  1. I like my E6X. Plus it's made in the USA.
  2. Does Gorilla Tape actually stick to and stay stuck to PE? My transducer is mounted on a suction cup to use between both of my boats. The textured surface of my new Sundolphin 8.5 wont hold the suction cup for long. If I can just put a couple of strips of Gorilla tape on it that will give me a smooth surface to mount to.
  3. Nope. I also use a old GL2 PR844C for my crankbait/topwater rod. I love it.
  4. I'm putting together a finesse rig. A Dobyn's Sierra 692 with either a Sahara 2500, 1500 or Excelor 1500 (I have all 3). I was thinking your last suggestion with 15lb braid & 8lb FC leader would be just about right.
  5. Black 6" Producto Lure tournament worm on a Mister Twister keeper hook. First bass I ever caught. It was in 1984, but it still seems like yesterday. I fished that same pond two days ago.
  6. Harbor freight trailer
  7. I'd get a small harbor freight type trailer. I used to have a 10' Jon and I couldn't imagine putting it on a roof rack.
  8. I used KEM 400 from Sherwin-Williams on my duck boat. It's been 2 years and it still looks the same. Prep is EVERYTHING. Edit: I used my compressor and a paint gun, not the rattle cans. Although I'd bet they'd work great.
  9. I know I've got a couple Sahara 2500's on my spare rods. Should make a nice little combo.
  10. I just got off the phone with Doybns. I picked up a Sierra 692 SF. Now what size reel to put on it.....
  11. I'm partial to G. Loomis but I also have some St Croix & Dobyns. For reels I stick to Shimano, Daiwa & Abu Garcia.
  12. Sounds good. Now to see if any Memorial Day sales can get me more than the 10% off I can get at Cabela's.
  13. Every search I've made before starting this thread takes me to that rod.
  14. I need (well want) a new spinning rod. This will be primarily used for wacky worms/Senkos and weightless plastics. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the Mojo Bass 6'8" M/XF or the 7'1" M/F. Which do you all recommend? Please feel free to suggest another rod completely, but I'd like to keep it at $150 or less.
  15. I've got a Sun Dolphin Sportsman 8 in route from Sportsmans Warehouse. They had them on sale for $349 and then I had a $50 coupon, 299 shipped. Should be a great little pond hopper.
  16. I use the Lucas Extreme gun oil. So far so good on both firearms and reels.
  17. I sold my Tatulas and replaced them with Curados. I like them much better.
  18. I pocket carry my 642.
  19. No idea on a 63 foot rod, but here is your hook when you find it.
  20. I'll replace parts as they wear out. I've never felt the need to upgrade anything. YMMV.
