Good for you SW. That must be pretty scary to deal with.

No.

Pretty sweet Ike. You saved like $1000 over the jdm guys.

If you can get a fiberglass boat for half the price of an aluminum, don't buy it. Something wrong here....

Girth 13.01". ? without actually measuring

Bluebasser won the giveaway. 🙂

Nope. Got to buy a whole new set. You know that 1 is a fake haha

I clicked expecting some new HiSeas bag of some sort. 😡 (fake)

3/4 and 1 oz. lipless baits are great for bomb casts. Still a relatively small bait, really.

Well Jon, i don't think they are "selling their souls" nor that money is evil. I do agree with you that there might be some that mindlessly follow whatever the pros are doing or thinking they have to fish like a pro to catch fish. That's on them.

Haha , but no. It is cover. Structure doesn't move.

If it was original in unopened condition i would not use it. Otherwise, i would fish it.

Thanks waytooslow.

Nice, Ata....that rod/reel combo looks kind of expensive i would guess. Awesome.

U tube has a bunch of repair videos

Michigan luremakers: Heddon & sons, Helin tackle (daredevle), and dozens of companies from 1920's to 1960's Anglers: KVD, JVD, a couple other pros whose names escape me, Ajay, Mibassyaker, and others...... Henry Ford, Dodge brothers, President Gerald Ford, Chief Pontiac Sorry to all the great people of michigan to whom i forgot.... Well! it didn't look like this when i typed it lol

I have never found the need to use a line conditioner, using trilene XL on my b/c or spinning reels. I do re-spool twice during the season. l will not use floro. I suppose if i did i would find the need . $25 line and another $10 for conditioner- no thanks.

II would've guessed 2 hrs. if i was doing it.

Nice Joe, just for s & g's - how long did it take you ?

Thanks Glen...

Nancy wants a royalty haha. I like that song and the video..

squirt ? skirt.

I think my first time fishing was in 1964, when i was seven. Dad said lets go for a ride and we headed out for a 30 minute drive past some lakes. We stopped at a party store and i got an orange crush pop (a treat for me at the time) and dad got something, i didn't know what. We got back in the car and drove a few more miles and came to a little bridge and we pulled over and stopped. A good sized lake was on one side of the road, with a small backwater on the other. Dad pulls out this little piece of plastic with about 20' of line, a bobber, and a hook. It cost 10 cents. He started digging for worms, got one, and told me to pinch an inch or so off the worm and thread it on the hook. I dropped the worm down about 6' to the water that was only 3' deep. I caught 23 bluegill/sunfish in a half hour. The biggest might have gone 4". My favorite childhood fishing memory is when i went with dad and his buddy from work rented a little 12' boat. His buddy hooked something, not sure it was a fish, but somehow he lost his rod and into the lake it went, in about 15' of water. He said that his wife would kill him if he lost her pole. That was when he stripped to his skivvies and dove in to try to get it. He failed. I never saw that guy again. At twelve years old, i was in Ky. with my family, visiting all the relatives. I had a birthday and dad took me into town and i got an Eagle Claw ultra light combo and a 1" jointed minnow. Caught my first lm on grandad's pond. Loved it ever since.

stay on !
