Screen name
I used to make jigs for a boat dock. They only took delivery (100 dozen) once an year and could never remember my name so when I walked it invariably someone would say, "There's the jig man."

Beer
Same as Bluebasser except I don't drink whiskey.

Split rings
Myself I'd get #3 heavy for the baits. I have no idea for the ovals.

Interference on My Helix 5 SI GPS
My Lowrances do this in shallow water. I think it is so much sound being reflected back in the shallow water. That shallow all they are good for is keeping you from running aground.

A Combo for the Fiancee
I splurge her bud. Like stated you can use it when she isn't fishing. My wife has "accumulated" several setups over the years. She would rather do puzzles than fish, so guess who gets to use them most often.

Chatterbait weight..
I make bladed jigs so I have sizes from 1/4 to 1 oz. The one I use most of the time is 1/2 oz.

Do I need a new pawl???

Power Pole question..
You can let them down by increments. In 3 fow I doubt you can go very much. I have 8' poles on a 20' boat. The brackets are in the water when the boat is stopped.

Lowrance Fish Reveal - new software update
For those who downloaded and tried it what do you think? I messed around with it a bit yesterday. I was not impressed. I'll try some different color pallets next time out.

Lowrance Fish Reveal - new software update
You should always do a hard reset after updates. BE SURE TO SAVE YOUR WAYPOINTS ROUTES AND TRAILS BEFORE DOING THE HARD RESET. I don't know the keystrokes for sure but you can find them out at the Lowrance website. I don't seem to have lost anything on my Gen 3 units.

Lure swap
Unless someone else signed up and I missed it then there are 9 of us so I guess 8.

Lure swap
I plan to sort my baits into units for each person. I will package them in zip lock bags with my screen name inside so Blue won't have to sort them and people will know who sent them.

Lure swap
I have shipped a thing or two to Canada. I'm thinking we need to send you at least $10 with our baits to cover shipping. I am working on finalizing my stuff. Since plastics go for less money I will be sending more of them. Blue if you will pm me you shipping info I will get mine in the mail sometime next week.

Help picking boat length...
If I had kids 5 and 3 I would be considering a deep V instead of a bass boat. It would be a lot safer with that age kids.

Lure swap
OK I have been looking at what I want to do. I will make an assortment for 15. I need to start now because it will take me some time. I am recovering from 3 fractured ribs and a ruptured lung so I can't stand and work except for short periods.

Lure swap
That is kind of what I had figured. So is the list complete? Am I making for 9 guys? How do we decide how many items to make for each person?
-
Lure swap
Since no one else has signed up for soft plastics, I'll make some. I am still not sure how this is going to work. Are we making some for everyone on the list of what?

Understanding sonar... Newbie
That is structure scan.

Mono or braid
If you are going to use it for Ned very often, I recommend that you use 6# fluorocarbon line in order to get the most bites. Your extra fast rod may cause you to set the hook too quickly if you aren't really attentive.

Shakey head on casting gear?
I almost always use bc for shaky. I use rods from 6.5' to 7.5'/ 12# fluro/ 7 to 8 speed reels.
