Joining the 'real' boat crowd
Or put it in the rear of the extended cab - took the rear seat out to turn that part into cargo space.

Dobyns Fury Spinning Rod Question
Both my President-25 (1000 size) and my President XT-30 (2500 size) fit without a problem on my Furys...Pres-25 on a Fury 702SF, Pres XT-30 on a Fury 703SF.

Spinning vs Casting for Jerkbaits/Trebled Topwaters
Mostly it's personal preference. Until I sold it with the canoe, I had a spinning crankbait rig that I used almost as much as my casting one. MH/MF rod with a 3000 size reel. Worked just fine I'm a left-caster/right-reeler no matter what rig I'm using - while I'm a righty for most things, my left arm is a bit stronger and with a missing right eye, I have better cast control to put the lure where I want it.

Sufix or Pline???
Haven't tried P-Line - but I've been very happy with the 832...only line I've tried that's better is Smackdown.

1st Pickerel
I've had it...it's fairly tasty in the middlin sizes (3-5lbs) - but filleting them is problematic as you have to remove the 'Y' bones that run down the center of the meatiest part of the fillet. So I just toss them back - never really got the hang of getting rid of the 'Y' bones.

Options for one-hand casting reel?
Gets worse when you realize that I bought that new back in the 70s.

Options for one-hand casting reel?
Find some old Abu Cardinals - I've got an old 562 with the trigger cast (same as Shimano quickfire) that's still in excellent working condition.

Favorite spinnerbait weight and color
My best luck with spinners is a 3/8oz, nickle double willow blade, chartreuse/white.

Free Structure Pipe- Check where they are laying hi-speed Internet
Some states allow it - check with the DWR for restrictions/regulations.

Free Structure Pipe- Check where they are laying hi-speed Internet
It'd be great - if it was legal to do this in MN. We're prohibited from sinking anything into a body of water to create structure.

Pflueger
I've got 1 each of Trion, President and President XT left - my other Trion and President were sold. I think it's the fact that the Trion and President are 2019 or earlier models...both have been very good reels...quiet, reliable. I've also heard about the newer models having some failings...but the 2020 Pres XT-LE I have is still 'up to snuff'. The removal of the AR switch in the new Trions removes it from my consideration now...while I'm not a back-reeler, I want that switch. Biggest problem I have with Pflueger now is that the only BC reel they're offering is the Pres-XT - every other model has been removed from their site. E-Mails, messages on their FB page, what-ever asking if the other models will return have been ignored.

60 amp T/M breaker
As close to the battery as is possible is much preferred. Like in home circuits - are the breakers near the appliances/outlets or are they at the source (where it enters the home).
