  1. I use this. https://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-safety-wire-twisting-pliers-45340.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=12169518939&campaignid=12169518939&utm_content=114845724617&adsetid=114845724617&product=45340&store=93&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgribBhDkARIsAASA5bvmFN_wSbMXjHv6y7YZwrOu5oe1poyFd-3uI3xkFC-qh7ba7I2eG1IaAt_ZEALw_wcB

    I have switched to the weedless Ned with the Victory hooks. No keepers or glue needed.
  3. I have 2 Leathermans and a Swiss army knife. If you give me an hour I might be able to find at least one of them.

    If worse comes to worse you can heat a wire and melt a hole in them then they will push over the barb. You may have to glue them in place.
  5. When the water is hard. The coldest day that I have ever been the temperature was -5°. I wouldn’t do it again.
  6. If you want to try a variety look up wine insider. During the lock down my wife bought several cases of red, white, and mixed. They came from all over Europe and Australia.
  7. I’ve caught lots of whites and a few walleye on them.
  8. If you have good electronics or plan to get some then get the ones that pair with them. When I ran Lowrance I had Power poles. I have gone to Humminbirds so if I still used them I would have Talons. Since I got a spot lock trolling motor I find no use for them.
  9. When fishing a Ned rig, I wait until I feel line pressure before I set the hook. If I feel a strike and set the hook I miss a lot of fish.
  10. I’ve never seen one left outside for any length of time that didn’t show it. The sun is especially hard on the top of the cap.
  11. That simple math might be accurate if the battery were new and fully charged, the trolling motor was in perfect running order with no worn brushes and there was no wind or current. Otherwise I see it as hypothetical. Which places me in A-Jays camp.
  12. No you are not. I have no clue as to what channel I would tune to if I cared to watch some.
  13. I use 50# braid. When I can’t get it loose I wrap the line around a boat cleat and use the trolling motor to pull it free. Only once have I lost one that was hung bad enough to break my line.
  14. I use 7 and 8 ratio reels for everything except A rigs. For them I use 5.
  15. Cooked parasites are 100% protein.
  16. Lure parts on line sells wire forms for A rigs. You can buy epoxy putty and make your own heads any shape you want. I did that before I bought a mold. I even used electric fencing wire to make some. I’ve been throwing them for several years. I keep 2 setups with Arigs tied on year round.
  17. I make my own. I use a ball head in 1/16 and 1/8 depending on how deep I plan to fish it.
  18. Try adding a bobber to your current setup.
  19. Mixing is not for me. I want all of them able to network and share data.
  20. I can’t imagine how it can be done. Can you elaborate?
  21. You might want to put a keeper on the hook. Most any wire of even weed guard will work. I like floral wire. You can even use heat shrink tubing.
  22. I’ve never seen one with foot control that didn’t have a 2 part shaft. I don’t think you can make it happen.
  23. When I worked for a boat dealership I sold extended warranties. I got 20% of the cost and the owner got 30%.
