Thanks for all the replies! I'm thinking I'll try this rod for 1/4 oz topwaters, like Pop-R's, when the ice melts. I have a Shimano Chronarch 50e. What line would you recommend?

A few years back I bought a Shimano Clarus casting rod on sale and I've never been sure what would technique it would be good for. Model: CSC68MB Length: 6' 8" Lures: 1/8 - 1/4 Line: 6- 12 Power: Medium Action: Fast It's labeled Jig and Worm but it's pretty soft and the lure range is really light. Looking for suggestions on what technique this rod would be good for? Thanks!

Wow! Nice fish! I love that you are wearing a Lakers hat while catching Lake Trout.

Moneyball and Repo Man.

It works pretty well but takes a long time to screw down.

Yes and I wear a pfd at all times. Please go ahead and take swimming lessons and wear your pfd. I have a family friend who did not wear a pfd and couldn't swim. He fell out of a canoe last summer on a small pond and drowned in 8 feet of water. He got trapped in milfoil. The divers had a tough time finding his body. Such a shame. He was only 65 and had just retired and loved fishing everyday.

That looks nice. Where did you buy that and how much?

Here are the specs for that rod from the Ugly Stick website: MODEL # USSP662M QTY: $39.95 VIEW LARGER TECHNIQUE Spinning ROD LENGTH 6'6" ROD POWER Medium NUMBER OF PIECES 2 LURE RATING 1/8-5/8 More Specifications LINE RATING 6-15 ROD HANDLE MATERIAL EVA ROD BLANK MATERIAL Ugly Tech Construction GUIDES INCLUDING TIP 6 ROD HANDLE TYPE D

Kayak most of the time and occasionally from the shore.

Merry Christmas! Waltham. Where are you?

I fish from a kayak so mostly 6' to 6'6" for me, spinning and casting. I had an old 5'6" pistol grip rod in my youth and miss that. Wish they still made those.

I like the Strike King KVD Caffeine Shad with an EWG.

I carry an empty Plano box to put wet lures in. When I get home, I open the box and let them dry.

GrumpyOlPhartte is right about bloatware. All cheaper consumer laptops are full of useless software and programs that track your activities so they can sell data, etc. This is part of what makes them cheaper. The PC companies are basically selling ad space on your computer to the bloatware companies. The Microsoft Store sells laptops that just have a clean windows install. They are labeled "Signature Edition PC." Here's one in your price range: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/d/acer-spin-5-sp513-51-56yw-signature-edition-2-in-1-pc/8mddxzwzh2f6/79wp Most universities also have student discounts, so you might want to look there too.

Bingo! Was look for a 12" but this should work. Thank you very much! Thanks! I emailed etrailer my original picture and they said they only sell the panel bracket types, which they told me are stronger than the u-shaped. They were quick to respond. Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for the advice Scott! I'll give it a try. Thanks Catt and fishnkamp for the eye rolls and condescension. I'm really not sure why you guys bothered to post? If I knew what the name of the part was, I wouldn't have asked. I have tried to find the part on many marine websites. I have no experience with trailers. Did you feel better by stating that you could google the name of the part that I don't know? Good for you. I hope that made you feel better about yourself. Most people are really nice here and are happy to help. Thanks for the link! Unfortunately it says part not found. The search continues.

Anyone know where I can find a bracket like this to fit a 12" keel roller? I can't seem to find one online other than a site in England. Thanks!

Another vote for the Shock.

Nice! I been wanting that one too. Did you get a deal?

1/8 ounce shaky head jig of your choice with 6 to 8 lb flouro. Have Fun!

Great idea! What knot do you use for that hook? Do you use a snell since it has a up-turned eye?

Bought 2 Berkley Lighting Shock Rods. Casting rod for $20 and a spinning rod for $15.

Another vote for Norman Speed Clips. I take the split ring off.
