17' Nitro bass boat w/ 115 hp Merc 16' Glastron open bow w/ 60 hp Johnson (probly gonna sell) 10' aluminum jon boat

Yeah, good luck with that. I can't find one either. Only one seller in Europe, and it didn't come with the 8 boxes. Let me know how you do, I'm still looking.

Done. It would be interesting to hear the results.

Man, you did a really nice job on that boat, and I'm sure you'll get way more enjoyment out of it than the money you put into it, but because you're wondering, I'd say you could get between $650-$750 for such a clean little fishing package like you built there. Good job.

Yeah, that goes for me too. We got a great group here, and a top notch site to show for it. Keep up the good work, and before you know it, Bassresource will be 100,000 members strong!

Nice, bro. I did go down to one of my regular ponds, and no ice! I'm goin out this weekend. Good luck to everyone else wettin' a line around here, too!

I live in southern NH, and was wondering what lakes or ponds are ice free? I'm itchin to take the boat out, and maybe even catch my first bass of '09. Thanks

Thanks, everybody. Good stuff about the tupperware. I did that, now I just have to air out my box! Thanks a lot!

Yup, same for me, nothin yet, plus the only real open water I've been able to find is the Merrimack River, and I've tried a few times from the bank, but nothing so far. Soon I'll be dropping the boat in and gettin' on 'em, though. Good luck to you all.

Ok, so I went on down to the river today, and it was rediculously muddy, so I threw a spinnerbait with a trailer dipped in jj's majic. This is the first time I've used the stuff, and I could use some advise on what to do with a bait after using this it. I put the whole spinner with trailer in a ziploc bag, but you can smell this stuff from 2 rooms away, and its still in my tackle box! Any ideas? Thanks

I'm pretty sure you could also get this color from *** with their *** for a much better value

If it were me, I'd probably use that third rig for a suspending jerkbait or a lipless crank in craw color. Have fun!

PM sent, NBR. I'm looking into both for you guys today, and I'll be back here around 3:00 ish.

pm sent

Yeah the flappin' hogs work, but when it comes time to re-up, check out the *** jig trailers (cant beat the price and quality is awesome). Also might want to look into the new line of Rage Tail Craws and Chunks, friggin amazing action!

Brother, you have to throw the Rage Tail Toad! That's all there is to it!

Congratulations, now no bass is safe!

alright, thanks guys. This is my new baby, and I only want to give her the best stuff for her. Appreciate the help

I just bought a Pfleuger Trion (lefty), and am extremely happy with it. The other one I was considering was the Abu Revo (also available in lefty). I had the same intended uses as you do, and the same budget. Good luck

I do that exact same thing on my not-so-clear lakes and ponds without a problem. It's especially good for frogs, t-rigged plastics, and buzzbaits. One thing to consider, would be if its a bright color braid, run a sharpie up and down the last few feet of your line to disguise it a little better. Have fun out there!

Hey there, I recently just purchased a 'Nitro bass boat with a '95 115hp Mercury. Not knowing what type of oil the previous owner ran, and was wondering if I can Use the Mercury Synthetic stuff. Thanks,Shane

Nice goin' man!! Good to see New England back on the map.

Yes!!!!! Thank you all for your comments, I'm thinking early this year I'll start throwing some jigs with the craws for trailers, then the shad during prespawn on the lakes and ponds, then the lizard will probly kill 'em while they're on the beds, then it's on with the space monkey, anaconda, and lobster all summer! It's gonna be a great year!

Man, The bait monkey got me again today, and this time it was a space monkey! Actually, today I bought a couple bags of the entire Rage Tail line, so my question is for those of you who have used them. I know these things have quite a few rigging options, but what do you say on water conditions that they work best in, and what works best? I'm looking forward to throwing an Anaconda or a Space Monkey, they look delicious! Thanks

So, my friend (dynamic level here on bass resource) went out and spent some good money on the new trigger-x line. He got a couple of a few different kind, including the big bug, and the senko-like style ones, and some others. So I was wondering who has used 'em, and what kind of feedback you might have about them. They look pretty sweet to me, but we're still surrounded by hard lakes here. Thanks for chiming in!
