For size comparison left to right. 3/4 ounce steel, 1 ounce lead, and then a 1 ounce tungsten flipping weight. They all work fine just different sizes

I will say there is some pretty amazing people on this forum.total strangers that want to help and extend there knowledge to us. It's truly amazing there is still great people out there! Thank you to you all

Very subjective question. We all have our own opinions. Go to a,local shop and actually hold and feel the rods you like. That's the best way

Added a zig zag cleat today for anchoring. Only put one on the back by my seat for now.
-
Thanks a lot guys more pics to come soon!

I recently got some 1 ounce tungsten. Since I'm getting a lil more serious about punching. Bit I've een messing with lead no issue what so ever. It works fine. I've also used the steel weights. The only difference is size

If you like nice things and are in a position to get them and not owe debt. Why not! Just be responsible. Were all at different points in life. I personally am a young guy with a family. I buy mid grade equipment so I can maximize my technique specific. If I spent top dollar I couldn't have the several combos I have. But hey it's different strokes fr different folks. Enjoy what you bought and find a new tackle shop. I won spend money where people talk down to me out of ignorance and jealousy.

I'm sorry man I live in Florida. I'm a long ways off from Ya. Isk what the waters like there. If the water is very clear visibility some say a leader can't hurt

Very interested in this thread as I have a ton of hydrilla and cover on all the banks near me. Sorry I don't have much input other than give it a try
-
That's entirely up you. Some say yes a lot of people just tie straight braid
-
Look and find out for sure and let us know. There should be a manufacturer and model on the blank. Also look at the guides do they have like a ceramic Insert in them? If it s st. Croix im sure it's fine
-
It doesn't hurt a thing. As long as the guides on your pole are inserted for braid. What kind of pole do you have?
-
It really ca be simplified so much. I got crazy about it at first till I realized.......if the fish are feeding.....they are feeding. I have run I to really Clearwater occasions where I could watch 1 pound bass come out and look at a color worm and then change to a known good color in that lake and they'd kill it! But for the most part black/blue laminate, green pumpkin, watermelon red will get Ya really far!

Run what ya brung! Screw keeping up with the steriotypes! Who cares what it looks like it's how ya fish

Thanks a lot everyone! More to come im working on a trolling motor mount now. Due to the design of the flotation caps a lot of them won't work. But Meyers boats owns michiccraft now. So I have an email in to them. I believe there pre made mount for the sportspal will work on this boat! Gotta add a cleat to the flotation cap for anchoring, and a get a battery box. Other than that it's pretty much ready to roll.
-
I'm doin the same with a free canoe! Me and my 6 year old boy are having a blast! Good for you guys man. Wear your flotation and have fun! Looks awesome
-
Thanks so much!
-
Awesome thanks so much everyone for the explanations deffinatly cleared it up
-
So Ya think bass fishing ya think lay downs, low hanging trees, weed lines and the like under water trees lily pad fields! Something im unclear on is fishing deep? I see a lot of people talk about fishing bass in deep holes in lakes! Anyone have ny insight on this?
-
And the 5 gallon bucket in the pic will be replaced by the battery for the trolling motor. I just fill it for water and place it in the bow for ballast
-
I actually have a mushroom anchor not sure if it van be seen in the loaded pic or not at the dock. I need to get a cleat tho. That's an excellent idea for position thanks so much!
-
It's on the list!
-
Thanks I'm trying lol! It's coming along
-
A few more progress pics it wouldn't let me add to original post
