The Cheapskate Kayak Fisherman - Deals Thread

Going to put it on the Old Town. One of the specs was a smaller transducer than some of the bananas that come with other units with side-scan. I think I saw a vid on YouTube about the long Lowrance transducer being mounted on the AP.

Local Cabela's didn't have one in stock, so I am guessing it is a week or two out.  If it looks like the transducer is a no go, can probably sell it for what Cabela's is charging or more.

Yeah it's not the biggest thing ever but also quite a bit larger than the non side-scan varieties. I am not sure if the transducer attachment section is the same in the AP 120 as it is for the sportsman 120 but it doesn't look like it will fit well with the stock mounting plate. I need to spend some more time with it to see if it will mount up with some modification or if I'll need to try and fab up something different. I do have a 3d printer now so might have to print something to accomplish it.

Solid deal on a not-exciting-but-solid reel - Okuma Ceymar: https://fishermans-marine.com/okuma-ceymar-caymus-spinning-reels.html 

I had one of these in the C-30 size on a bass combo that I lost to the lake last year and had been looking to replace.  Perfectly decent freshwater spinning reels at a pretty solid price.  I had been waiting to replace until they went on sale and this is about the best price I have seen on them in a while.

A nice deal on good units there. Have been running the 73sv and am really pleased with the performance on it relative to the cost. Can definitely recommend in my limited experience thus far.

really wanting to upgrade from my hook2 but between inland+ ocean maps plus a second transducer + power cable i would be pushing too much. 3.5% ebates rigth now to stack on

I've been running the 73sv for a year now and very happy with it (I got it for $450 on sale at Cabellas)  The only thing I am salivating over right now is the "relief shading" feature but I would have to shell out another $250 to get premium version of coastal maps which has that feature. This is of course a want; not a need so probably not going to happen.

maps wise it looks like they are going away from the bluchart/lakevu package and Navionics is selling navionics+ packages now.  Would be nice of they shipped with navionics out of the box

I just received my plano boxes.  I knew they were the weather sealed variety, but when I ordered I didn't notice they were the deep 3700s.  I guess I saw the price and thought they were the normal 3600s.  Score!  Should have bought more.

I know it says "wheels not included" but someone else I know ordered this (he didnt see that the wheels were not included) and it came with the wheels and they are the bigger wheels.  I was tempted so I ordered one also.  It's supposed to be here Tues, I will keep you all informed.  If it comes with the wheels too then this is a killer deal.  About $150 with the additional 16% off that they are offering right now and free shipping too
