The last time I modified a mold, I used my drill press instead of a dremel. It gave me better control. I kind want to buy a small mill, it seems like that would open up some better options for...

I used this hook VICTORY 11886BN

That is where I first got started rod building as well. BFHP. I remember George from that page. Danco as well.

I finally got the CRB deflection tool from mudhole that allows your to compare two blanks at the same time. It was out of stock everywhere for over a year. I am hoping it will help sort stuff like...

I think some Xfast blanks, like the SCV76mlxf have a soft tip (xfast for sure) but very little flex after that. My DS721 X-ray also has a fast, soft tip, but then the nest section of the blank has...

The only liberty blank I built on is a 7-6 drop shot, but I made that into a BFS that bombs lures out there. I believe it was a 1/8 oz jig head and swimbait during testing. Might have been a touch...

I put some owner 5313 hooks in to try. I am working on enlarging the hook eye as much as I can so the hook is more square in the mold. The 2/0 hook fits and mold closes but is not square. If it...

Nice. I am going to try the standard size weed guard it comes with but ordered up some 2 mm Teflon rods to hopefully be able to make pegs for the weedguard opening. It looks like you cannot buy...

I do not have one to sell but just ordered one that should arrive Tuesday. I am hoping it can be modified to fit smaller hooks than 3/0. We will see. Guessing eye height will be a problem for...

Thanks. My size 5 Sic should be fine to use then too. I did not want to go with recoil guides like the NFC factory build and was hoping a heavier guide train would not leave me disappointed.

Ha. Knot tying is the distance it first showed up at. I need to hold it further away than I would like to tie knots. Reading distance is fine for me, but anything much closer than that is getting...

What guides did you use on it? I am planning on the Fuji titanium SIC guides. RV6 butt guide with size 5 runners.

For me, size 5 is a good compromise for my now middle aged eyes for running...

I believe the Xray version is an SJ725 and the C6O2 MB725 is less powerful.

The studies in Canada on smallmouth bass that have been ongoing on the the same lake (they mark every singe nest in the lake each year), showed that with Canada shut down in covid and the resulting...

I remember last winter they did not draw down much at all which is why I am surprised they did this year. The starting battery is on a Noco single battery charger and the trolling batteries are on an...

The circuit breaker for the starting battery was not off (that might be a difference between this year and last year storage) just the switch beyond the breaker that feeds the Blue Sea panel and the...

When I parked my boat for the winter, the 125 AH starting and electronics battery was at the usual full charge to almost full charge (98-100%) as it always stays when using the boat. The trolling...

Remember though that the $325 suggests the regular price will be 50% of that. Whether sales bring it down to $150 again, who knows. Normal NFC prices are 50% of msrp. Sale prices can be better.

I have two on order. I am thinking either two casting rods or one casting and one spinning rod. We will see.

These rods, at least the current version, say that you should not use a leader to braid setup with the rods since the knot can damage the guide. If you do use a leader, to make it a short leader so...

I just picked up a Steez Compile X 76mml to see what it is all about. Now, I want to see what blanks I have that are similar in power and action and compared finished projects. My builds are pretty...

I’ll take the Bushi beetle.

Jig Man, that link doesn’t work. I couldn’t figure out that mold you were referring to on Amazon. I saw a plastic model by the Nor Pro brand that looked good, but thinking plastic is a bad idea,...

I use the X-ray ds721 for drop shot as well. Nose hooked, #2 or #1 size hooks. It works nicely. my mb733 X-ray, I like for things like finesse jibs, 3.8” keitech, etc.

I checked connections but did not clean them (they look good). This is only the second year with the
unit. Actually first year with hds live 9”. Last year’s unit and active target replaced
under...
