    I have at least a dozen of the old Jollies, and still use them. You can find small sheets of neoprene on the web for cheap and cut out new replacement pads yourself. I did cut off the big loop at the end and twisted the wire around a big coast lock snap to keep them on the planer board line... the original design would sometimes open up with a good hit, and drop the release in the lake.

    The spoons pictured above are indeed Illuminators, I ran then for a while back in the late 80's...... As I recall, they never put a fish in the boat. They were not speed tolerant at all, and made of plastic, you can't tune them by bending. I do think they would be a good choice for walleye at slower speeds.

    I use 30 lb.Trilene Big Game mono on all rods, and add different pound test flourocarbon leaders as needed, usually 10lb. off the boards and riggers for spring browns, 15 lb. off riggers for late spring / early summer, then 20 lb. for summer and fall.

    I picked up the golf shirt and a coffee cup when the site first started with Cafepress. Pleased with the qiality of the products. I've used the coffee cup for a few years now every day at work, and have put it through many dishwasher cycles.... it still looks new.

    REZ !!!!!!! Nice to see you on the board, Gary! I didn't hear from you last summer, so I figured either you didn't make it up to Sodus for the salmon action, or you wised up in your old age and decided not to hang out with me..... Either way, i hope things are going well for you. Merry Christmas! Jim

    Unclepaul, We may have to get together for coffee and some boat rigging discussion this winter... I have a 17ft. aluminum I've rigged as a multi-species boat, also run from Braddocks Bay. I checked your profile.... we are also the same age, birthdays are a week apart... We can talk after the holidays if you'd like. Jim S. North Greece / Braddocks bay

    The city's updated plan shows the boat launch remaining intact when the marina basin is finished...... we'll have to wait and see... Marina Rendering Phase 1.pdf

    No screws or bolts are included. Each mounting application is unique... fiberglass vs. aluminum, backer plate thickness, etc.

    I switched to shorter rods 4 seasons back... one of the best moves I've made. I've never lost a fish because I didn't have enough rod to handle them. Running Shimano TDR 7' medium action for riggers and board rods, same rod in medium heavy for lead core. Chopped the butts down on all rods, so length now is 6' 8"..... also using 7' 6" heavy musky rods with twilli tip for wire divers. Just my $.02

    Also running Furuno 620.... best I've ever owned

    Old school here.... fishing from a small boat.. stack 2 rods per downrigger and a wire diver on each side.. 6 rods. I can put the 4 rigger lures exactly where I want them... sometimes the wire divers are a "best guess" depth. Starboard corner

    I use 7 1/2 foot medium heavy musky rods with twili tips for my wire divers.... lots of leverage, easy to handle on a small boat. I tie a 20 ft. leader of 30 lb. mono to the wire with a #8 Spro Power swivel and run a slide diver on the mono.... makes netting fish with a short rod easy.

    Tangler, I was thinking the same thing after seeing Tim's pic..
