Addendum to above - Scheels still has some 1000 and 2000 Avocet RTZs available on clearance for $29.99 - that's 1/3 off regular price.

Indeed it is - as well as the 05 and 09 https://www.rapala.com/rapala/lures-by-type/crankbaits/shallow-shad-rap/Shallow+Shad+Rap.html?cgid=rapala-luresByType-crankbaits&taglist=Rapala|Lures By Type|Crankbaits#id=1&start=1&cgid=rapala-luresByType-crankbaits No Mike, you can't have my SSR-07 Silver - I use it...

Most of my rigs it's either clear or green. For finesse rigs, however, I go with a bright color mainline for visual reference, with a clear or green leader.

Except most boat capacities do NOT include things like - motor, tank, battery. So you have to subtract all that from the capacity - then your 'passenger weight' is what's left over.

The wider the better for jon boats - some places still have 2019 models of the Tracker Topper 1542 for about the same price as the Alumacraft 1540 - might pay to search around a bit.

Here's an article on the basics. https://newwiremarine.com/how-to/wiring-a-boat/ Another one about some tips and tricks. https://www.louisianasportsman.com/fishing/avoid-pitfalls-when-rewiring-your-boat/ A Google search on 'rewiring a boat' will bring up more.

Over the last couple months I've picked up some Mitchell Avocet RZTs ranging from 1000 to 3000. They have some features found on more expensive reels...like a bearing in the line roller instead of a bushing. They're out of production now, but you can find them at various places.

4" here and people just grumble. Halloween Blizzard of 1991 - I still drove the 20miles each way to and from work all three days of the event...in a RWD sedan.

Ya, Kent - keep that stuff out of our backyard. Clear and mid-upper 30s next week here.

Fury 705CB with a Fuego CT-H (6.3:1); 12# Yo-Zuri Hybrid - this is my main crank rig for any 5/16oz and up Okuma Stratus VI MH/M with a Mitchell Avocet RZT-2000 (25.0 IPT); 10# Sufix Advance - any cranks under 5/16 oz.

X3 - Anything under a 3-power in Dobyn's BC and I go spinning. For the BFS guys, this is great - just not for everyone. P.S. Gary - could you please come out with a 4 power spinning rod in the Fury line? Please? Maybe a 5 power too?

Any model of the Plano Waterproof Stowaways - they seal so you'll 'trap air' in them - so they float.

True that, John...I answered above, so I'll bow out now.

I could go on, but I'll refrain. $30 and up rods that people use for bassing come in MH. I will admit - for a Heavy - need to go to Inshore.

Diawa Tatula XT, Dobyns Sierra & Champion XP, St Croix Avid - not 'popular' bass rods...got it.

Posted this in the other thread too - reason I won't go to the GT knot.

I looked at the GT - then found this little tidbit and went away from it.

It's a little harder to find one - but not terribly difficult. I wanted a MH spinning rig, and found a number of MH and even some H spinners. My issue was finding one in my budget, but I did get one...just waiting on the reel for it.

Or the autographed BOC baseball cap I got back in '82 during the 'Fire' tour. Far as the Gary Y cap - wear it proudly...caps are meant to be worn with very few exceptions.

It's a pain waiting - placed an order for a Fury 703SF when Legacy had their 25% off sale before BF. Still waiting for them to get the rod in stock and ship it to me.

True - they will see T-Rigs - but I like having plastics that can fulfill more than one role. "The Trick Worm was the original floating worm," "Often copied, but never matched, the original Finesse Worm is a smaller version of the popular Zoom Trick Worm" Right from https://zoombait.com/

Ya - don't assume that the reel comes 'perfectly' lubed. I've gotten new-in-box Pfluegers that were packed with grease and needed to be cleaned out. Others have reported that their new-in-box reels came dry - no grease or oil at all.

As they're also floaters - shakey head or Gamy Finesse Jig

Revell and Monogram merged. AMT was bought by Round-2 - which has put out a number of new-mold models. Fine Molds out of Japan is the third 'major player'.

Other than one rod and one reel that have already been paid for - this is the last of this winter's purchases. Couple more colors of Trick Worms, a selection of Finesse Worms and some swimbait hooks
