I really like both the Profish 400 and the Reload, but if it had to be one OR the other it would be the Reload:

1. I use the bait wells behind the seat of the Reload, and really miss them when paddling the PF400 and GT.

2. I've become addicted to the Reload Tackle Pod. I have one set up for deep water with the appropriate transducer and offshore comm's gear. I have another set up as a full size live bait tank when wanting to use big baits. I have a third set up as Twin Pod live bait tank with the seat end compartment as the tank, and the front compartment with the pump (drawing water from the transducer socket) and tackle. The fourth Tackle Pod is set up for fresh water fishing, and has side imaging sonar installed.

Tired of my gear getting wet in the well of the 400 though especially bumping through the Gulfs SW chop. I expect a tackle pod will be much drier? I got the first 400 too its got the bung in the well hence my yak needs surgery to fill a few holes to take the pod. 

I only use bait when gurnard fishing through winter. And even then have found fresh jack macks caught on the spot best.

Hard to sell its got mojo and always gets me home safe. But why do I want to change
