Jeff, sunbrella fabric is your friend and will last a decade if you clean and retreat it annually. Also, if you have a custom one made, have them brindle the sides down 12 inches. This helps as the angle of the sun changes.

The 12 may be to good to be true, but I would have a mechanic check out the OB. A 2k boat could turn into a 12k boat over night

I find myself using the uni more and more these days. The improved version with an extra wrap around the wire and a few extra wraps up the line, works well

Perception is your reality, so if it works, great I have tried it and see more downside than upside given today's hook options. I do not like weights sliding on FC.......just another opportunity to ding the line

I have found snaps to improve a lot of my hard baits and prefer it over a loop knot......just remember to retie

Sorry, can't help with the syncing, but can say that my phone has updated and so far I have not noticed a difference between the mobile devise and my Lowrance system. It has only been a few lakes, but zero difference

Fully agree!, but guys like GY has folks thinking it is a wise idea and the reason that this question get asked so often

There is a school of thought that likes long leaders and prefer the knot on the real to avoid a perceived week spot. I might consider this if I was getting double digit fish

Usually 6 foot and replace at 2 ft

I have a 2500 with 10 lb 832 and usually 8 lb leader

I use 10 lb 832 with an 8 lb FC leader for small plastics all day long with no problems.NEVER had a problem with it digging in

This is the video that got me looking at Lunds!

On my home lake, I have come to realize that there are fishermen and boat owners that fish. Our tournament anglers are amongst the best behaved and accommodating to the locals. That said, old locals that happen to fish are the most frustrating.....but I don't think it is purposeful

I am hard to irritate when on the water, but trollers that think every it of the late is theirs, ticks me off a bit

Thanks, I have heard this but was told that with today's reels it wasn't as nessessary as it was in the past........and are we talking non usage for weeks or the Winter? Thanks

.....side note on the.380 I have witnessed a.380 that failed to penitrate a leather jacket and vest, but may be fine to but you a couple seconds to exit the scene Regardless of the pistol purchased, lack of regular practice will render it useless. The other thing to remember is how long it takes you to get the second shot back on target and through the barrel. Light calibers require a double tap and it may have you rethink the choice. That is why true pocket carries are best used for noise and pucker factor. The Shield and the like are just as concealable IWB and very comfortable Please rethink pocket carry..... Side note.....I can usually pick up when someone has one in the pocket., making them the first target! Unnatural touches and unconscious touch to confirm it's position is a clear giveaway, especially in stressful situations.......sorry for the hijack

Weighted 5/0 hooks work for me when going over 6 inches I do also like the Beast with twist tip

When I get a nudge on a hard bait, my next cast is a wacky to the same area. Very high percentage of hooksets

Howdy and welcome. Glad to have ya!

I have that reel on a loomis e6x M/Xf and reach for it all the time. The e6x can be had for around 169.00

832 sinks.......and I have 10 lb on my crankbait rods. I believe it sinks at the same rate as my 15 lb Tatsu.....one surface tentioner is broken, most braid with get down there and if there is a bow in the line, I see it as an absorber

Welcome to the board......and you know asking an acedodal question bring out the good, bad and ugly. The best reel I have tried is the MIT MGL and will leave it at that

This man speaks the truth...... Some of his have a special affection for the.45, specifically the 1911

Circle hooks help reduce gut hooked fish. I use eco pro Tungsten for non GY senkos. GY is perfect as is weightless

My buddy just ordered some KVD fastach in various sizes. Will report back how they do
