How do you identify which line is on your reels?
Certain things I remember great - old addresses I lived at for example. Other things I suck at remembering.

How do you identify which line is on your reels?
Not everyone has the same ability for memory recall, Tom. Various mental conditions require some of us to use helpers.

One trick pony, Kent?

Just wait a few years - then you'll want a record keeping system. (getting older sucks)

How to tie the GT knot/the best braid to mono solution
Nope, just a figure-8 knot tied...no worse than tying any knot.

How do you identify which line is on your reels?
Since my Excel file is synced to G-Drive - I have access to it with the phone (Android Open Office) as well...just quicker to glance at the label

I've got a P-Touch 1280 that we've had for years - I'm sure a less expensive model will do the job https://www.amazon.com/Brother-PT-1280-P-touch-Electronic-Labeling/dp/B000ALGKEO

Another one who uses Excel to track my rigs - including line. And like 5/0, I use a Brother Label maker to print off the line type/# test and put it on the reel foot.

How to tie the GT knot/the best braid to mono solution
Question being - how well does it go through guides...or come off the spool when you're using a long leader where the knot is buried in the reel a bit?

Record muskie from West Virginia
How is it lost? They put it back in the river, alive and healthy.

To use the onboard Trolling Motor Sonar or not.
Personally - I go split-screen on my Striker 7...2D and Down-Scan simultaneously.

Tracker Marine Lithium Battery
Food, mortgage...ya, unimportant things. Money I'm putting in the F-9 was from giftings from relatives...all insist I spend it on 'something fun'...that's the only 'spare' money I have. Wife is partially disabled - we can't afford a PCA on our fixed-income...my 4-5 hour/once a week trips are the only time I have outside of taking care of her. If I got a part-time job - would have to either give up my fishing time or pay a PCA to come in while I was at work to watch her...at a higher rate than I'd get at the job...so a loss.

Garmin Echomap with LakeVu and small lakes?
Except I have a Striker - not an Echomap. No card slot, Quick Draw is stored internally as the internal memory isn't taken up by pre-loaded maps. (best I could afford at the time)
-
Garmin Echomap with LakeVu and small lakes?
From what I understand - the Garmin can't address more than 32gb. My camera formats even the 128gb to FAT32, so it's usable. This is my camera card.
-
Garmin Echomap with LakeVu and small lakes?
My only 'gripe' is that they're still limited to 32gb...and it's a hard limit with them. My cheap ($50) camera says 32gb max...but I run a 128gb card in it no problem.
-
Garmin Echomap with LakeVu and small lakes?
Ya - if you're gonna create your own maps with Quick Draw, or download maps from the community via Active Captain - you need a blank card in the slot.

Fixed that for you.

So many baitcaster options...
One thing is that the IFGA tested YZH and it's actually stronger than the printed ratings. FryDog did a test some years ago - YZH had near the lowest stretch of any of the lines he tested. I treat everything except braid with KVD L&L.
-
Can fish finders locate bass in heavy hydrilla/weeds?
Nope - even the best get 'confused' if the bass (or any fish) is hugging any type of cover. Bass in thick weeds - hidden Walleye nestled up to a rock - hidden Crappie hugging the branches of a sunken tree - hidden.
-

12# YZH is the line I use on my crank-rig...Fuego CT. Rarely have backlashes, performs well enough that I got the 600yd spool so I don't run out.

The latest sale thread
DSG currently having a sale on YZH - buy one, get one free.
