Tucker's the Rough & Tumble type, so he's been in one of these a few times. Still, I'm pretty sure he hates us. ? A-Jay

Issues changing out split rings (Owner Hyper Wire)
I agree that the 6th Sense baits have very decent hardware, some of the best in fact. But at this point is may be more about 'consistency' through my boxes. I know & have confidence in what I've been using. Meaning, I have a very good idea what it takes to sink the steel and keep it there. Doesn't guarantee anything and doesn't mean I don't lose a few. But I'm good with what's been working so unless something changes, I plan on keeping that rolling. A-Jay

Issues changing out split rings (Owner Hyper Wire)
I change EVERY treble hook & split ring from stock. As well as on the water when one get's beat up and needs to be replaced I wish I could tell you that there is some 'secret' to doing this. But honestly, there is not. See for yourself A-Jay

Been using the Owner Rings successfully for a while. In various sizes from #2 up to & including #5. Switched out trebles from size 6 to 2/0 with these rings. Never once has one distorted like that. No clue what your ring changing 'process' is, but I'd recommend that you use 'less' of it. A-Jay

Who rigs the boat?
In my case, I wanted the dealer to install as much of it as they could. That way they would be familiar with (and perhaps more responsible for) what happens further down the road. Also, they let me sit in and watch much of the install. I learned a ton. A-Jay

Need to buy basic accessories for a new boat - help me spend my money
When it comes to truck and trailer wheel lug nut removal, and even prop nut when it initially comes from the factory, whether removing them at home or on the road, a breaker bar can be a life saver. Mechanical advantage rules. And a quality Torque wrench will take all the guess work out of as well. A-Jay

Thank you and I hope Abby can be better soon. At this point, and seeing how we funded so much of it, we expect to be getting courtesy copies of the college graduation certificates of the the local Vet's kids. A-Jay

Spike-it markers are legit
Been a Spike-It marker user & abuser for a while now. Prefer to do it at least the night before but it will work OK 'on the water' as well. This one starts out as a pearl white bait . . . A-Jay

The Cone of Shame ~ Tucker's getting one this morning too. He's got a 'bare skin' spot on a front paw that he just will not stop licking. He's an 'outside' dog and needs the fur #frostbite I'll post a pic after it's 'installed'. The cone is HUGE and He will not be happy either. A-Jay
