you dont see it as much as you did when floro was new but unless it says 100% fluorocarbon its a mono blend...
I know for fact that the Cabelas brand leader material is blended(and cloudy)

i enjoy bourbon neat, but scotch on ice....
BTW.... I learned the other day that the term "scotch on the rocks" isn't talking about a glass with ice and scotch but rather rocks cooled by a river or stream in order to cool the whiskey.

thanks for the input!
I went with the NFB system

So the steering on my Starcraft from 1994 has been stiff for some time now and this year it is getting to an almost unusable state so I decided its time to change it out.
Im debating on moving to a non-feedback system but I wanted the opinion of others before I spend the extra money.
Its not that it was a problem before and its only a 90 hp motor, but the advantage of the motor not turning unless you want it to is a plus.
the replacement is $180 and the non feed back system is $260
Thanks!

thanks for the response!
I did get a few walleye boards(20 bucks at a local fleet farm!) and did some tests on a deep local lake and they did great with a 300 on a totally flat lake. I may get something bigger for the bigger waves days.

Nice work Aaron, looks good, I hope you still have the rubber boot.
i dont.... it had to be cut off.... getting a cover wont be an issue though.

So I ended up making my own rod butts...
-
im going to buy some more inline boards and was going to get xt-44s.
My line of thinking is that you can pull a long copper/lead with a big board, but long coppers wont do so well with small boards...
do you have any problems detecting smaller fish with short coppers on a big inline boards?
-
I'll measure one tonight, but I think the pin is only 1/8" dia. 3/16" at the most.
Thanks!

lets get some info.... something like that is right up my alley!
-
im making some custom gimbal rod butts for my gander roller rods and I need some dimensions for the pins...
-
thank you for the response!
I may just go for it....

So i currently have two dipsy roller rods that I will be using this season.
im not sure if I have enough experience or the cojones to run wire.
would there be any downside to running braid through a roller rod?
silly question I know, but id rather make my mistakes with braid spooled on than wire...
-
that looks like a good sized lake trout.... did you happen to get a weight?
-
I know im jacking the thread but its kinda related
has any one placed an online order with Northland outlet?
id like to get a few berts holders and some other things and was wondering how they handle internet orders...
thanks and sorry for stealing the thread!

put the butt of the rod in your armpit as you reel in and hold the foregrip and guide the line on with your index finger and thumb...
iv taken a few offshore charters and this is how they taught me
the nice thing is that with no level wind the birds nests are much more manageable.

As far as tips for wire rods go....
the gander rods don't have a swivel tip... just a roller.
whats the advantage to having a swivel tip?
-
is that a guy in the water in the last pic?
-
another vote for a middle of the road cannon DSLR....
I have a few family members who have them and they take great pics
-
I have a few of these.... good rigs and the blades are some of the best around.
-
so now a question i know some one has asked...
when spooling wire start off with some mono for the non slip to the arbor.
now this is my question....
can you get away with using braid as a filler before the wire or is that asking for problems?
-
thanks you guys for all your input.
I just got back from GM and they took more of a discount off and I ended up paying $40 for each!
