  1. Yes you can wax the engine and the cowling.

    I find the mustad to be a lot better hook than the eagle claw.
  3. I am partial to Fenwick HMG rods for under $150. I have 9 of them. Two I just bought on Monday.
  4. I have been using Hi Vis yellow Power Pro for so long that most of it is white now. In clear water, which is mostly where I fish, I use a fluro leader unless fishing deeper than 30'.

    I'd check Do-It for the molds and fishingskirts.com for the skirts.
  6. Time of year and water clarity make the difference in what I do no matter if it is spinning or baitcasting. I go from 6# mono to 12# mono. I also run braid from 8# to 30# with or without a leader depending on water clarity and bait. On average in warm weather with shallow fish, I like a 6/6" MF St Croix Avid or Gloomis IMX with braid and a 10-12# fluro leader.
  7. I have a bunch of brush hogs and baby brushogs that I may never use. I'd make someone a pretty good deal on them. I'd show some pics but this site won't support them for me anymore.
  8. Shimano 2500 in your price range.
  9. What the hell are they fertilizing with a boat?????
  10. North of the MO river there is always Canada. The smallmouth last year on Stockton were almost nonexistent for me and I fish it a lot.
  11. 12 V pull more anps than any other motor. If a 27 will fit then use one of them with the most reserve amps you can get.
  12. Sorry, I too misunderstood your post. I have some Single Strand stainless seel wire by Mason #11 .026 diameter that would be just the ticket. I use it to make hook keepers and screw locks.
  13. X2 http://www.stripersonline.com/Pages/Articles/article_arby_albertos_knot.shtml
  14. 90# surflon
  15. I wear the inflatables in the winter when the water is cold and I am fishing by myself. During those times I don't run over 35 mph. When the water and air are warm I run faster and use the regular pfds.
  16. I'm not familiar with your mold or hooks but I do a lot of hook bending to make them fit my molds. As long as I bend slowly and only bend once it works fine without heat. I have done a lot of 28° to 60° when low on hooks.
  17. Lure Craft has them on sale for $32 right now.
  18. *can i use two regular hand injectors to do laminate pours or can i just buy an adaptor? That depends on the type of molds and the type of injectors. For some it takes different tips and an adapter. If it is a pour mold take it apart pour one side, put it together and then pour the other side. You might even be able to do that with an injector. *what's the best plastic material? I like Calhoun's medium *do aluminum molds work better than plaster molds? About the same as a jet plane compared to a Corvair, Ugo or Omni depending on your knowledge base.
  19. I do the same as BigM. You could add solder at the joint and it would hold.
  20. It all depends on just what you mean by bulk (10s, 100s, or 1000s). I'd give Gman and Cadman a shot if it were me. They are both good guys who are around this forum quite a bit.
  21. I have been running a Dual Pro for 9 years. If mine ever goes out, I'll but another one. Get a bank for every battery in the boat. Get a 10-15 amp per bank charger.
  22. Networked, etherneted Lowrance gps/sonar units.
  23. I never go bass fishing without at least one tube tied on. Right now I have 2 ready to go in the boat for today's trip. I make my own and try to keep the colors simple smoke, green pumpkin, pumpkin seed, black neon mainly.
  24. On my MG there are two 6g. wires and the plug is a 3 plug single gang twist lock. The jump is done at the batteries to make 24V.
