Light tackle baitcaster??
A 'weightless' senko weighs d**n near 1/2 oz.

Pistol for the ol lady
Try to avoid going the lightweight route if at all possible. The recoil on the lighter revolvers is absolutely hellacious. My suggestions would include a Ruger SP101 in .357 (for versatility, quite accurate with .38 and .38 +P) or a Glock G19. I know you said you didn't want a revolver, but it might be best to at least take a look. Depending on the size of her hands, take a look at the KelTec P3AT or P11. As for the Walther, I have found them to be less than ideal for anything other than looking at. They're a pretty gun, but it is poorly designed with regard to ergonomics. Your selection should be based mainly on the size of her hands and what she can comfortably shoot. As I said earlier, just pay attention to the weight of the gun. It might seem a good idea to go lighter, but in the end it can bite you in the *** (or wrist). My wife found that out with her first pistol (Taurus PT140 in 40 S&W). It was a little too light for her and she could only manage to shoot a couple of magazines before her wrist gave out. We ended up trading it for a Ruger SP101, which when loaded with .38 +P is very comfortable to shoot. If you live near a range that offers rentals, spend a day letting her try different guns. If nothing else, I would encourage her to try the guns you already have before buying another.

My new black baby
Of all the Glock generations, G3 is my favorite. The ridges are perfectly spaced for anyone who has ever shot my G19. If I could ever stop buying rods, reels & boats, I would like to get a G20 to carry during deer season.

Do pro's pee off the boat?
If you're concerned about 'overspray', move to the bow or the stern. The front of my Tracker offers the perfect platform for calling the fish. If I'm fishing off the back of a boat, I just use the outboard to steady myself. Pretty sad that some people can't pee without falling in the lake. ;D

Coloring / painting tungsten weights - How?
Pro-Tec won't adhere to tungsten. Tried it, made a big mess.

Do pro's pee off the boat?
I've gotten to the point where I'll pretty much pee anywhere. If I'm at the ramp waiting, I'll just pee right there. Out on the water? Just hang it out. I will, however, not unirate in front of someone's house. I'll hang off the other side of the boat. Jimzee, OTOH, has public pee syndrome to the max. We were out one night last summer and he wouldn't take a whiz within 200 yards of the ramp because there were two women fishing off the courtesy dock. When you're fishing for a lot of money, you gonna go to the bank to take a leak? The only time I go to shore is to take the browns to the Super Bowl. And lately I've been contemplating just hanging onto the outboard.

Why do I continue to torture myself at these places? Wife and I went out this evening with Tom and his wife. Of course, I ate way too much. What happened to the days when I could close one of those places down?

Who'd have thought that a BR roadtrip kodak moment would happen when everyone was in the restaurant eating breakfast and Burley staggers in the room in his pj's! Nah, those were just the clothes I threw on after I got out of bed. I sleep in the nude. 8-)

Night Fishing Question
Use a spotlight only for finding the bank or landmarks on the bank. Using it for navigation is a sure way to blind other boaters and tick off quite a few people. Why would you want to mount a light on the transom for navigation? Are you running the boat in reverse? Navigation lights are required at night. Read your state's boating regulations.
