I didn't have much luck with them until this spring. That was when I experimented with trailers. I'd try a regular fluke and craw style trailers if you aren't getting bit on a boot tail. Try matching and contrasting color trailers with the skirt color. Do you get bit throwing the keitech on a plane jighead or swimjig?

President xt or supreme in size 30. Worth spending a little more than the regular president for the weight savings

The patent on Gore Tex expired and there are many other breathable and waterproof brands/fabrics now

Was it on the packing slip? Could be coming from another warehouse

Yep it was in spam. Package arrived today?

Did you guys get shipping confirmation? Been 3 days and I haven't received anything. Wonder if they caught on to us

SCII is plenty sensitive. True Ned rigging isn't a bottom contact presentation. Most of my fish come on a no feel retrieve or dead sticking and watching my hi vis line for movement. You'll keep fish pinned better on the medium light than the medium

Codes are still working. I got two free lures as well

x2 great rod for long casts with ned or 1/8oz jigs with grub/small swimbait. small spinners too

Possibly selling my tarpon 120. NW burbs

The only reason they make the 1675 is to fit in a 20ft deep garage. The beam is the same as the 1775. I have about 6" to spare in my garage with my 1650 rebel XL

I'm a fan of the Eyecon series. I'm using the 7mlf for ned rig, grubs, drop shot, small mepps and even slip bobbers for crappie. I believe they are finally upgrading them to SCIII next year, so look for the current models to go on clearance soon. Also if you compare a 6'6" and 6'8" rod side by side and line up the reel seats, they are almost identical. Half the extra length is usually in the handle

I'm towing a similar sized boat with a 2018 Chevy traverse 6cyl AWD with towing package. I don't even feel the boat behind me. Brakes are ok but I'd want trailer brakes for anything heavier

Northland jawbreaker is a good spoon that comes with a skirt

my traditional ned rig (1/15oz jig) rod is a 7' MLF St Croix Eyecon. 30 size Pflueger reel, I like the supreme or president XT. the regular president is too heavy and slower gear ratio than the xt and supreme. 10lb sufix 832 hi vis and a 6lb mono or copoly leader.

Unless you don't know how to use a bait caster, the medium is the best option. My St Croix Premier 66mf are great all around rods

I had a 2010 Alumacraft Lunker 165 SC. Same hull as the Escape but slightly different layout inside (livewell was on the port side). It had a 25hp Yamaha 4 stroke. Topped out at about 18mph and wouldn't get on plane. A 4 blade prop might have helped get it on plane better. The escape has a better layout and probably better weight distribution. If you can live with that it's a good boat. I traded mine in for a bigger Lund. You should also consider the Lund Fury, it's narrower so should be faster with a 20hp. I'd also go with a tiller in this size beam boat, it'll seem like a much bigger boat than with a console

How long before zman comes out with the ned spin?

Confirmed that it doesn't work on the mobile site. You can run the desktop site on a phone in chrome browser

I recommend TJ from live action fishing charters out of Robbies in islamorada. He does off shore and back country

This thread is 12 years old

Doug Strange from in fisherman advocates for using braid mainline to a long fluoro leader and a short section of tieable leader connected to the lure. A local guide recommends a 20lb fluoro leader to eliminate most break offs by pike If I'm fishing a moving bait in high density pike and musky water I'll usually use a premade pike or musky leader with snap and swivel. Straight wire or 100+lb fluorocarbon

Jig and plastic for smallies and walters #5 mepps for esox

Don't you need line for that new reel? Sufix line as well as VMC hook, Terminator and storm are on the rapala site

That's pretty much the same thing as the handirack except it is foam instead of inflatable. I'd still get the hood and trunk loops so you can do a bow and stern tiedown
