Power Pole Mounting
I dont have a jack plate on my boat but was wondering if it was possible to mount the power pole to the motor bracket that gets mounted to the boat and operates the electric trim, Its a 115 optimax. I hate the idea of having to drill holes in the boat.

Choosing Unit For Front Of Boat
I currently have a hds 5 in dash with structure scan, I'm thinking of either moving that unit up to the front of the boat and putting a 7 in dash or leaving the 5 and putting a 7/5 at the front. What do you suggest?

Weight Pegs
Thats exactly what I'm using it for. Fishing heavy pads , texas rigging a craw and punching through heavy cover- mostly lilly pads. Ive tried a few different plastic pegs but they are too small for the 1 oz opening, they'll start off pretty good but when I start setting the hook the bobber stop peg style gets stuck inside the head and loses its effectiveness. That would take a lot of skirt material to peg a 1 oz weight, Ive tried using the plastic pegs and it takes a couple strands to keep it in place. The idea about using the bead might be the trick, It would also act a rattle too.. Great idea. Thanks.

Weight Pegs
Im having a hard time finding a weight peg that will keep from sliding through the hole when setting the hook. 1 oz tungsten weight specifically. I end up having to result to using a tooth pick which Im not to fond of, I worry it could lead to break offs. what do you use?

Hot Weather Thick Weeds
As an update, I havent had a chance to out all that much but when I do Ive been primarily targetting shallow water pads and dense weed cover near deep water and been have success. Using both a flipping jig when the weeds arent too thick or a 1 oz pegged craw. Black, Black w/ blue flake, Green pumpkin with black flake, Green pumpkin with black and red flake.

Living Rubber
I recently ordered from barlows and it came in solid strips, not like the typical silicone that released by cutting the ends. Does rubber come like this also? kind of a pain to seperate them all by hand.

Quality American Made Knife
Kershaw, Sog, Ontario. Depending on what you expect from it? Hard to beat an ontario fixed blade as a survival knife. Ive used mine time and time ago while camping in Algonquin park for shelter building, fire building, general use.

Batteries Crapped Out? Which Ones To Buy?
I have yet to buy them yet, the trays in my nitro z6 can carry group 27s , I would like to get the maxx 29s but may have to see about switching out the trays with larger ones or modifying the current ones to hold the 29s. I saw the everstart 27s but doesnt look like they have maxxs in the 27
