Thanks guys, I will take a look tonight and try playing around with it.

I decided to upgrade a few reels with a revo and a couple pfluegers. I made sure when spooling them to keep tension on the line. Problem is no matter how I adjust the mech brake I get backlashes. I have always in the past set the brake where the lure I am using just ever so slightly (and I mean slightly) drops when the release is pressed. I tried that and got a few backlashes. I tightened the brake a bit and the same result. I loosened the brake and you guessed it, backlash. Someone please tell me what is going on. Like I said I have used the same reels for the past 6-7 years and have never had a problem like this. Edit: I forgot to mention there are no mag brakes on these reels.

Welcome, Rochester here as well.

No worries as I e-mailed lurecraft directly and they gave me a few different methods for properly getting them on. Not sure why you had a problem with sharing information with someone just looking to get into it and make a few for personal use but thats your choice.

Has anyone here used guides on Lake Murray they would recommend? My parents just recently moved there and I was thinking of getting my father a guided trip for his b-day so he can get to know the waters a bit better. Thanks

This may be a stupid question but what dictates using a drop shot over a carolina rig?

Nice looking baits. Question for you, what did you use to attach the eyes?

dmac, I just noticed in your sig you are part of the Rochester Bassmasters, I joined this past Jan. Seems like a good group of guys.

Trolling motor or padle power. In the summer it gets tough to use a trolling motor in there as the weeds come right up to the top almost all over.

I was thinking about heading out to the Durand Ponds or Mendon Ponds this weekend or next. I havent had a chance to get out yet, I cant wait. Does anyone know if you can put small boats in the Durand Ponds? I have only fished from the bank and now that I have a pelican with a trolling motor I was curious.

I'm in

Do these have any effect on the action of the lures?

I agree with B-hoggin, but B, he said he doesn't wear ANY sunglasses AT ALL right now.......... doubt he'll jump at the first 200 dollar pair. Any sunglasses are better than no sunglasses at all. (mejor que nada). ...... especially on the water. (talk about eye fatigue....) I tried sunglasses once or twice at most when I was younger but I felt it was just to dark. It might be because in general I just dont wear sunglasses ever and my eyes need to adjust? I will talk to some of the guys I fish with to see if they have some and if I might be able to try it on the water for a few hours.

Its funny I look at some of the images posted and cant make out anything. Even when people point out what it is I still have trouble sometimes. When it comes time to purchase one of these units I will be taking all the seminars I can find.

A litte ot but do you find that polarized glasses help that much? Sorry for such a dumb question but I have never used sun glasses polarized or not while fishing. Are there cheaper options for polarized sun glasses out there that work well?
