You guys really think the color of the wire matters? If you run 8' leaders to a flasher and then the leader to the fly, you are 10' + or - from the wire. IMO it does not matter.
If you are running Plainer boards and you see a sailboat (no matter how close), turn the opposite direction it is heading and stay away from it. It will find you and run over you plainerboard in a hurry. Don't ask how I know.
I'm looking for the Navionics chip for my Lowrance X-15. Here is the code from the site LAKE ONTARIO US849L. I'm looking to find a used chip that is not so expensive.
I tried 15 up to 30 and settled with 30. The big pike would head shake at the hole and break the lighter leader no matter how light I faught them. I landed a lot of pike on 15 and 20 but did not want to lose a big pike. some guys swear by 15 lb but I think they are crazy.
I'm with Rob on this one. I would love to see the Cards win. Cardinals have a great offense but struggle against good defenses. Pittsburg has the Defense and the offense to win the big game.
