Natural Sports in Kitchener has a 3 pce Rapala 15' float rod on sale for $99.00.  They ship

Do you have one?  Looks like a decent rod, I'm just concerned about how whippy it is especially being 15 feet and buying online. 

I appreciate the heads up but it looks like its only available in store.  I think I've tracked them down to a decently local spot.... angling outfitters in woodstock.  Probably will have to dish out a bit more than the gagnon price but I can live with it

Thanks!

yes! thank you, now just have to find somewhere that I can buy one

also found the okuma aventa has a 15'6 version

I was using a 13' light rod when I was breaking off on hook sets... so I think I must have a spool of bad line.  

I'll move up to 8 though based on what everyone's been saying.  

Never understood why anyone would cut the fillets off with the ribs and then remove them after... why not just keep following that original spine cut and follow the ribs down to the belly.  Less waste and it faster 

One additional step if you want truly boneless fillets, is to use the 'zipper method' to remove the mud line which contains the little bones that are impossible to get out otherwise
