I had a 2002 17' Tracker and the max rating was 75hp. Putting on something bigger is not recommended as it voids insurance, etc. I ran a 75 Merc EFI and could hit 45mph which is decent. Having ridden in other Trackers I would not go below 50hp. Allen

Strike King S11 are very nice for the money. Bought 3 pairs somewhere on the interwebs for $49. Allen

Not sure where in Maryland you live but if you want some place to throw big lures try Piney Run Reservoir. There are a ton of 5+ bass in there along with stripers. Allen

Powder coating them afterwards fixed the problem for me. This is the most PITA mold to pour as the little wire keepers constantly pop out. Allen

LC 1.5 in Copper Perch. Allen

Pointer SR. Allen

Can't comment on the look but Barlow's Tackle has always been great to deal with. Allen

Starting to experiment with more painted blades. Double white and double chartreuse are the standard but I am working on some more natural colors. Allen

I make my own but this is a new favorite color. Allen

That is the sharpest jig hook I have ever used period. Now if they would only make a 30 degree straight eye for swim jigs. Allen

Your insurance company needs to go after this guy for the cost of repairs.

I use the Bill Dance one and have only lost one or two baits in the last several years. Make sure to get the one that has the reel type instead of just the rope. Allen

The pic on the left looks like it is missing a ballast weight. Allen

Using pink would be a suspension of the man card that is why the color is called bubblegum. Allen

I think I have some in watermelon if you are interested. Allen

Learned this from the Ike finesse fishing video. Allen

The Gamakatsu 30 degree hooks fit in the Sparkie mold and can be bent without breaking. Allen

Do It swim jig mold but you have to modify it to accept other hooks. Allen

I use the lightest weight I can get away with for aDS. Normally I use 1/8 to 1/4oz anything heavier and other lures work better. Allen

I know what the next mold I am buying is. Allen

If that is what you are paying for those jigheads then I have a new retirement plan. Allen

I have some of 4 inch ones I could trade. Allen

I use my regular vise with the rubber guards and 22 guage craft wire. Allen

Additionally you cannot use the name "Chatterbait " as it is protected as well. Allen
