    yessir, either a 4000 fierce or a little shimono bout the same size
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.

    Sorry never got back to ya... I can't find a thing wrong with any of the gator blanks I've used...typically they run cheaper than most other blanks but ATX is on the same level. I have never personally owned an ATX though, so...I would "go with what ya know".

    On another note...I know of several Mahi caught in close proximity to the pier last year from yaks. Did we ever confirm or deny the catch of one off the pier last year? I remember seeing a pic on here.

    There was a dolphin caught of the pier last year. I gaffed it. I refuse to call that fish by its Hawaiian name.

    thanks man, I think I will go with the gator, I love that unfinished look and feeling they have, I might use a plate seat on it just because of that cool feel

    I've done a few gators with plate seats and they feel amazing during a fight!
