Spinning or Casting? I've got one of each in 6'6" that are being relegated to 'back up' status....

He did say he liked shorter rods - so the 6'8" MXF is more in line with that.

Wait for the Black Friday sales.... St Croix Victory 6'10" MLXF or the 6'8" MXF Throw a Shimano Stradic or Vanford on it and you're golden.

I don't care how big or small it it...if it's not a panfish, it gets netted.

Anyone looking to order from Digitaka...prices are starting to creep up. Tatula 100H I'd had in my cart went from $114 to $116 the past few days...so pulled the trigger before it got higher.

I pop in there every now and then...but mainly I pop into the BR channel on YT, sort by date and see if you and he have put up any new vids...that's where I get most of my Hank quota.

He could have one heck of a bathtub...

I've been using PayPal for half a decade...never an issue.

That's one of my shore rigs - Aird-X 6'6" M/F with a Trion-30.

Far as I've found - it's suppose to start Wednesday the 23rd at 6PM Pacific Time. We probably won't see the ad with prices until the weekend before. https://www.tacklewarehouse.com/BlackFridaySale.html

You can say that again. My personal dislike is that they dumped all but one model of Pflueger casting reels.

Since Quantum is owned by Rather Outdoors (Lews, Strike King) - why would Shimano even consider 'honoring' the warranty?

Ya - the Mark-1 in the garage was just that. The Mark-2 is the 16 slot with through holes on one board, brass hooks on the other. This will be moved to the ceiling in the 'fishing room' for over-flow. I've dedicated a 8.5' x 11' spot in the basement, walled it off - that's the fishing room. During the winter, my gear is stored in there, including all the boat gear that gets pulled out (PFDs, Sonar, batteries, etc)

The XR is suppose to be a suspending - did you swap out the hooks...comes with #6, if you went bigger that could cause it. https://luckycraft.com/luckycrafthome/Products/jerkbait/LightningPointer110XR.htm

You want detailed instructions?

MPG is almost impossible to figure out for a boat...it's always HPG (hours per gallon). So many variables can change how many miles you go...wind, current, wave action, is the motor height/angle set properly, how much weight is in the boat, is it planing?

Sounds like a warranty issue - I'd contact Quantum first...

Trade ya.... Thursday Night A 30 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 21. West northwest wind around 15 mph. Veterans Day Partly sunny, with a high near 28. West northwest wind around 15 mph. Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 17. Northwest wind around 10 mph. Saturday Mostly sunny, with a high near 30. West southwest wind 5 to 10 mph.

Oh this only one of several projects I have lined up...should have this done by the end of the month, then it's on to project #2

No, this will be a wall-mount...I'm keeping the other one for 'overflow' once I get there....back-up rods and maybe the crappie rigs....that'll be mounted to the ceiling.

Not exactly 140 reserve translates to 58ah RT/60*25 - https://battlebornbatteries.com/battery-reserve-capacity/ A MinnKota C2 30# will draw 30 amps at speed 5, 5 amps at speed 1 https://www.trollingmotors.net/blogs/selection/86961351-calculating-motor-run-time Now it's just simple math At top speed, you got just under 2 hours before the battery is completely drained...which is a No-No for Lead-Acid batteries (wet cell, gel-cell, AGM) - so call it an hour. If you go slow the whole time - you can effectively get 6 hours. Your actual time will be between those two based on what speed you go for how long.

With the rods I have, and the ones I'm going to order this shopping season...the 16 spot rack I made a couple years ago is gonna run out of room. So, decided to make a new one with more spots, and decided to do it right. This is phase-1 of the build...side uprights. Yes, there's two there clamped together for drilling/cutting so that they're identical. 24 slots in 6' - end of the year I'll have 19 rods...so some room for expansion of my arsenal.

One thing about some 80s groups - they made hits of covers. This one went to #6 for Hall and Oates, but was written by Mike Oldfield and originally sung by Maggie Reilly.

Or at least sharpen the ones you have.

Depends on how fine the mesh is...some say 'fine' but 5/16 or 3/8 mesh isn't 'fine' IMO. This is what I have, and it hasn't 'eaten' a treble hook yet. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001FTU7YY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 At 40" extended, it's almost half again the length of what you have and the 16"x18" hoop has been big enough so far, even for the occasional carp. Though they've got a 20"x22" available too
