I use them often, but if the water has lots of water plants you will get it stuck on the snap more easily than just tying on direct. Swivel doesnt seem to do this by itself.

Ive found when it gets tough there that drop shotting a Zoom green 4" or 7" worm works very well. On a boat look for humps n troughs to find the fish. The normal spots are now above water for me. Anyone been lately? Can you launch a boat now?

for a used item an Ocean Kayak Drifter is a wide platform that is hard to roll over. They can be found under $400.

I use a ML with 10 or 15 lb braid and bend the hook to the side a little as well.

I have found using a light wire hook works best to punch thru and get a hook set. I let the fish bite 3 times or so and then take up the slack and lifting the rod with a moderate hook set. No hard swing for hook set with the lighter wire.

well........dont forget Los Banos Creek resv as well. It is a fine producer of under 10lb fish. I caught a 6+ and 7 even in Hensley this year..... Oh yeah, dont come here the fishing does suck, stay home.............

caught a 6.2 last week in one of the local lakes, a 20lb'r was caught in same area this year

no bass there that i know of, its a trout lake, too high on the elevation for bass

yep, the light is self contained and slips into one of the rod holders, add a lite on your head to see with and you are set

For the heat shrink I found it real cheap at Harbor Freight, comes in a roll of 50' for under $10. I used to loose a Senko every fish or two, now it will last for several fish.

under the top cover there is a gear or pulley with a set screw, maybe it is loose. There is also a tension type screw under the foot pedal.

I just got a 798 for $816 delivered from online search, nice unit

what did you end up getting, sit in or sit on top?

found the part in stock at Glenns reel repair in Iowa I think it was.

just got an email that they dont have the part either. Still looking.

Great info guys. I found the CRKT at the local Fishermans Werehouse and am trying it.

thx the pics helped too

Ok, rookie question here-been fishing a year or so- what/how does the wire work for the trailer? How do you attach the trailer to it?

yes i am

thx for the replies. I thot i posted this in the general forum and couldnt find the post, wasnt in my profile either, so i posted again there, Got told................. somehow I screwed up and the post went here. Oh well. Thx again, I will look into these you guys have mentioned.

I have a cheapy now, want to get a good knife. $100 or less. What are you using?

Started fishing a couple of years ago. Like to eat a fish now n then. I bought the cheap one from Walmart and want to upgrade in the under $100 range. What do you guys use?

well the order is placed, hopefully they actually have it, thx again

thx
