yessir, either a 4000 fierce or a little shimono bout the same size

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. :confused:

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

nice fish peaches but no yak for me

Nice tuna peaches!

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!
