  1. I’ve had great luck with Minn Kota support. Their information was spot on every time and one guy even gave me some good advice about how to sell my control head after I upgraded my Ulterra from Ipilot to link.
  2. Thanks for the responses. I used my braid with leader and think my hookup ratio increased. I will definitely give it some more time. 5 wraps worked just fine.
  3. It would help if you identified your location and what the cover and structure are like.
  4. I’m not asserting that it isn’t a good knot. I found it to be a pain to tie in the boat. So I have no plans to revisit that situation.
  5. Like stated I used it as well as the Albright.
  6. I’ve been using white with no leader during the winter in pretty clear water.
  7. Well I put 5 wraps on. I plan to go back tomorrow. If I find fish I should know if 5 will be enough. Thanks for the info guys. About the Alberto, I’ve used it. It was never my favorite.
  8. I quit using braid with a leader several years ago. I believe that I need to use it again because of the way bass are striking my Keitech swim baits. I am going to use 8# fluorocarbon leader and I have braid that is very close to the same diameter. It’s been a long time since I’ve done this. My question is will 5 wraps be sufficient. If not, then how many do I need?
  9. They have become a complete nuisance around here. They never leave and we aren’t allowed to kill them. They wonder around campgrounds, parking lots, boat ramps and courtesy docks. They must take a dump several times an hour because their poop is everywhere.
  10. You may have heard of one of our local guys, Stacey King. Table Rock has hundreds of thousands of standing dead trees. He is a master of the single tail grub on a 1/8 oz head swimming it through them. I go more for the bottom dwellers with jigs or plastics. One of the guys who I regularly fish with catches a lot on Keitech swim baits around them. Right after the spawn try a spook on isolated trees. The big girls often hang out there for a while.
  11. When did they put mega side in? When I had my Ulterra changed it wasn’t available.
  12. They can have two different types of transducers. If it has the U2 universal sonar it will be 2d and should work with most brands of sonar units. The other type is a Humminbird with 2d and down scan.
  13. My swing away tongue on my Nitro trailer is 32” from the end to the hinge. I’m sure the differ by boat length. If your dealer doesn’t have the answer, go to the G3 website and find out how to contact them and ask your question.
  14. Have you paid attention to the grocery bill. We are spending $200 a week for 2 of us and we have our own beef.
  15. They are fun on top water in the summer but the nearest is over 100 miles away so I don’t go often.
  16. My wife listens to quiet music on her phone when in the boat.
  17. I try to pick everything apart when fishing Ned, jig or shaky. It also lets me move the boat without disabling spot lock.
  18. X2 listen to this guy because he knows what he’s talking about.
  19. Check to see if you have spot lock jog capability. It takes spot lock to a new level.
  20. Wow. Sorry but I have no idea. I have at least 20 Shimano spinning reels, have switched the handles and never encountered that situation. Have you called Shimano?
  21. I use the Pitzen knot for mono, fluorocarbon, and braid. I have never had a knot problem. I don’t even know how to tie a double Pitzen.
  22. I’ve been using a Bac Rac for years. Mine only holds 4 rods but they are out of the way.
