Does anyone know how to replace/remove screws for the breakaway knobs on a Motoguide x5? I think i might have to release the tension from the 2 springs.. any ideas?

Hi everyone - I have a Triton TR18 that has less than desirable curtosy lights. I am looking for ideas on what everyone uses for early morning/late night lighting, so i can stop using my phone light. Pictures would be great too. Thanks!

I will say I've been getting hits left and right with a 4" drop shot on a 1/0 hook, but I'm having to guess the majority of these are panfish. The majority of the ones that have weight come off halfway to the boat..

Mostly largemouth. There used to be good weeds 2 years ago, then it flooded and the weeds haven't came back like before, what little weeds there are look brown. Visibility has to be close to 10'. I've been going early morning to mid day. As of late there has been no wind and the water looks like a sheet of glass. What type of search bait do you use?

Good Evening - Just got back from the lake and got some dinks, but skunked otherwise. I am up in the NE, there has been minimal rain (creating NO current or draw from the reservoirs), half the month of July lived in the 90's, when the average is 5 days for July. There are plenty more people fishing due to the pandemic. The lakes are clear as day. I am looking for some help or suggestions on what I should try to throw under these conditions to start putting fish in the boat. I try to get out every weekend, and this year has been the toughest with most weekends having 1 or 2 legal bass in 5-8 hours. Any and all help is appreciated!

Found one hose under the carb broke off, fixed and took to the lake. The boat came right up to plane ran around well, HOWEVER it now planes, bogs down, planes, repeats this cycle. Almost as if it is taking too long to fill the Carb Bowls with fuel. We also noticed gas very slowly leaking when squeezing the primer bulb from the carburator gasket. Could this fix the entire issue?

Changed fuel pump, and spark plugs.. same problem

We have an 89 evinrude 90hp that works flawlessly 25% of the time, the rest of the time the boat will only gain enough power to plane by squeezing the (already rock solid) primer bulb, usually 3 pumps and its on plane and slows back down.. weve replaced the fuel line from motor to tank, as well as the fuel pump. Problem is still there. Does anyone have suggestions? Thanks

I've came across 2 exprides a 7 2 mh and 7 6 mh. Anyone have a suggestion on which to get as I am set on this model.

Initially I was leaning towards Orchi XX EMTF and was thinking that was going to be one of the first to be suggested. Does anyone know anything about these?

looking for opinions on best casting rods under 300 for jigs (1/2 oz) and Texas rigs. Preferably something in stock now.

Hey everyone. I have a stern light bulb out and plans to fish tomorrow night so I am on a limited time scale and can't find an alternative (not sure what the alternative is) for my stern light. It says 12v 5w A16.. does anyone know if there's an alternative bulb for this?

when drop shooting, do you generally cast out and reel back in, or know whats under your boat

Hey everyone - I'm trying to learn how to be successful at using a drop shot and am looking for some help. I have my Medium Light setup with a 1/4 ounce cylinder weight, 2/0 hook, and have plenty of small drop shot baits. My question is, I do not have the best graphs, and am wondering how to be successful without upgrading the graphs. Do I just toss is out and slowly reel/drag it back? Should I be using it predominantly on weed lines or ledges? Any helps appreciated !!

Has anyone ever fished this lake? I have only fished it a couple of times, and as of late have been having a very tough time finding a bite. I'm thinking this is because of the high pressure now everyone has free time on their hands and are fishing more. Looking for tips on where to target.

Hi everyone - I'm in the market for a new trolling motor and want to get one with the spot lock feature. Which of these do you like better, and why?

Do you use a mono backing?

Hi all, I just recieved my new Stradic ci4+ 2500 and Expride 7' M. I'm going to be using this for some of the heavier Neds and more finesey applications. I'm looking for suggestions on whether I should use braid to fluro, or straight fluro. I am also looking at suggestions on brands of braid and what lb to lb I should run. (Ive NEVER used braid before). Thanks!

Are you limiting yourself to drop shots and Neds? Or are you able to throw other things as well? Also - I'm curious as to what line your running.

I've done a lot of research and taking opinions and for the extra money the Exprides seem to be the answer. Which Rod, in anyones opinion, would match a 2500 stradic ci4+ the best and serve the purpose. I've been looking at 6'8 M, 6'10 ML and 7' M . Thanks for all your guys helps and sorry for all the questions, but when throwing that much into a setup I want to ensure its awesome!

Yeah pretty much everything I've read says to go with the Zodias or Avid, so that's what I'll probably do. Now I just need to figure out whether to go with a M or ML.

What rods do you have the 2500's on? Which balances the best

For both of you - why a medium over a ML?

Hi all - I'm looking to pickup my first ever Stradic Ci4+ to be used for ned rigs and drop shots. Does anyone have suggestions on which model to get and a rod to pair it with? Thanks

This is all great information, I think I'm settled on a Shimano Ci4+ does anyone have recommendations on a rod to pair with this? Probably 200 or less
