I used aluminum 3/16" rivets. The originals were aluminum & they lasted 8-9 years. They've been holding up well. Something to think about is how hard it will be to drill them out the next time it...

734 or 744 for me. Usually, I'd use the 734 as I don't feel I need the extra sensitivity for the technique. In my mind, the longer rod works better. Longer casts so I cover more water. Enough tip...

Punching thick hydrilla....personally I think the Fury 765 might be too light. I also think that the other 5 power rods are too light especially since you look like you're from Texas. Here on the...

It probably is cheaper to manufacture them but, the pertinent question is, does it make the reel a lower quality offering? Many years ago, people complained when (automotive) suspension pieces...

706CB does work well but I think it is easier to walk (less work) with the 734. This is for the Vixen, larger Sexy Dawg & full size Super Spook.

705CB works well for the Super Spook Jr, smaller...

Which Deka is in your boat?

The Deka Intimidator 8A31DTM is a Group 31M battery. AGM construction. That should be plenty of battery.

I used to run the Sears Platinum PM1 batteries. These...

That's what I do. I ordered a extra locking lugnut. The same 'key' works on all five wheels.

If the reel seat is loose, I'd give Dobyns a call. Seems like that should be a warranty issue to me.

Although it been a long time since I've held a Powell 754, I think, to the best of my recollection, that the 765CB Glass is the most similar. I also think that it will be a better stick for those...

Lucky Craft 1.5 squarebills are 1/2oz. If you're talking about 1.5 Strike King KVD, at 3/8oz, the 765CB Glass might not load all that well.

735CB might be a bit too soft for ripping lipless out...

The Dobyns 764CB is a graphite stick. Good stick but it will be working pretty hard with 3/4oz lipless & the chatterbaits. Power on this stick is sort of a 4 1/2. A little more powerful than the...

I use a Master vending machine lock. #443LK. I did have to enlarge the hole in the actuator/tongue just a tiny bit to fit. I got mine 'keyed alike' so they match other Master locks I have. I got...

uh.....they don't know what they are doing.

New Sierra series rods are much nicer than the Savvy series IMO. I prefer the 735 as it has a little tip making it easier to walk the frog, IMO. Plenty of power to yank fish out of the slop. I'm...

Are you sure it is that the hub(s) lost oil? I'd recommend checking the brakes for a sticking caliper. That 'silty' look could be brake dust. It was on mine.

I had a problem with a sticking...

That is what was posted in the other thread too.

Thanks Roger. Appreciate all the help you've given me.

BTW, tried to send you a PM with some of the details but your inbox is full. I was just going to thank you again for the help.

Just in case there are others with a similar set up.......

My boat is a 2003 Ranger 520VX with 6" manual Slidemaster JP and 225HP Mercury Optimax. Note that this motor has a full throttle range...

Very nice!

Tell me about the lights under the step by transom. Purpose?

I really like the 734C.

685CB is a good rod for it but doesn't seem as quite as good as the 734 to me.

Roger (and Chris) thanks for answering the question.

Question:

What type of fluid should I use in my power trim system?

Mercury/Quicksilver Power Trim and Steering Fluid – part #...

Any experience in grass? If it does collect weeds, does it shed it easily? Thanks

Did you see this chart on their website? http://www.carlislebrandtires.com/our-products/product-detail/radial-trail-hd
If you're getting them because of the speed rating, seems it doesn't matter if...

As already posted, the newer HP Extreme are a completely new rod. Blanks feel very different. They fish a little 'stiffer' or more 'crisp' than the previous generation sticks. They literally feel...
