Good for you.

Minn Kota vs. Lowrance
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.

Double uni knot users?
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.
- Help needed with line!

Double uni knot users?
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.

Double uni knot users?
Like stated I used it as well as the Albright.

High Vis braid, yellow, blue, etc. on clear water reservoirs?
I’ve been using white with no leader during the winter in pretty clear water.

Double uni knot users?
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.

Double uni knot users?
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?

Gosling Watch
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.

Submerged Trees
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.

Ultrex transducer use or separate? Fishfinder recommendations
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.

Folding trailer tongues
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.

Eyeopening Trip to Bass Pro Shop
Have you paid attention to the grocery bill. We are spending $200 a week for 2 of us and we have our own beef.

The HYBRID bass.
They are fun on top water in the summer but the nearest is over 100 miles away so I don’t go often.

Music on your boat ?
My wife listens to quiet music on her phone when in the boat.

First upgrade - iPilot ?
I try to pick everything apart when fishing Ned, jig or shaky. It also lets me move the boat without disabling spot lock.

Improved/Modified Double San Diego Jam for grass and algae
I think that makes it a Pitzen knot.

Lews Mach crush reel not casting as far as it use to
X2 listen to this guy because he knows what he’s talking about.

First upgrade - iPilot ?
Check to see if you have spot lock jog capability. It takes spot lock to a new level.

Brand new shimano (help required)
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?
-
Standard Palomar With Braid?
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.
