Hole in boat.. how screwed am i
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.

What’s your favorite finesse rod and reel?
Nope. I also use a old GL2 PR844C for my crankbait/topwater rod. I love it.

Fluorocarbon leader material or mainline for leader?
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.

Pelican Bass Raider 10E
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.

paint for jon boats
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.

What’s your favorite finesse rod and reel?
I know I've got a couple Sahara 2500's on my spare rods. Should make a nice little combo.

What’s your favorite finesse rod and reel?
I just got off the phone with Doybns. I picked up a Sierra 692 SF. Now what size reel to put on it.....

What’s your favorite brand rod? Megabass, shimano, st croix, G.loomis...
I'm partial to G. Loomis but I also have some St Croix & Dobyns. For reels I stick to Shimano, Daiwa & Abu Garcia.

St Croix Mojo Bass spinning rod
Sounds good. Now to see if any Memorial Day sales can get me more than the 10% off I can get at Cabela's.

St Croix Mojo Bass spinning rod
Every search I've made before starting this thread takes me to that rod.

St Croix Mojo Bass spinning rod
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.

If its been said direct me. But in search of a frogging setup
You didn't tell him where that was at.

Any Pelican Bass Raider Owners Out There?
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.

Lew's / Lucas Line of Reel Oils and Grease
I use the Lucas Extreme gun oil. So far so good on both firearms and reels.

Shimano Curado K vs Daiwa Tatula 150
I sold my Tatulas and replaced them with Curados. I like them much better.

No idea on a 63 foot rod, but here is your hook when you find it.

do you tune/ upgrade your baitcasters?
I'll replace parts as they wear out. I've never felt the need to upgrade anything. YMMV.
