Jig Man

That depends on the charger. I always call the manufacturer and ask before leaving one on for extended periods. I have been told both ways.

I make my own and color code them by weight. 1/16..brown 3/32..green 1/8....red and so on I know one guy who says chartreuse is the color head for small mouth and walleye.

Depends on what batteries you have and what charger.

You might want to shorten his learning curve by getting a digitally controlled reel like the Shimano Curado dc. He wouldn’t be having backlashes.

I make my own. I have used Colorado silver red orange and chartreuse as well as willoe. They all work.

I use a Curado X70 with 6# fluorocarbon on a Gloomis medium light rod. A trd with a 3/16 oz head is as light as I go.

Shimano used to have too much grease and some needed to be removed but I haven’t noticed it lately.

LSU that is!

I traded for a 7.4. I spooled it up and did some yard casting. Like stated it isn’t a lot longer cast but I set it on the lightest setting and threw a 1/2 oz casting plug. No thumbing and the spool stopped with no backlash or even loose line on the spool. I am impressed!

I called BP they have some higher gear ratios. When the ice melts off the roads I think I’ll make a trade.

How’s it with spinner baits and wind?

How would it work for Arigs?

I just got one for my birthday. It is my first dc. I don’t quite know what application would be best. I use a Chronarch 150 for spinner baits, X70s for finesse, Curado 200 E for medium and heavy applications. I am not sure where this fits. You guys who own them, how do you use them?

Compression of each cylinder and lower unit fluid to make sure no water has gotten in. You probably won’t be able to get any Procraft parts if you need them. Johnny Morris bought them and shut them down. He owns Triton and still makes them.

I am on the other side here. I like to use my bow unit to see where my bait is and the fish I am trying to get to bite it. So I run the largest at the bow. You mentioned having a 7. If you could mount it up front and use it for mapping along with another unit you could avoid split screens.

Cut them up, stuff with news paper and use them in the fireplace.

I’ve helped get a bunch of 2 wheel drive rigs up wet ramps even in warm weather.

You dont need one that locks. Just get the 3/4” without threads.

Either campground or portable generator are all I can come up with.

Overtons might have some.

10 ga. wire should be enough for that trolling motor. I’d use it with a breaker and see if it gets the job done.

There are lots of dual purpose batteries that won’t do the job the X2 will.

What size motor are you talking about.

With modern electronics, do your self a favor and get the X2. It is the only thing I have found that will do the job.

I had power poles on my boat. I didn’t use them often. When I got a trolling motor with spot lock I quit using them. I tool them off and sold them. When I shipped them to a buyer the weight was 84#. Can your boat take that much weight in tne stern?
