  1. If you take care of your equipment you won't have problems. It called preventative maintence. If you unscrew the booms and lubricate the booms once you won't have problems with corrosion. No matter what you pay for equipment if you take care of it. It will last forever. I use #10 & #12 lb round coated weights

  2. Had my BJ for about 8 years with NO issues at all. Would buy again but next time they will be electric. Wondering why you are going with the gadabout instead of the captains pac. There's alot of used captains pac's for about the same price as the new gadabout? I run them as my corners, next out to the side dipsey, and than boards for a 6 rod set up.

  3. I thought fishing in general was an expensive gig, but big water fishing takes things to a whole new level:eek:

    I hada $50 gift card to Gander Mountain, so the family went this morning to do some shopping. Here is a pic of what I bought. How did I do?

    I bought:

    8"SD white crush glow

    8" dreamweaver paddle mtn dew/crush glow on white

    8" dreamweaver paddle blue bubble/crush glow on white

    dreamweaver action fly blue bubble

    dreamweaver action fly blue dolphin

    gander mountain brand blue dolphin spoon

    gander mountain brand caramel dolphin spoon

    10 pack of bechhold #6 snap swivels with piggybacks

    and the girls had to have some jerky and gummy bears:D

    I still need to buy some walker deeper diver dipsies, but gander only had luhr jenson dipsy divers, mono for dipsy reel backing, 30-40 lb braid for dipsy, 40 lb mono for leaders. After that I should be ready to atleast hit the water.

    Below is what I have bought since December to get started:

    *2 Walker Lake Ranger manual downriggers (came with 2 free walker downrigger rods) $200

    *2 8 lb downrigger balls $40

    * 2 penn 309 reels used $50

    *2 17" betrs tracks $90

    *2 berts ratcheting rod holders $90

    *2 okuma 30d convector reel/rod combos $170

    * used flashers,spoons,flies, and plugs(steal of a deal) $40

    *2 traxstech downrigger swivels for tracks $110

    * stuff bought today minus jerky and gummies $55

    I probably have another $100 for the things I need.

    I just hope I get out enough to make it all worth while. I can't wait to see a diver rod pop and start screaming:ps-020:

    Get used to it????????
