If you only got the one battery to charge - the NOCO Genius 5x1 is on sale on Amazon for $70 https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GENIUS5-Fully-Automatic-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B07W8KJH44 I run the 5x2 for my 100ah trolling battery and the 35ah 'house' battery (runs everything else)

And it's not Lithium rated - from the info page "Battery Type 12v AGM, 12v Flooded Lead Acid" https://minnkota.johnsonoutdoors.com/us/shop/battery-chargers/portable-chargers

Just cause you're a Debbie Downer on them, doesn't mean others of us can't use and like them. Bluegill has been my best producer for both bass and northerns.

I use it...as backing on my casting reels.

Then why do you have that arsenal? I actually had one of those back in the day.

Now that's old school.

It should be clearly marked on the charger if it's lithium compatible - as well as a switch (pushbutton) to change modes. Like Lonnie - I've got a NOCO Genius so when I upgrade from AGM to Lithium I'm already set with a charger.

Trout - growing up in MA I fished a small stream near my house and caught lots of brookies and rainbows. Living in Bemidji, I'd sometimes trip down to Park Rapids to fish the Straight River for the same. There's no decent trout streams near enough to me for the time I have to fish on the days I can get out.

Only time I do is when a business does something completely contrary to my personal ethics.

Fixed that for you... and...what's a razor?

I do hold it with a rag dampened in KVD L&L by the reel....but from the rag it runs up to the guide THEN back down to the reel to be spooled up...so the path is Source -> rag -> guide -> reel Keeps it tight & well centered and I've never had to re-spool to correct an off-balance issue.

Ya - the more salt a plastic has, the faster it sinks.

The original Zoom Trick Worm is a floater - if yours aren't floating, there's something wrong. Strike King's Super Finesse Worm also floats, Most Elaztech baits float - Z-Man and Strike King are the major players of Elaztech.

tinboats.net is also a good resource - helped me when I was building Bass Trek.

I built my own - and have cut-down rods (old Ugly Stick spinning and an ancient Ambassadeur casting) that I mount the reels to when spooling. Tension can be adjusted by moving the clamp closer or further from the stand. Can handle any size source spool.

One time this past season, the 'rude 25 would not kick over...puttered around on the TM for a while, then checked...I'd connected the fuel line backwards, swapped ends and it ran just fine.

It's the trailer - tired of having to crawl partly under to secure the cover...so securing clips to the trailer itself so the webbing just drops straight down instead of having to go around the underside.

Which means I need to get on the ball and finish this year's mods to Bass Trek.

It would help to know what techniques you were going to use the reels for. Note: I use Yo-Zuri for shallow/mid-depth cranks, spinners, chatters, spooks, ploppers, and weighted soft swimbaits/flukes.

Ummm - season doesn't close until the 25th...you got 2 weeks.

"I hate you..." You know I had to say it....

If replacing with non-treated, before adding carpet - 2 coats of oil based Spar Urethane - then put the carpet on. If you want the best non-wood application - Original Ultimate Bunk Boards

Has to be Brian's evil twin then - if the jeans aren't holey, it ain't a 'true' Team9

If you're not casting under overhangs or other tight spaces - I'd recommend the 762 to get some distance....that's the UL rod I use for panfishing or hair jigs for bass.
