Shimano Sienna Anti Reverse Issues
I just cleaned it and tore it all done to the shell, runs much better now, but for the life of me I cant get the anti reverse to work again. I tried taking it apart again and putting it back together, and then i made sure the notch was lined up with the little lever thing.... HELP!! Thanks Fishing1

Smallmouth Elite Techs
After hearing several good reviews about this series, I tried to go and find a med lt one, but it appears that they are discontinued or something? Is this true? And if so how does the HMG stack up to it? Thanks Wapsi smallmouth

Asking For A Response From Every Member
Only can talk about river smallies, but 1. Bigger. In my experience keeps little ones off you, and you might just get a big pike while your at it. 2. as its been said slower, I personally still haven't been able to do anything with soft plastics or jigs, but the cranks and top waters I throw are better fished slowly. 3.Put in the work. Take a good hike or drag your boat down some forgotten, barely reachable beach and get away from where everyone else is. Wapsi smallmouth.

Essential Beginning Lures
Hey, i want to start getting into some lake largemouth when i can't get to my smallmouth rivers, what are some good lures to begin with. Its not a deep lake (60 feet, but it does thermocline at around 15) and even though its man made doesn't fluctuate except maybe just a few feet. No docks, lots of weed and some wood, and a good crayfish, and shad population. There is a 18 inch limit on these fish so there are some good ones out there. Thanks wapsi smallmouth

What To Look For In A Fish Finder
oh i assumed that DSi and 2d was the same kinda cone, but just interpreted differently on the screen, but it is more detailed just smaller cone
-
What To Look For In A Fish Finder
i noticed that other brands used it for down scanning so that might be nice even with the limited cone
-
What To Look For In A Fish Finder
so you wouldn't really recommend a unit with those frequency ranges. Cause i noticed that humminbirds use those frequencies alot
-
What To Look For In A Fish Finder
Ok that did clear things up and i have an understanding of what the whole 200 kHz thing, but every unit i look at has a like 83 and 200 or something like that. Is 455 any real advantage or have any use Thanks Wapsi smallmouth

What To Look For In A Fish Finder
i do have a question though when it says Humminbird® PiranhaMax™ 175 Sonar Dimensions: Height - 6.5 in. Width - 3.87 in. Depth - 3.5 in. Display size: 4 in. Pixel count: 240 x 160 Display type: 256 Color TFT Frequency: Dual Beam - 200/455 kHZ Sonar max depth: Dual Beam - 600 ft. Transducer type: XNT-9-28-T Waterproof: Yes Power supply: 10-20 vDC Output power: Peak to peak - 1,600 watts RMS - 200 watts Warranty: 1 year limited Made in the USA Temperature reading can not be turned off. What does the frequency do and what's a good # for that along with when it says like 200/16° what does that mean

What To Look For In A Fish Finder
Im looking for a fish finder for my kayak and i have never bought one before and i have no idea what i should be looking for. I don't want any down imaging or side just a simple fish finder under 120. I was looking at the pmax 175 and the lowrance x-4 pro so if anyone has an opinion on these that would be great. Thanks Wapsi smallmouth
