I’m going to put a fuse block in the starboard rod locker. I’d prefer to install it on the gunnel side instead of behind the console for easier access. Going to use (4) 3/4” #10 screws to hold in...

Thanks for the replies. I’ll have to give the double pitzen a try. I also use what Swindle calls the “triple shindo”, but it seems to break too. I do have my drags backed off and have lightened up...

I have my drag set so it slips and have modified my hook set to a light upward pop. Nice thing about the braid besides the added sensitivity is that it doesn’t take much to set the hook. Throwing...

Switched my jig rods over to braid w/ fluoro leaders last year and really like the benefits the braid provides. However, I’m having issues with the leader material breaking. I’ve primarily been using...

To the guys that use the Alberto, no issues using heavy FC leaders? I quit using it past 12# because of some failures, which I never have with lighter FC.

This is in my hometown, and I actually worked at the plant for a few years not that long ago. Rumors have always swirled that the plant was going to close for this reason or that, but now that it...

Very good if brined overnight and smoked on a pellet grill.

I’m 42, have other money tied up in mod aggressive funds. Reserve pays the bills for many months, but stuff breaks, vehicles age out, property requires maintenance, etc. The what ifs make me second...

Recently increased contribution rate to take advantage of price dips. With the way things are going, is there a point where it’s smarter to have the cash instead? We have a fairly healthy cash...

Braid to sunline FC100 shock leader. Made the switch from using straight FC for years, much better.

Do you know what products they used?

Sorry not necessarily fishing related, but I’m looking for a mercury mechanic within 1.5 hours of Rockford. Haven’t had any mechanical issues for years, so I don’t know much about any of the shops...

Hackney had a good vid explaining his high percentage of jig hookups and stressed the importance of not slack lining them. I always take the slack up and feel for them before jacking them, whether...

I use the nano trebles on a lot of my hard baits. I’m also a big fan of the gammie superline, I epoxy the eyes shut and snell them with a lake fork knot. I just don’t like it as well with braid, so I...

Punching, 4/0 Owner jungles mostly. I use DX795’s for fishing grass and mats. 3/4 oz t-rig is my workhorse, and I rarely miss a bite so I don’t know what the deal is. I’ll try some of the different...

Having a hard time sticking fish on a skirted punch rig. 1.5 oz weight, skirt, snelled straight shank, ultravibe speed craw. Fish bites, I tighten down, swing and 7/10 times the bait comes back. I...

They use the TH Marine thru hulls. I just replaced one yesterday and had to cut a crescent wrench down so it was stubby to tighten the nut. Used a neoprene fender washer to seal it instead of messy...

Cabela’s Saskatchewan or Trans Alaskan pac boots

I actually think shortening the tube made the rubbing problem worse and then caused the tube to split prematurely. Probably should have just left it alone. To replace it, I used two pieces of split...

I just picked up 10’ of 2.5” split wire loom on Amazon for $35. The stock one ripped just in front of the engine after I shortened it because it was rubbing the splashwell bad.

Andy Morgan is with Lew’s / Strike King now

Just went from a 25P tempest to a 24P fury. Wondering what plug setup guys with similar setups are using. Don’t want to start off by blowing the prop out. Thx.

Yep, scratched too deep to wet sand and buff out. I’m going to shorten the tube and figure out a cover up. Solid boat, but details like this are pretty annoying.
