Jig Man

If you are in an area where they have boat shows, take one in. Lots of dealers are willing to give some very good deals at boat shows on new and used products.

I only use Shimano. I carry 18 bc and spinning setups in the boat.

Bass Pro spends more on ads than Lowe generates. Tracker also put lots of boats on the market with under powered motors and trolling motors. The aim is for the first time buyer. Lowe started out as a family owned company just NW of where I live. They sold and became part of OMC. They later became a part of a major conglomerate where the took a back seat to Lund and some others in the Genmar line. Now they are a part of the Brunswick line of products. Lowe hasn't been a lead product since the Lowe family sold the business.

I use 1/8 and 1/4 more than any other sizes.

So Allen are you single or married to a blind lady??

I have 3 of them. 1. 6# fluorocarbon 6'9" ML rod for Ned Rigs 2. 12# fluorocarbon 6'6" MH rod for jerk baits and light jigs 3. 12# fluorocarbon 7'6" MH rod for cranks and shaky I probably use them more than my other Shimano reels.

The best bait I have used day in and day out on rip rap is a tube with a 1/8 oz jig insert. I loose way less of them and catch as many fish as I do with a jig.

Our Department of Conservation says our spots are the Kentucky strain.

The worst $600 I have ever spent was on an Aqua View camera. It was next to worthless. Any sunshine at all made the glare so bad you couldn't see anything. I wound up giving it to my son in law to play with in his boat dock.

Tom we have Kentucky spotted bass here in MO. Our lakes that have threadfin shad for forage have good sizes of KYs. It is very common to catch them from 3-3.5#. Our state record is over 7 #. We also have a hybrid strain called the meanmouth. That one gives about the best fight you can get. Our state record of them is over 5 #.

Don't have questions any longer. I switched to MK.

I've broken several rods but it was stupidity not temps that broke them.

I used to use Walt's synthetic blend from Bass Pro Rod and Reel repair center. Then Walt retired and it was no longer available. So now I just use Shimano oil.

You might also look at Captain Hooks.

When I fry I use corn meal on the fillet pieces after they have been dipped in a batter of milk, egg, and mustard. Toss them in my Fry Daddy and let them turn golden. Never let them cook very long. It will ruin the texture and flavor. But for today, I have a 6# walleye filleted. I'm going to put some olive oil and lemon pepper on it and pop it on the smoker for about 2 hours then have it with home made hash browns and asparagus, a wonderful lunch coming up.

That is absolutely correct. Can you get your money back on the total scan? Will your TI run total scan? You want map sharing get an ethernet cable it the TI is ethernet capable.

I did hundreds of them in years past when all you could get was written ones. Your lat lon numbers have to be the same like degrees/minutes/seconds. If they are listed differently your wpts won't be accurate. If they are different then you will have to use a conversion program to change them to the same coordinate system before you input them.

Have you checked your primer bulb and fuel lines?

I saw a real good video of Shimano Reel Cleaning Maintenance. It should be all you need.

Like Tom stated check the plugs. If you replace them make sure you get the correct ones. Also check the plug wires. Are you running non ethanol 91 octane fresh gasoline?

Is it possible that you took in water over the stern by shutting down too quickly? I've had a couple of boats that would do that if I pulled up too abruptly.

If they are actually deleted then as far as I know they are gone. Do you have another unit networked with it?

One thing that has not been mentioned is taxes. Don't forget state sales taxes and federal excise tax. They will come into play not only in product sales but also in record keeping. Here in MO when I looked into starting a bait company the government said I'd have to keep record of all customers and charge them sales tax which would have to be forwarded to the state. If you don't want this to become an overbearing burden for you, you will have to figure some kind of profit. Bait making is quite time consuming and takes a dedicated space or workshop. Good luck on your project.

I can tell you how a lot of guys have their boats. I used to be the sales manager at a boat dealership. Many customers could ill afford what they wanted. They would not even have the money to pay sales tax and wanted it financed in the deal. They also financed for as long as any bank would take them. Many of them would finance for 15 years at interest rates over 20%. What they did not understand was it took several years before the principal on the payment was larger than the interest. All they were interested in knowing was "How much is the payment?"

I run seafoam in some of my engines all year long. On the battery situation not charging them for months is not good. Check the water. If it is low add then charge.
