Ill sell you mine for the low low price of 29999599.95

You could be profitable getting used bulk plastics for free, separating colors, and melting them down to pour into your own molds, providing you have a customer base sold on the recycled concept. You are limiting your market. That is not necessarily a bad thing. I'f you can sell at a pricepoint between $2-$3 a bag, you will undercut the pricepoint of new plastics. Unfortunately, not everyone is sold on the concept of recycling. Secondly, and more importantly, bait manufacturers spend millions of dollars on marketing. If I think Rage Craw is the in bait this year, why would I buy Recycled Craw? and before I forget, Kudos to you for being business minded at such a young age.

Sorry to say there is no possible way you could be profitable doing that.

Anything but Shimano.... You're going to have to look into reels at the $150 plus price point for low profiles. Otherwise, look into the Abu Ambassadeur C3's

Does it have a livewell? Could be loose plumbing

You want to charge me to send you old plastics? Not gonna happen. May I suggest you pay for shipping via an agreed price with UPS or USPS for the size and weight of plastics that will fit in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. I email you when I have a full bag of plastics. You email me a shipping label, a current catalog, and a discount code to buy your recycled baits. Second, contact Bass Pro, Cabelas, Dicks, your local bait and tackle. Ask if you could place a bait recycle bin in the lobby. (Maybe a shippable tote). The bin would advertise your business and how us, as fisherman can help save the environment. Maybe a tear off coupon with your website info and a discount code.

Your son doesn't look that hairy?

Unfortunately, the cop that pulls you over won't care what Tracker says. PA isn't the only state that requires crossed chains. I would call Tracker and ask. Worse comes to worse, you bolt some chains on it.

I use spot lock usually for a vertical presentation in deep water with no current and no wind. If there's light current or light wind, I will use cruise control. I can set the cruise control speed to .1mph and set the direction. As long as there are not irregular wind gusts, this works better than spot lock because the motor doesn't need to keep correcting itself. (Note: I have the old version of the GPS head on the Terrova. The latest version is supposed to be 10x better than the gen 1 and the spot lock far superior) If the current is medium or higher, I can set the cruise control to equal the speed of the drift. This will ensure a vertical presentation. Once the drift is complete, I'll head up current and do it again. and a Talon is a shallow water anchor....

I pick apart a dock for crappie and bluegill no different than if I would pick it apart for bass. I believe that bass fishing has made me a better pan fisherman, and pan fishing has made me a better bass fisherman. ALL freshwater fish follow the same rules.

What makes you think using live bait requires sitting in one spot waiting for fish to swim by and attack your minnow or worm? I didn't read this thread except for this last page. I don't fish for bass with live bait. I do, however, fish for panfish with live bait. When I fish for them, I am not polpping the bobber out in the lake and crossing my fingers. I am actively hunting fish and moving constantly until I find them. No different than using artificials to bass fish. BTW, I catch bass all the time when I'm panfishing.

Looks like a pretty cool setup. Minn Kota has something similar

A quick search says in your home state of PA https://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/legis/LI/consCheck.cfm?txtType=HTM&ttl=75&div=0&chpt=49&sctn=5&subsctn=0 (d) Safety chains.--Whenever two vehicles are connected by a ball-and-socket type hitch, or pintle hook without a locking device, they shall also be connected by two safety chains of equal length, each safety chain having an ultimate strength at least equal to the gross weight of the towed vehicles. The safety chains shall be crossed and connected to the towed and towing vehicle and to the tow bar so as to prevent the tow bar from dropping to the ground in the event the tow bar fails or becomes disconnected. The safety chains shall have no more slack than is necessary to permit proper turning.

With 1 Talon your stern needs to be facing upriver. You can use the trolling motor to pivot on the anchor and fish perpendicular to the current. A single Talon will hold in what I call "fishable" current. It won't hold in heavy current on a hard bottom. It will on a soft bottom. I don't know if 2 would be any better in heavy current. As far as wind and 1 Talon, it's going to be similar to current using the TM and Talon in conjunction with each other. The only scenario I can think of that would require 2 Talons is bed fishing in current and wind.

I have both a Terrova with spot lock and a Talon. One does not replace the other

Your insurance will be heavily based on the value of the loss. A $30K valuation will cost more than a $10k valuation. Bot insurance is different than car insurance. A good policy does not see depreciation. If you pay $30k for your boat and it sinks 10 years later, you get $30k

I don't know about changing a man but it will certainly satisfy his appetite. OP, Take up golf

Business must be slow for as much time as you spend here

A buddy of mine got a DUI at 7am after a few beers after work 7 years ago. Hasn't picked up a drink since and still works the night shift.

and I though 4.9% was high when I financed mine. Selling payments makes dealerships tons of cash. Selling vehicles doesn't.

Great news!

Have you figured out how to watch your jig using the 2d sonar while vertical jigging?

So start out small. Not everybody needs a $50k or $100k boat. Are you looking for a fishing boat or a pleasure boat? Saltwater or freshwater? Buy gently used and hope for the best.

Get rid of your kids and the money starts to flow like water
