I want to tie a couple peices of core togther, my question is what the best way to do this?? make the splice using a peice of mono and tie with the willis knot??? or can i use another knot and just tie the cores togther without the mono splice??? Thanks!!! and Happy Thanksgiving EVERY one!!!

sorry anton, i didnt see the size as much as the color i use the larger ones and run them off a downrigger or dipsy diver
-
these are very much like the hot spots.....ive used them and have caught fish with them
-
try here and in the store thay have lots of colors.......but anton you are in another country if i remember corectly???

No expert here, just suggestion. what is good one like that going for??? then start figuring out what it would cost to rebuild the motor, etc. etc subtract that ammount from the value of the good boat, and that may put you in the ball park.....it is only worth what someone is willing to pay or someone is willing to take for it!!

frank ive used cabelas lead core and if the non-lead is made like to real stuff it will work just fine, i got a 200yrd spool of real lead and had no trouble with it and ran it this year about 12-18 times out and at that price i think id give it a shot!!!

JIM "It mounts to the back of the current steering box so it adds more than 10in"
a Simrad ap14R said he needed 14in of clearance to install it I had about 7in to work with." JUST trying to help and save you some $$$$!! NOT a argument......you REMOVE the old rotary box and and install a new rotary box with a drive motor and according to the simrad istallation guide you need 10in total.....can a hole and box work?? it would need to be 3-4 in deep......here is a link to the install giude i hope it will make little more clear on the install.....page 13 of the guide gives you the specs needed for the install http://www.simrad-yachting.com/en/Products/Leisure/Autosteering/Powerpilots-AP12-AP14/AP14-Powerpilots/Downloads/

JIM, "I am converting my boat to Hyd steering this winter so I can put a autopilot on."
did you look at the Simrad AP-14-R??? fits a rotary box and needs 10 inches of clearance behind the helm, still going to cost you $1500+ but you dont need to install the whole hydro stuff to get a auto-pilot, ive been wanting one for my islander and have been saving for it,

I as well got them tested however Ive had the same luck as Jim did, no fish. i am impressed with the yogurt flies and they are well made, the tinsel material is of very good quality. the color selection is awesome, i did get a fish to hit (even if it was off before i got the rod out of the holder) the blue kiwi finger punch tournament series. one of the little things that i really liked about the flies was the way the the lure was packaged, namely the fly/leader/hooks came in a reusable zip-lock bag. i really liked this, they are easy to store and do not take up much room, and one thing Ive had a hard time in the past was trying to find a good way to store flies. and with the yogurt flies it is not problem, i agree fully with 1 mainiac (Jim) giving them a A+ rating. i wish that the season was not about over as i would really like to really give them a good washing!!! if i am able to get out again i will add to this post to report my findings. i want to thank Tim Crichton for allowing me to test and wish Yogurt Flies much success

thx guys.....as usual great readin!!! i try to get the kids on board as much as possible and seems like a long time now i dont even have to tell them to "Amor-up" and one of the good things ive noticed is that when one of the lil-fish-catchers decides to chum the lake, someone soon will be yelling "Fish On"!!!!!

i could of not said it better......i hope you are feeling better!!! venting can be really good sometimes!!!
-
YES, 5yrs too late.....it maybe made by BERKLY....GMT-40 is correct as well as not avaible anymore!!!
-
good idea mike.....a hole would work, as far as the clip twisting....NOPE... i do crank the screw down so that it is GOOD-n-TIGHT!!!!
-
mike, YES file or i used nail clipper and then filed smooth off the little alignment pin/tab. and the pinch pads will NOT wear or get torn up!!! try it on one youll see!!! works good last LONG time
-
mike id like to try.....sent you a PM....

mike, "should I purchase the single release and add it to the cannonballs? "
if you run it off the tail/trailing loop on the ball/weight, when you load up the rod this will cause the ball to be pulled up at the tail and pitch the nose down and cause some tracking trouble...when ive stacked i just used my blacks as normal and just added the double pimch pad type stackers......but not used them for a while and like mainiac stated "It seemed that way to often the bottom rod would grab the top rod when a fish hit " HAPPY COMBAT FISHING!!!! john

here is my no-slip fix...take apart the clip and remove the TINY plastic tab...rotate 180deg. and reassemble.....the line is pulled into the clip and not out of it. braid wont slip out and board will not come off and slide down and knock that monster in the head......
when your done run your line like this......NO more bandaids/rubberbands!!!!!
