  1. I like the Shimano Citica. If you can find a NIB Citica E that's even better but the G works fine. Out of curiosity where are you from? Not many forum post ask for prices in euros.
  2. This may not be the right forum but I need help getting rid of chipmunks in my yard. I live on a lake and we have always had a lot of them but this year it's terrible. I have been killing them with a shotgun when I see them but now I need a WMD. I have tried poisons, repellents, and everything else I can find on the web but the just keep coming. I have dogs so I really don't want to put out anything they might get into. Anybody got a way to get rid of these things?
  3. I have a pontoon with a 75hp Mariner. When I turn the key the solenoid always clicks but the starter doesn't always turn. It can take 4-5 times of turning the key back and forth before it engages. My first thought was bad starter but when I run power straight to the starter it cranks fine every time. I swapped the solenoid but the old one was fine. The bendix cycles up and down free and all of the connections are good. I check the switch and it is good too. Anybody have an idea as to what else it could be?
  4. Zoom baits don't float well because they have a lot of salt in them. The lizard sort of drags along bottom behind the weight until the weight hits a rock of stick. When you pop the weight over the lizard will fly up erratically. If you want it to floating add a foam ear plug to your line right at the hook but IMO it does get S many bites.
  5. My shakey head spinning rod is a St Croix Avid 68mxf. I use 30 lb braid and change the leader to the conditions. Most of the time I use 10 lb flouro.
  6. Another Alberto vote. I used to use the uni to uni and never had issues but the Alberto goes through micro guides better.
  7. I had a real bad run of luck a few years ago and had to get 3 different hooks cut out of me in 6 months. One broke off under the skin while trying to pull it out of my finger, one was right beside my eye and I was scared of blinding myself removing it, but the worst was my nephew hooked the back of my neck with a Ratl Trap during his back swing. It actually caught a nerve. Knock on wood I haven't had one in a while.
  8. X3 for Zoom. Chartreuse Pumpkin is my favorite color.
  9. I only use it for deep dropshotting and jigging spoons. I can see the bait better on the screen.
  10. For fun fishing I tie a sunfly about 12" up from the shakey head and another 12" up from that. I have never caught a big fish on it but catching 2 spots at once is fun on light tackle.
  11. You can use the mounting bracket in the link below but for about $20 more you can get the puck transducer that looks better and doesn't hang down as far. http://www.basspro.com/Humminbird-Transducer-Trolling-Motor-Adapter-Bracket/product/58968/?cmCat=CROSSSELL_THUMBNAIL
  12. I got mine in a week and have fished it about 3 trips so far. It is much quieter than Power Pro and seems to cast well. It does have some memory but its worth the $4.99.
  13. These are the best days to fish. Fish bite better with the prefront and low pressure. An added bonus is the fair weather fishermen aren't sitting on your favorite spots.
  14. Is the smile on his face because he was not hurt or he remembered its the sponsor's boat?
  15. I use a 1/0 Damiki for weightless.
  16. Green pumpkin, black emerald, and root beer green.
  17. X2 you won't find a better new rod under $200
  18. I have a spare spool for my Chronarch D and thought it would be useful but find a need. I just pick up another od if I need lighter or heavier line.
  19. I have had 2 on a crank bait a few times. In the fall I fish a shakey head with a sunfly tied about a foot above it and have caught tons of double spots on it.
  20. I don't have any experience with Talons but my Power Poles have not failed me once in the 2 years I have had them.
  21. For $250 I would buy 2 Citica E's and a second rod.
  22. 4" Zoom lizard or finesse worm.
  23. Why can't you just spin the Humminbird mount around? Does it need to be elevated to clear the windshield?
  24. I don't know about the replay but day 3 is on tonight from 10-12.EST.
  25. X2 I use the full size tri wing too.
