions and fish regularly. I dont think it’s the conditions but possibly the user. I like to think that I fish consistently (3-5 days a week when the season is in swing) and fish varying conditions depending on the species. I have only broke a reverse cable on 180 and a idle cable on previous models(6 years of use). In rough conditions, if proper technique is heard then they should last a long time with minor issues.

No one I know has had as many issues as workhard has claimed. Either he is a physical specimen unlike anyone ever to fish from a hobie or he is extending his stroke too far and sheering the teeth.

Come up and fish with me.

You still fish?

I got 7 Chinook in two days last year and decided to hang em up with a 3.5 average. Just kidding, I bought a house and have PTSD from work. It's kinda like if I was a male OBGYN ya know? There's a point when you know too much and it stops being fun. I'll hit you up when it gets good in August, and I did manage to lockdown three campsites at Baker if you want to roll through.

I definitely want to hit Baker, although I haven't looked at the sockeye forecast.

I picked up an Old Town Salty a couple of weeks ago and need to get it in the water and figure out whether I like it or not.
