I've used 7 ft diawa wilderness mh rods with wire and mag dipsys and have had no issues. I dont like long diver rods. My outside rods are 8 and 8.5

When do you all start running flashers for salmon? Does anyone run them in spring up shallow? Say 20-40’ or is this time of year only a spoon/stickbait bite?

A lot of guys are running larger diameter shallower pitch props for kickers. Those props are better at pushing heavy loads at slower speeds. Main advantage is better bite, more control, and less prop slip as compared to a prop that is designed to operate at higher speeds. Some specific kickers like the Yammy High Thrust or the Merc Bigfoots have a gearbox that has a lower gearing as well which helps. I swapped out a 3 blade OEM prop on my 9.9 merc 4 stroke that I use on my driftboat for a Solas Amita 4 blade in a 12" pitch versus the 16" pitch prop that came with the outboard - noticable difference in performance. Boat is limited to about 7mph because its a non-planing hull and either prop could get me there but the 4 blade solas definitely moves a lot of water and keeps the boat on track.

Kill them bastards

The Feds showed up at the Oak to fire blanks and poppers at the birds as we pulled the steelhead pens out to the Lake Monday evening. As well as the chinook’s being released at the docks. They said they’d be there on Tuesday to continue to haze the birds. I know DEC helped schedule them just like last year.

Just bought a Suzuki 9.9 for trolling. It came with the standard 3 blade prop. I see a lot of guys have the four blade props on their trolling motors. What is the advantage of these props for trolling?

I have two LiFePo4 wired for 24 volts for my trolling motor. I have 2 HTRC 20 amp batterie chargers to charge them at the same time. Can I disconnect the positive cable going to the trolling motor and hook up both chargers without un hooking the other wires?

Good info. Thx for sharing, Good luck with install-

Looking for input on a weather app for Lake Ontario South shore

I will give the 7’ MH TDRs a shot, inexpensive experiment . I appreciate the insight

Been fishing out of a 17 footer since 1996. 7-71/2 foot rods for everything.... never had an issue.

I run one piece 7's with regular rings and twillys, on the inside . NP's!
