Advice on a new fish finder
Looking for a decent one for around $150 or less. Color does not matter to me, Nor does the brand really. I just want the best features for the price, and accuracy on showing bottom structure, small baitfish, etc. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

using clips
I recently stopped using clips just to force me to not change lures every 10 seconds. I cant say for sure it caught me more fish but i do feel the action better through my rod with the line attached directly to my lure.

St. Croix Legend Tournamnet rod
I have the 6'8 model for soft plastics, it's a great rod. Matched with a Daiwa Tierra - Honestly it's an amazing reel, and it's fairly cheap.

Navionics NavPlanner Info
Thanks for the idea, In the end i might end up just getting something like that. But i also liked the idea of adding waypoints, planning trips from a full pc screen to transfer to my handheld gps.

Crankbait Q?
I read and hear all over that in order to get solid strikes on crankbaits you must first bump them into cover or run them in contact with the bottom. Is this true in all cases? Anyone ever have any luck just running them just above bottom or mid level with no contact? Just curious.

Navionics NavPlanner Info
Im looking into something where I can view my Navionics chips on my pc. When looking around the net i hear a lot of complaints about older NavPlanner software. (And the price is pretty crazy, considering you had to buy a card in the first place at a high cost IMHO) Is it actually a good program to use? Fairly easy to use? Any other options out there, Possibly cheaper?

Im sure if you contact St. Croix they would help you with your problem. I did a rod upgrade, and a rod repair with ease through them. They always seems to do the best to help me out.
