  1. Never mind, I answered my own question. They are called "circuit breaker boots". Just gotta have the right terminology.
  2. My Nitro has 2 push buttons on it's bow to tilt the motor up and down. The switches work fine, I just tore the black, rounded, rubber covers that screw on and hold the switch into the plate. Where can I get these? I searched ebay but didn't see them.
  3. I could watch those all day long. My favorite, like most, is the F14 Tomcat. My brother-in-law flew one for 20 yrs in the military. He's a commercial pilot now.
  4. Pass our congrats to the bro!
  5. Never done it before but I just "you tubed" "airbrushing crankbaits" and found quite a few vids on if. Kinda makes me wanna give it a go.
  6. Now why u gotta do this to us....
  7. jealous, so jealous
  8. Reserve capacity is what you are looking for. The higher the better. I have never owned an Optima but have heard good things about them. Also heard good things about the Everstarts from Wally World.
  9. I can't wait for a jig bite; there's nothin like it!
  10. It gets real when it goes full circle and you start taking your Dad out fishing. I have great memories of my Dad waking me up early, eating Cheerios quietly so we didn't wake Mom, sneaking out of the house before daylight and hitting the water for a day of fishing. Then, all of the sudden it seemed, I owned a boat, truck, house etc... and my Dad was older. I remember the first time I picked him up before light and drove him to the launch.
  11. Good for you dude! The smiles and excitement on their faces is something you'll never forget.

    I just ordered these pants: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Clothing/Mens-Casual-Clothing/Mens-Rainwear/Mens-Rainwear-Bibs-Pants|/pc/104797080/c/104746680/sc/104522580/i/104090580/Cabelas-GORE-TEX174-EXV8482-Pants-150-Tall/750200.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse%2Fmens-rainwear-bibs-pants%2F_%2FN-1100877%2FNs-CATEGORY_SEQ_104090580%3Fgclid%3DCIeB1vLZuL0CFTBgMgodLCQA_w%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds%26WTz_l%3DSBC%253BMMcat104797080%253Bcat104522580&WTz_l=SBC%3BMMcat104797080%3Bcat104522580%3Bcat104090580 And there are some good deals on jackets and bibs too.
  13. See, I like the 112 myself. OP, this is why you just gotta get a couple of each and see what the fish want that day. A given size will perform better than the other under certain conditions. The Rapala HJ12 is my 'ol standby for a reason...
  14. I think this is the one you mean:
  15. The Rage chunk is a perfect trailer for any jig in the 5/16 and up area.
  16. Spring is there, cuz it sure ain't here!
  17. I think you may mean "when I flip it to the 6V setting", not 6A? No? That charger looks like it has the capability to charge in 6V mode or 12V. You definitely want to be using the 12V side. And what Wayne said about the battery being charged when the needle is down is accurate.
  18. Let's not forget these:
  19. Dang, so many good ones. Fresh Price, Hillbillies, both good. For recent ones I'd say Family Guy and King of the Hill.
  20. Great question. I, too, fish a jig a lot and wonder if I should be throwing a t-rigged craw or jighead craw. No hijack btw... Will wait for answers.
  21. You sure trans is bad, not just popped trans fluid line? Maybe? Hoping?
  22. Nah, 20 is what I use on all my baitcasters and works fine.
  23. Are you ready for my shipping address yet?
  24. Quite possibly one of the most simple, informative answers I've seen. Well said Brian. Absolutely can't go wrong with these jigs and colors.
  25. Sometimes a brace can mask a weak core or weak supporting muscles. Not saying this is your case, as we have never even met but you may also want to look into a light weight training program to fix the root of the problem. Check for a personal trainer at a local gym. He/she could give you some exercises to do at home even.
