Mac users... speeding up Safari
True...For my self...I like to keep it on the simple side. I will use FireFox on a Mac because thats what I use on Ubuntu. On Windows its Edge. I do development and need to test on all...and it seems that Safari is always the one lacking....

I will agree that FireFox is better on a Mac...only because Safari is probably the worst of all the browsers. But...nothing is stopping you from using both either.

Try swapping out the reel and see if it make a difference.

Hello and welcome.- Spinning reel cleaning question
One thing I like to do is set the parts in a row(s). In the order you took em off...and in the orientation you took it off.- It’s finally here!
I'm liking the layout of the 1775 over the 1875.- Sluggish newer motor
All this is true...but essentially what your doing is called "over-propping"...and I'll leave it at that. Every outboard I've ever owned (and its only 5) recommend WOT 5000 - 6000 RPM.- New member from ny
Glad your here @jcjunior- 1992 procraft 200 combo information
I bet those are fill and pump-out for the live well? Just press em and see what it does. I've seen them use those icons for that...does it have a second live well?- Light Marabou jig blank for smallies
You'll be happy with that blank.- Latest Catch Pics Thread
- Worth Saving Plastics...
Yes...its worth it. Another option is to just add an old lure or two to the plastisol and create a lighter colored version it.- Gripping a Spinning Rod Redux
Two up, two down. I have never seen or heard of someone use the opposite hand to feather...but I'm sure it works. I remember buying my fist bait casting reel and thought well...I reel with my left hand...and bought left handed baitcasters. Also as for flipping the bail...I see alot of people doing this...and I'm sure this works too. But for me, I make a cast...feather the line (if I need to) and a lot of time I've engaged the reel and take up the slack line as the lure hits the water. This was primarily a habit developed wading...those river smallie are at times moving to get under something coming in the air. I also used Zebco ABU Cardinal 3 which had two bail spring...and you could not pull the bail back..it wasnt an option.- Sluggish newer motor
One thing to note is when your talking props you have to specify the diameter and the pitch. As noted by @Johnbt you really need a prop that gets you close the the mfg spec RPM. You run outboards wide open throttle.- Who’s Your Daddy (of finesse fishing)
I caught plenty of smallie's wading fishing a Little-O on 6lb test.- Largemouth bass virus
That is lymphosarcoma...its a virus that can spread fish to fish. ...could be dermal sarcoma too...- Who’s Your Daddy (of finesse fishing)
I feel really fortunate to have been school up on finesse fishing by Charlie Brewer and BIlly Westmorland.- The Found Lures Thread
That's being used for schooling bass. "Now...if you ever see one of these...RUN!"- Largemouth bass virus
<scratching head>- Do you go big or small in the fall?
It really kind of depends... Lets just dissect a thread fin shad...aka yellow tail shad. Large Bait It been my experience (rock fishing below tailrace) that fish (rockfish, lmb, smb, drum, hybrid, gar, skipjack) will hit the biggest yellow tail they can find. Why? Its because a thread fin shad is delicate, soft and I'm guessing...taste good. You could put on a large gizzard shad and may not catch anything. This is from countless trips with countless drifts. Small Bait On the main lake when the water temp gets into the 40's...the juvenile thread fin shad will start to die. Sometime you will see them collected on the shore of a wind blown bank. When there dying off (before their actually dead)...they just tend to suspend in the water. This is where a small light weight marabou jig will pay off. If you ever get a chance ...take a close look at a thread fin. Photos do not do it justice. They will have a yellow strip that runs down the side (you may see lures that have this). The end of the tail is yellow...and the belly is snow white.- Rod blank recommendations
I agree...nothing negative to say about NFC. - Finn & Gill
