  1. So another question would be why are there rods for just F&P???? I mean why wouldnt you just use the rod you are already using for the bait you are going to F&P. ????
  2. Ok guys, so what is flipping and pitching exactly???? I mean obviously, your are pitching a bait at a very paticular location i take it. But cant you just do that with a jig or t-rigged bait. What type of lures do you use for flipping and pitching???? Basically, what is the difference in f&p and just regular jig fishing??? I usually pitch 90% of my jigs when I am just normally fishing... Any and all help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt
  3. How hard is it to change the oil in the lower unit. I am pretty mechanically inclined, but i have NEVER worked on a boat. I have rebuilt dirt bikes, crotch rockets, worked on cars..... So do you think I can handle chaning out the oil in the lower unit....
  4. Yea it is a 2 stroke engine and I have a can of seafoam. What about changing my fuel filter???? Any thoughts on that
  5. Ok guys, so I just bought my first boat. It is a 2002 Bass Tracker 165 with a 25 hp motor on it. The boat is in pretty good shape, has tilt and trim. My question / problem is that the boat hasnt been started since probably this time last year. There is still fuel in the tank. I am assuming that I need to remove this fuel before starting the boat. Also, should I add some seafoam or something to my fisrt tank of gas I run through the motor? Any and all help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot, Matt
  6. The pline is cxx i think and yea i got the stren at the shop, someone just left it in there so it was free and i had been wanting to try it so i will see what happens i guess. Thanks for the help though.
  7. Ok guys, so I just tied on my first copolymer and fluro lines. The copolymer was pline of some sort and it feels very stiff, and seemed to have a lot of memory coming off the spool. The fluro was stren and it felt rough as it was sliding through my fingers. Has anyone else experienced any of these issue with these lines or types of lines???? thanks for any and all comments guys, Matt
  8. Hey Prjavelin.... Quit trying to steal my boat partner....LOL... Just playin man.... Yea, I will bank fish, but it would be awesome if someone would let me tag along on a fishing trip sometime.. Good Luck Javelin
  9. Toho..... Yea, I need all the advice I can get, never really fished anywhere but 100 miles from my house so any advice is welcomed. Thanks man
  10. So I just found out that my in laws just bought a house in the Orlando area, I dont really know where exactly but one thing I do know for sure is that I need someone to take me fishing when I go down..... So anyone in the Orlando area that needs a boat partner, let me know....LOL
  11. Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone uses the Hydrowave and if so what are your thoughts on this piece of equipment.. Any and all comments welcome. Thanks a lot, Matt
  12. Hey Roadwarrior, can you only get those online or does a retailer carry them. I have a Dicks, and a Cabelas close to me....
  13. Ok guys, I really like fishing spinnerbaits at a paticular body of water I fish and have done really well in the past. However, I have never used a trailer on any of my spinners. I was watching a Hank Parker video the other day and he said he ALWAYS uses a trailer. So my questions is, what are some of your favorite trailers to use on your spinners, thanks for any and all comments, Matt
  14. So generally, Copolymer is a more sensitive, strong, "better" line than mono???? How about the strech on a copolymer???? Also, what would be the ideal application, a jig, texas rig type or a top water type bait???? Thanks guys, keep the comments coming, Matt
  15. Hey guys, I got some 15 lb Pline Copolymer line for free today and was wondering what you guys think of this line. Any and all comments and opinons welcomed. Thanks, matt
  16. Awesome guys, thanks a lot. I looked at Lure Parts Online and all they had that I could find was in 1/8 oz. But I will keep checking. I really appreciate the help.
  17. Hey guys, I have been looking online for the round, circular wire for my spinnerbait heads and all I can find are 1/8 oz heads. Pretty much everything that is bigger than that all have the "r" style wire. Does anyone know where I can find what I am looking for? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Matt
  18. Sounds good, thanks a lot guys. I appreciate it.
  19. Hey guys, I heard that in order to use braided line, you need to have a rod with metal eyes. For example, I have a Veritas, and the eyes of it arent metal, would it work. I heard it would grove your eyes if they werent metal. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, matt
  20. Hey guys, mulling over the idea of making my own spinnerbaits. Wondering where I can buy the materials to use. Where is the best place with the largest selection. Also, what are some of the best ball bearing swivels to use, I have heard there is a difference in which ones you use. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, Matt
  21. I JUST watched a Hank Parker spinnerbait DVD, like really 5 minutes ago...lol.. Anyway, there was a segment on the video about making spinnerbaits. He said his favorite spinnerbait is a 3/4 oz head with .029 wire, with a #3 colorado up front and a #7 indiana blade on the rear. Just thought I would let ya know. Good Luck
