Awesome to hear you got some nice size fish!Thanks for the report!

I got my buddy coming by Sunday he's been working on boats a long time said he thinks it's the tube he's gonna help me replace that and the drain mount see if that straightens out the leak .Thank you very much for all the responses,I keep u posted

Any bass fishing guitarist?I been playing since a kid.

My question to you guys is if you have the money for a brand new aluminum boat with warranty etc etc or get a used glass boat what would you do?

Do you recommend certain brand and model?

For the holes?Or the housing to the hull?

When I drill that in the hull should i put some 5200 where I drill the holes to secure the screws better or is it not necessary?

I used it today on my senko reel caught 6 had no issues with it at all,noticed immediately that senko had a better fall action with the FC vs mono ,cast smoothly,very sensitive,a little stretchy but no issues at all.I'll continue to use it on my senko reel until I have any issues.

I figured I would try it ,I was watching Glenn video on senkos and he said they sink better with fluorocarbon so thats why I'm giving it a try,normally on my senko i use 12# big game

I'm using exclusively for my senko rod rest of my rods are braid,my buddy told me to retie every few fish using fluorocarbon.

Lol great we will see tomorrow ?

Any suggestions on how to remove drain tube to put in a new one?Thanks!

Finally bought a spool of Fluorocarbon to try on my senko rod. I've heard so many positive and negative things about it I figured give it a try and be my own judge.Bought Berkley vanish 14# gonna be fishing a fairly weeded area not mats and stained water ,seems very sensitive and will cast a mile.

Going to bass pro shops now is like going to a crowded shopping mall,I use to love going to bass pro shops before, now I only go if I absolutely need something and it will be out of stock. Thank God for Tackle warehouse. When you walk by them just growl loudy that works for me

It's one inch plug its the right size plug for that hole,gonna put the plug in and fill some water in boat and see where leak is coming from,my buddy thinks the tube needs to be swapped out,but I don't think it's gonna be easy getting that tube out on such an.old boat,any suggestions to removing the old tube?

Its not tight but not really loose either,I got a buddy coming by Saturday to take a look I'll post his findings thanks again for all great advice hopefully we can figure it out sat I really believe that that plastic piece I posted a pic of was what was keeping that area securely tight we are gonna try it than take it from there

Thanks so much for all the responses!When I get home from work I'm gonna double check the drain plug how loose or tight it fits.Might be just the drain plug.But I do remember some type of plastic oring came apart when I took the drain plug out that why when I saw that pic from west Marine with that plastic tube looked like the old piece,that's why I thought that's what I needed to buy to put in hole to get a better seal.

Wow!Thank you sooooooo much for all that great info!!!Should I use brass sleeve or plastic sleeve?

Smooth

Metal

Shes old, company isn't in business anymore, it's a 1978 Fiberking Bomber

Or would I be better putting this in?

Thanks for info! Do you think this would work?

I think it's missing that plastic drain tube piece

I think this is what's missing that's y I'm taking on some water.Not getting a tight seal without this.I remember just recently I was taking my boat out the water took my drain plug out and saw pieces of this falling apart once I took the drain plug out. This is what it looks like now
