    Bait casting setups

    I could see that if a guy insists on using mono or fluoro but don't understand that either with modern braids available. You could run power pro through the washing machine and not get a kink. Buy a pflueger purist and spool it with 8lb power pro. It will cast, crank or pull anything you want.

    Bait casting setups

    Why baitcaster? What benefit does it offer not found in a spinning reel?

    Ranger Boat Cover Waterproofing

    Update: I used the Star Brite waterproofing and was careful with the install as suggested by guywhofishes. I put the cover on the boat and scrubbed/washed it with a flow thru RV brush using plain water. Let dry completely in the sun including a flip to make sure the underside was fully dry. Set...

    Boat Value

    The way things are selling I wouldn't be surprised if you got close to $10k. Good luck with the sale.

    Black Rifle Coffee Co. hates YOU!!!

    I don't need you to tell me how fucking good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it, I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping, she buys shit. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it, I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It ain't the...

    Freak accident. (Understatement)

    Incredible story, thanks for sharing. Glad it turned out as well as it did. Good reminder of a number of things: 1) Anything at the end of a bent fishing rod is a possible projectile. Took two embedded treble hooks before I learned to not grab from above a fish hanging on a crankbait. 2) You...

    Ranger Boat Cover Waterproofing

    My original Ranger cover from 2009 is in good shape physically but is no longer waterproof. I want to apply a product to restore waterproofing. Would appreciate product/procedure recommendations from anyone in the know. Tag on the bag indicates it was made for Ranger by TriVantage. I assume it...

    Minnkota Spot Lock

    Terrova spot lock is only based on trolling motor head GPS. It attempts to keep that unit close to the set point. It has no idea or concern what the rest of the boat does. You have to use some judgement of wind and current to position the boat before spot locking if you want to minimize frustration.

    Lund transom

    Gibbons is done July 1 and already stopped taking on new work. Some of their guys are setting up over at River City but will be a couple months before they're ready. Unfortunately if you pay someone to do it and insurance does not cover it you will almost certainly be upside down on a 25 year...

    Battery Charger

    You would be far better off spending that money on trolling motor and battery upgrade. It takes a lot of real estate to generate much solar power. A 100 watt solar panel is almost 2ft x 4ft and at max will provide 100/12= 8.3 amps at 12v. Even a small trolling motor will draw over 30 amps at...

    Lund transom

    Buddy looked into it for his. It would be pretty inexpensive to do with marine plywood if Lund would provide a template or computer file to make a template but they will not. He said Lund will sell a new composite transom but they aren't cheap and neither is shipping. If you do it on your own...

    Trailer Hubs Warm?

    This is the correct answer. I've been guilty of adding grease to the bearing buddy periodically but that can damage bearing seals which are very important on a wheel that goes from the highway to the water in a matter of minutes. If you haven't had bearings repacked with grease in the past 2...

    Cat fishing

    This guy is asking for a spot so he can go make a video sharing the spot with the world, so not sure why anyone would want to share.

    Help Propping 200 V6 Merc on Tri-Toon

    I worked with PropMD in Plymouth, MN when getting mine dialed in. They had a pitch exchange program where you could try the prop you want and send back in new condition if needed to exchange for same prop in different pitch, just pay shipping. They're also really knowledgeable and helpful in...

    X2 on the basic Honeywell wifi thermostat. Had mine for a few years and does exactly what I want for managing it from my phone. No service fees, free app, temperature alert notifications. Model RTH6580WF or similar.

    Google search "ethanol test kit". Might start doing some verification since I buy non ethanol for everything but the pickup.
