Avid X Near Miss
The only rod I liked was their speed stick and they only come with the HD EVA grips. I have nothing negative to say about the reels.

You forgot the picture to go with that.

Abu Garcia Veritas 2.0 Or Duckett Ghost
I own a Veritas 2.0 and pick up a ghost in dick's today. Wasn't impressed with the ghost.

Autochart Or Navionics Chip
Nope. A full sized sd card. And don't say it's fake, it was bought sealed from BPS.

Micro Guides?
I've never had that issue fishing in below freezing weather. Every cast clears the eyes of water.

Oh dear....the day I buy this will be the day I quit fishing. I have my reasons.

Tidecraft With A 115 Help With Setup?
With help from a very close machinist, who happens to be a former employee of a company (If it ain't black, take it back), we basically turned it into a race engine. Then again, it was on a lighter boat than yours.

Really? How much we talking (ballpark)?

All Around Combo?
I have one specifically for it. Minus the reel. It has a Lew's BB1HLZ. Works for what I throw on it.

Crankbait Question
Isn't that the stiffer of the two? CX vs CXX

Why Are Boat Motors So Expensive?
Hey now, my Honda mower is turning heads in the neighborhood...

Help!
How much did the cracked filter change the way the engine ran? I'm sure the fuel mixture was a little lean.

I wish cork handles didn't come on high money rods. I have yet to find an affordable cork split handle rod outside if Lew's and theirs don't look too promising.

Only thing the government is doing so far is phasing out my 2 stroke.

Couldn't Get Them To Bite
We had that happen last year at Hiawassee. Ended up throwing some weightless grubs and they hit them. Had to cast way past them to keep from spooking. Not the usual day on the river...

Tidecraft With A 115 Help With Setup?
Mercs do. Ended up having the engine specs changed to their race pistons...my my the difference they made. We ran about 50 before, got it up to 65 after all the work on it.

All Around Combo?
I hate admitting this, but I do fish for bluegill on my baitcasters. Me and the old man go by numbers, not weight. And they count, right? If it has eyes...

Rod Glove
And on that note, buy premade. Did the numbers and mine came out to roughly $10 a pop. They'll never scratch a rod, but it's not like my rods are over $100.

Autochart Or Navionics Chip
Just bought one for our lakes this year. Full size sd card. Got upset when I went back to BPS for a rod and they had it on sale.
-
Help!
We had the same issue on our Johnson 200 Venom. Turned out to be the fuel pump. Went ahead and replaced the self oiling system too. Turned out it was about ready to go as well

Why Are Boat Motors So Expensive?
My roommate bought his Mercury 350CSi-CXXL for just shy of 22 grand. I spent that much building my S10. Just too much for my blood. But as long as there is noney, people will want to buy the most unique, newest, most wanted item.
-
All Around Combo?
That is a great combo. Good product with a good cause. My brother has one and it's a good feel.

Crankbait Question
Yo-zuri hybrid in whatever test you usually use. I'm strict on my cranks and stay at 10lb. How many guys will say braid w/ or wo/ braid?
-
Tidecraft With A 115 Help With Setup?
It may be. Have any idea how many hours is on it or how hard she's been run? My brother's did the same thing until I rebuilt it.
