  1. Ram Mount is what you want. No they aren't super cheap but they will provide the flexibility that you want.
  2. Congrats on your new PB!
  3. A Blakemore Road Runner would be a good option. They can catch anything that swims and will still usually catch something under the toughest conditions. You can't fish them wrong as long as you fish them slow!
  4. Probably a black and blue laminate Yum Dinger.
  5. It depends on what you plan on using it for.
  6. If I had to pick just one type of presentation, I'd have to say a dropshot is my favorite for smallies. If you know they're there, it's tough to beat. If you can find rock/ gravel with patches of grass, you might just find the mother load.
  7. I'm guessing it's got a flowrite valve it in for the livewell. Depending on what valve is installed, it will let in water as it's supposed to. That way as the pump runs it brings in some fresh water instead of recirculating it all. There should be a dial or switch somewhere that would offer a little more information as to what you have.
  8. I'm going to say a Blakemore Road Runner. If it swims you can catch it on a Road Runner!
  9. More proof that the hook trick really does work.
  10. Because you also said frogs I'm going to say braid. Put a short leader on for baits with treble hooks to prevent the braid from fouling your hooks.
  11. It'll be the next "BIG" thing in fishing haha
  12. I wish they would have let us watch this video when I was getting trained on fork lift!
  13. He's taking the big worm fishing to a whole new level!
  14. If I had to guess, I'd say it'd have to do with the changing weather conditions. A wind that doesn't blow from one consistent direction is usually a good indication of a changing weather pattern and can mess with fishing quite a bit.
  15. Tungsten is more dense and harder than lead. This will cut your size of weight roughly in half. The smaller size in most cases will help to alleviate a lot of hang ups as well as give your bait a more realistic presentation. Given it's properties it transmits sound and vibration better than lead and the added vibration transition will allow you to have a better feel of the bottom. Also, because it's harder, it won't deform like lead. Believe it or not, because lead is such a soft metal, a basses "teeth" or Velcro-like ridge can actually dig into lead when you set the hook reducing your hook setting power. Tungsten's hardness and decreased size will not allow this to happen and effectively the weight slides right through letting you transfer all the energy to the hook set. Above all else, even though using lead weights hasn't been proven to be detrimental to waters, but there's something that tells me that dumping a substance that is known to cause birth defects among other things into our waters can't be a good thing. Tungsten although more expensive is a more environmentally friendly material. There have been reports of people having issues with the insert free weights cutting line, but these are due to poorly made weights. If you're in the market, check out Eco Pro Tungsten. Not only will you have zero issues with them, they also make some very innovative products that you won't find anywhere else!
  16. Looks like a sweet new rod! I'm going to have to get my hands on one!
  17. Looks like interference from another unit.
  18. 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado. 4.7 V8 Hoping to get a truck soon.
  19. I really think you're worrying too much about this but here's the best plug out there. http://www.boatstore.com/ranger-trolling-motor-plug-and-receptacle-trolling-motor-plug-display-pack.html?utm_source=googlepepla&utm_medium=adwords&id=22209859648&gclid=CKjdzabZtb8CFQaJaQods44Aug http://www.boatstore.com/ranger-trolling-motor-plug-and-receptacle-trolling-motor-receptacle.html there's no wires on either side, you wire runs directly to the terminals.
  20. You should be able to use any topwater on it as long as it's within the weight rating on the rod.
  21. Go on GoPro's website and download their film editor. Windows will allow you to do a few other things with the footage, but use the GoPro software to decompress the footage. Even if you use that to save the uncompressed file for future editing, you'll have better results.
  22. From the pics it looks like you have two pumps. The switch on the right is the main pump and the one on the left is an auxiliary pump. It would be used to help fill the livewell quickly or to be used if your main pump goes down. The flow-rite dial needs to be put in the fill position when off plane and that will allow fresh water to be pulled into the livewell. Once full, switch it to the recirc mode to retain the water in the well and prevent it from draining out while on plane. You can occasionally put it back on fill throughout the day to bring in more fresh water into your livewell. If left on empty it won't hold water when on plane and it will usually get pretty low even when off plane.
  23. What Scott said, but I'd advise having a screen on your livewell drains at all times.
  24. JB weld it and it'll be good to go!
