  1. A Palomar Knot will hold just fine.
  2. That head design has been around for years!
  3. For the price of having a foldaway tongue built you could DIY a really nice boat cover.
  4. K.I.S.S. 😉 When you buy it order a cover for the boat & outboard. Easier to find storage outside.
  5. Getting fish out of pads has it's own set of problems. Getting fish out of pads while on the bank comes with additional problems. Getting fish up & over a handrail adds even more problems. Bubba bass fishing at its finest!
  6. That's my problem 😕 I know this Alweld can't catch that Lund!
  7. Original Rat-L-Trap Grass Early pre-spawn
  8. Just because there's a large number of anglers on the water doesn't mean they know what they're doing. I would rather fish behind 10 weekend warriors than 1 @A-Jay!
  9. Sam Rayburn Reservoir is maintained by Texas Parks & Wildlife as a tournament lake. It gets more tournament pressure than any lake in the nation. If one were to look at the tournament results they would find the quality & quantity are as high as ever. You can take what you from that research but the results speak for themselves.
  10. What I actually spent or what my wife thinks I spent? Slow year, probably a couple grand.
  11. @Way2slow I hear ya 😉 Scotty has taken over handling the boat, I still run the trolling motor. I can't fish out of a canoe or kayak, I gotta have a seat.
  12. The bench seat doubles as a rear casting deck.
  13. I do not give my rods names! That way if I throw a spinnerbait on my jig rod it doesn't get confused! Texas Rig Powell Inferno 703C 7'0" Medium Heavy X-Fast Kistler Helium HE7045HMH 7'0" Medium Heavy X-Fast Jig-n-Craws Diawa Tatula TTU711MHXB 7'1" Medium Heavy X-Fast
  14. This is my son Scotty & friend Jacob. Notice how Scotty is sitting on the pedestal seat & the seat it in the base. Instead of twisting to reach the tiller you simply swivel.
  15. Given you suggest budget, tow vehicle & wanting a boat, motor, trailer, trolling motor, & electronics you're looking at Tracker Pro 170 with a 50 hp. The Classic XL has a two piece livewell that is notorious for leaking.
  16. 2024 TRACKER® GRIZZLY® 1754 SC w/Mercury® FourStroke 75 ELPT FourStroke $23,580 Add your own trolling motor & electronics
  17. All Jon Boats down are sold with 3 pedestal seat bases on the rear bench. We have done it this way so long manufacturers offer it as an option.
  18. Don't do it! Those extensions do not stay tight on the handle due to the material the OEM handle is made of. A folding chair would not be a safe option either. I put a pedestal seat off to one side on the back "seat". If necessary I will straddle the back seat (sit side saddle).
  19. I don't like using a "heavy" wire hooks for punch rigs or jigs, they are over kill. A thin wire hook will penetrate faster but flexs too much. The Hack Attack Fluorocarbon Jig has the ideal diameter hook.
  20. Repeat 😉
  21. I'm very capable, just prefer not to. I do routine maintenance but once a year I send them out for a deep cleaning. From the week of Thanksgiving until Christmas I don't fish alot so I send they out 2×2.
