Cold Weather Gear - Fishing
I’ve had several pairs. The ones I wear now are the warmest ones I have ever had. They are down bibs from Duluth Trading Co. I have been using them for at least 10 years now. I would buy another pair in a heart beat.

Trolling motor battery reccomemdations
What ever series size you buy get the highest reserve capacity that you can. That is what gives you time on the water.

Spinner bait making update...
So what is your question?

24v vs 36v
Good for you. You can’t have too much trolling motor power.

Shimano Symetre, Gone?
I’m not sure how many Symmetrys I have but it is around 10 sizes 1000, 2000, and 2500. They date back to around 20 years. I haven’t had the lock up problems that I have read about. I also have Sedonas, Saharas, and Stradics but Symmetrys are my go to. I’m glad I have several.

24v vs 36v
I think you should go for the 101# 36 volt and be set. If you need space agm batteries don’t have to be mounted in the traditional way. Good luck.

White Bass in really cold water
When it is that cold I will use a jigging spoon. I’ve caught them to 65’ in the winter.

A Rig questions.
You can go many ways. My least favorite is the 3 wire. I like putting willow leaf blades on the top 2 wires. One of the guys who fishes with me uses the two hookless baits. You just have to decide what you want and give it a try.

Coyote down
Is there a market for the pelts?

Strike King Ocho
I haven’t personally them but one of the guys who fishes with me has used them 3 times (slow learner). Each time the Zeros have put a serious butt whuppin on him until he put a Zero on himself.

Do people over complicate the ned rig?
It is called marketing. Get those fishermen to buy something different because it may be the latest greatest.

Rain/cold weather gear
Best one that I have ever had is the Bass Pro 100 mph suit.

Fuel line clog , primer bulb ? help
X2 Get a new line and bulb along with a new filter and see if that doesn’t work. After 6 months take that water separating fuel filter off and dump it. At the end of a year replace it. Use 91 octane ethanol free gasoline.

Bearings for dummies
I just put them in acetone and let them soak. I use a kabob stick to swirl them around in the acetone after they have soaked. Then I take them out blow on them, wipe them off and let them air dry. I use a needle type oiler and put about 1/2 drop of oil on each one before putting them back in the reel.

Triton Deep Cycle Battery Connections
Yeah your pics don’t show enough. For you to have only 12 volts is has to be wired parallel. What jb says will get you 36 volts. Be sure to use large gauge wire for the jumpers.

What’s your most successful lure?
It depends on the time of the year, the lake, the water level, the water temp, and the weather. I prefer spinner bait, Zero, and Ned but I will use nearly anything.

Any assistance required: fishing north texas
You probably are looking at highland reservoirs like we have here in MO. If so worms, jigs, brush hogs, tubes, crank and spinner baits etc are what I use. Points, rocky windy banks, and bluff ends are where I would start. Don’t be afraid to go as deep as necessary to get bites.

Pre poured spinner bait heads...
I don’t have any “brands”. The ones that I don’t pour myself I get from other guys who have different molds.
