My main line is braid but the weight and Carolina keeper are on a 3-4' mono leader.

I have started fishing tungsten bullet weights on Carolina rigs and the weights seem to be cutting my line when fishing in rocks. I am running braid with a 14 lb mono leader and Carolina keepers. I like the feel of the tungsten but is there a way to keep it from shredding the mono? Would weights with plastic inserts work better?

I think saw this on Boat Trader earlier today. It's a good looking boat but I think it's a little high. I would be interested for about $15k-$16k. As for materials if it has really been garaged and taken care of it should be fine.

I bought a new boat last year with both. I use the SI every outing. I rarely use the Power Poles.

I am right handed but I cast with whatever hand puts the rod over the bow of the boat. I have a dual console and I hit my wind shield when I cast over the boat. I taught myself to go left with a spinning rod.

I think TT went out of business.

Curado B

I would rather get a 596C than a 570DI. While the down image technology is cool, a quality color unit will serve you better in the long run.

What is the heaviest lure you would throw with it?

I am thinking about this rod for small crank baits like Bandit 100-300s and -1s. Have any of you guys used this rod and what's your opinion of it. It doesn't feel overly whippy to me but it's hard to tell without a bait tied to the end of it.

Hook sounds a little big to me too. I think 2/0 or 3/0 is plenty

I have 3 Revos and 11 Curados now, 7 are E series. The Revos are nice but they're no Curado. For the rods, I'm a St. Croix fan so get a mojo or Avid.

Take a wide felt tipped marker of whatever color and cut the tip in the middle with a razor blade. Put the line in the groove you cut and pull it through. It works great.

I bought a cover set from Ranger several years ago that were OEM replacements. They were about $450 if I remember right.

I just put a 24V TM on a small boat I have in place of a 12V. The boat came with a 2 bank charger on it. My question is can I use a 2 bank to charge both TM batteries and let the motor take care of the starting battery. I'm just not sure if both banks are deep cycle chargers.
