To me it's Minn Kota no questions asked. The motorguides I have had experience with have both been loud and a lot harder to turn than the Minn Kotas. I have had trouble with MotorGuides in weeds, but have not had a Minn Kota in the same type of vegetation so I cannot compare there.

How do these "pros" get away with not having to title the boat? Does the dealer leave it in their name and register it?

That right there would have been a much better first answer than only saying, "save your money, buy a Shimano." To each their own I guess.

He directly ask for opinions on PQ's, not on a Curado or Chronarch. Is it really that hard to give the man what he ask for? Obviously his mind is already made up about Shimano so why would LMG even mention them?

I know this has already been stated by the OP, but is it really that hard to answer the simple question he ask? As soon as I read the first post I knew why he specified that this thread was about PQ mods and not Shimano fan boys....And that it was directly related to you. There are different strokes for different folks, so why do you always, and I mean ALWAYS, try and push everyone towards Shimano? I can confidently say that I will never own a Shimano reel because of you and the way you try to force their product on people. Rant off.

I have ran a 45lb thrust trolling motor on high for well over 1 hour without running the battery all the way down. The battery was a 29 and it wasn't brand new either. I broke a steering cable roughly 4.5 miles away from the ramp...It wasn't a fun day.

I don't crazy tight on them or anything. I make sure that it isn't too tight or as you stated it is hard to pull the line under itself. I also want to be able to push any imperfections around to hide the gaps that may have been there. The epoxy is going to do most of the holding.

My vote goes to the "Blind Date".

I'm sorry to clutter the thread up, but I can't stand it when people do this. The OP simply ask which one of the two did people like better, not what line would everyone recommend. I have not used the P-Line, but I have used Yo-Zuri and I really like it. I sprayed it down with some KVD L & L and it gets my vote so far. I only have one complaint about it and that is that it is too hard to break off. I put 15lb. test on my heavy jig/t-rig rod and I can hardly break off even when I'm trying to.

And if you want to cast even further with less effort you could always take the reel apart, clean the bearings, and then lightly oil them instead of having grease/thick oil in them.

You still didn't give any more information as to what type of fishing you will be doing with the rod. Give a few more details and you will get better recommendations.

Nobody else has an opinion on this matter?

I always slide the hook in to the plastic right before the bend and then I come out.

Thanks for getting it fixed quickly. I just placed my order and can't wait to get them in!

I'm trying to add 1/4 oz. Arky Head jigs to my cart and I keep getting this message from paypal...
