jared...

i use a uni-knot for braid and i havent had problems. but like otheres said, i would put i little bit of superglue on the knot.

look on craigslist or the used boat stores. i just got a 12/14ft jon boat with a trailer and a 5hp mercury for 900. you can get great deals on jon boats.

thats a really nice boat. and for $6000, thats a great deal.

i use both the x calibur and the rattle trap. and in my opinion a rattle trap cant be beat. but i have caught fish off of others.

wow. thats awesome. ill have to stop by wally world this week and check mine out to see if they have anything on sale.

you should be ok. just go out in the yard before you go out and make a few practice casts to make sure.

i would like to get a portable fishfinder on my jonboat. and i was thinking of the hummin bird fishin buddy. is this any good, or is there a better one out there?

yeah. now im going with a jon boat. i just need to figure out if i wana get a 12... thanks.

im looking for something to put in the back of a truck and go fishing in ponds and small lakes. im looking to put a trolling motor on it. and go out with 1 other person. and im not sure what would be a better choice. thanks.
