I think the holes in the bottom would work better to keep them from rooting imho.

So....basically what this means is we don't catch the smart ones??

I really do appreciate all the responses and info. Like I said, I haven't ever used one and know nothing about them. I wouldn't have thought about having to check the laws about there use or using trailers etc.. learned a lot..thanks fellows..

Appreciate all the info..wow..

Daiwa, Abu Garcia and I have some old open face Penn reels I really like. Penn was popular when I was younger and that was pretty much what I used. Of course probably like most people, my first reel was a Zebco 33 about 40 years ago.

I forgot about them lol. I agree with you.

A friends dad left home early one morning to go fishing and never made it back home. His truck was found at a popular boat ramp with the boat still on the trailer. Apparently he had pulled to the side to get ready to unload his boat and that was the last of him. So yeah I see a reason to carry. He was alone at a dark ramp that was well used and someone still managed to take him. Sometimes the boogie man does exists.

Does Right Said Fred count as weird?..

Does anyone here use or have used a umbrella rig? I don't know anything about them and would like to try one out. Any advice is welcomed.

Do Garmins sync up to any trolling motors or no? Thank you for the info

This may be a dumb question, but why not just use a hook with weight and float it on a bobber?

Hi fellow fishers. Eventually I plan on having a shallow water anchor system and would like to have some advice/opinions on the 2 mentioned. Pros/cons? I know it'll depend on what boat it's used on, I would just like to know which is prefered and why. Thank you for your help.

Most boats I've owned have been mod v hulls and I haven't ever felt uneasy because of the weather. To me the mod v's are more stable than deep v hulls when standing/walking around(mine was just a simple 14ft rig).

Dead milkmen...been ages since I've heard that name

I use a 1/0 worm hook and usually texas rig. That 1/0 hook seems to me to be the best size by allowing you to catch panfish if you happen to stumble across them bass fishing. Gives better hook ups imho. I've been using the 4in dead ringer for a long time and have had very good luck with them. Also, the ones I got from Tackle Warehouse float with a 1/0 hook making it possible to use top water. (I'm sorry. I just noticed you were not talking about the 4in. dead ringer. I feel like an idiot. Sorry again.)

Yeah, I texas rig and also carolina rig. I use a 1/0 worm hook with 4in. dead ringer. Also, they float with the 1/0 hook so they can be used top water.

^^^same

My right so I could still aim a gun

Maybe try running some Seafoam thru it with fressh gas. That'll clean the carb and help get any gunk out of it.

I don't understand why people bought all the toilet paper up for a respiratory virus. They got their ends confused.

R.I.P. You'll be missed

They make a glow in the dark paint that's clear during the day and glows at night. I've only seen it used indoors to make designs on children's bedroom ceiling. Not sure how well it would hold up outside. Probably find it at Wal-Mart or a craft store.

^^ same here. Sometimes I think the trailers are a bit much and have had good results without them on occasions I've added skirts to spoons and have seen it make a big difference in getting more bites. Not related just rambling

I found a dead bait trolling rig that kinda looked similar but not exactly the same as what you have.
