Jig Man

I have owned both and never plan to have a Tracker in my garage again.

Electric start/Long shaft/ Power Trim/Oil injected a two stroke carb engine. I wouldn't buy a new one. EPA rulings are making them hard to use on many waters. EFIs aren't much better.

When you talk 2 stroke do you mean carbs. If so that technology is slipping away and not even allowed on some waters. The electronic fuel injection 2 stroke motors are in somewhat of a decline because of fuel efficency. The direct injected 2 stroke engines are as fuel efficient as the 4 strokes and a lot lighter in weight. I think you will probably see the DI motors become the only 2 strokes available in a few years. I don't know about carbs and EFIs but the tech who looks after my DI says that I only have to run it to 4500 rpms to keep the carbon build up off.

I have a couple of GL3s and a couple of Avids. If I were getting rid of anything it would be the GL3s. The Avids are closer to the IMX series.

Skimmers can be mounted inside the same as pucks. I had one for several years and only took it out last summer.

I think you could do fine with a MG or MK. Choose the one you like the best. Buy the most # thrust you can get/afford. Then match it up with the largest reserve amp battery (185-200) that you can find in a 27 or 29 series.

Bass Boat Saver. I have replaced 5 products with this stuff. I clean the boat, motor, windshields, trailer, wheels, and the truck dash. It is an all in one product.

If you didn't get bit on the tube, then I'd say you were fishing in the wrong places.

X2 I buy hooks buy the 100 or 1000 and I haven't beat this place.

This absolutely works. I have never seen one that wouldn't come out.

X2 except with 3 guys in a boat, I'd not be throwing anything with treble hooks on the first outing.

You can use them any time you want. If you don't use them they will get so nasty you'll just wind up throwing them away like I did.

I like the bakudan and pour my own.

Only trailer for a buzz is a trailer hook.

I use the ones from BPS.

If you are a Microsoft data base user, I have a data base set up for a log. I have been using it for 10 years and really like it. I can email you a copy if you are interested.

Thanks RW. Due to an oversight on my part I have to make the decision tonight.

I have 2 Avid spinning rods which I am giving as BD presents. They are both M. One is fast tip and one is extra fast. One guy is 23 the other guy is 43. Both are occasional fishermen. So considering age and reflex which rod would you give to which guy or would it matter.

I just got a Bass Pro flyer today. They have several tmotors on sale.

I don't use that brand but would offer some advice on batteries. Get the biggest series 24, 27,29, 31 that you and your budget can handle. Also get the most reserve amps in that series size.

It may be the oven. The heat in some ovens is quite high while getting to the desired temp setting. You might try pre heating the oven then putting the jigs in.

I wouldn't have a glass boat without one. They are not hard to install. You just have to be able to scratch your boat with a Scotch Brite pad.

I jig and t-rig conservation brush piles which are 20 or more feet deep. I have lots of fish wrap around stuff. All I do is keep a tight line. Most of the time the fish will unwrap itself and move out of the brush.
