Ssiredfish does your 160 have a rear tankwell or the closed compartment? How did you mount your transducer? The dsi transducer must be mounted outside the hull. Once I looked at the 160 and got the price I pretty much said I will take it. I was planning to add a livewell but will try a floating bait bucket for now. All I will have for bait is a few dozen shrimp. Once I get into offshore I will rig a larger livewell for pinfish. My main target now is Sheepshead. So two small spinning reels. And a big reel for a flat line. I see my problem being tackle. I like to be ready for anything and I have a duffel bag with five big plano boxes full of pre made leaders, hooks, mono and flouro leader of all sizes, etc. I have been looking at tackle bags with the slide out plano boxes. It seems like a good way to limit and organize tackle. But on a yak I doubt I will need 130 lb leader.
Is a Penn Torque overkill for a yak? Its the reel I use on the boat all the time. What about fish storage and drinks? Cooler or fish bag?
