How’s it goin everyone! New member here from Canada . Just starting my spyderco collection! I been using the endura 4 for about 10 years now. Recently just decided that I like knives and this would be a fun hobby lol so I got myself a ladybug 3 salt and fish hunter. I’m mainly a kayak fisherman and I play in the salt often so I figured the fish hunter would be great incase I get entangled with anchor line, fishing line and and crab trapping line ect.

Welcome to the forum!
The Endura 4 is actually my most favorite folder of all times and all brands... reading your post, I think the "salty" Endura, a Pac Salt 2, would be perfect for you...
Btw: You are not the only Kayak fisherman here: Surfgringo / Lance Clinton is a "colleague" of yours, he even designed two cool knives for Spyderco: Siren and Waterway (I have and love the latter, a great utility fixed blade!)

Welcome to the forum. The Endura is a great knife to solely use for 10 years. You chose wisely.
As Wartstein said, the Pac Salt would be a good fishing knife in a format you are already familiar with. And now the choices are endless. God Speed!

Re: New member here!
welcome! congrats on your newly growing collection. the salt series definitely sets spyderco apart, but as you already know from the endura, their other knives are great too. be careful... spyderco has a way of replacing the money in your pocket with a rotation of wonderful knives.
keep your knife sharp and your focus sharper.

Re: New member here!
Hey huyfishin, welcome! I enjoy fishing too. You'll find the entire Salt series interesting. As others have already said, it's hard to beat the Pacific Salt.
Re: New member here!
Welcome to the forum! I am a long time fan of the endura also. For your kayak hobby a salt would be fantastic. I use a Pacific Salt 2 as our dog walking knife as it’s an all weather companion.

One more thing, since this seems to be a frequent question:
- Should you reply or submit a new post / thread, and that does not show up on the forum: See HERE viewtopic.php?f=11&t=88927#p1496705
