  1. If they are indeed "kinks" you need to replace the wire.
  2. Nice work from shore.
  3. Riggers and rod holders mounted to the plywood. Riggers have a 6X6 3/8 thick aluminum backing plate under the plywood Dipsy rod holders I used SS fender washers as a backing. Rigger booms are extended to 5ft when in use with 12 lb weights. I usually run the riggers 90 deg out to the sides.Everything is plenty strong enough and been there a long time with no issues. Good luck with whatever you decide.
  4. I built a couple pedestals out of aluminum and mounted them to the plywood seat tops where you have your rod holders on my little boat. Will post pictures when I get home
  5. X2
  6. My buddy went 4 for 6 this morning in 5 to 10 fow casting plugs and spoons from his drift boat. The fish are there but it;s a tough bite.. Good luck and post a report when you fish.
  7. I'll take them. will be up in mexico this weekend. You going to be around?
  8. It's that time of year again. The spawning season sales pitch. Same BS every fall.
  9. All my 500 & 600s are LC's. 800's with copper and cores no LC"S
  10. Happy with my Tekotas and I own over 2 dozen between 800's, 600's and 500's. Taken an awful lot of fish on them and no regrets. Good luck with your decision.
  11. Great fish!!! Congratulations.
  12. If you decide to go with scottys I would recommend the older style with the mechanical counters. Pretty much bullet proof. Also the extendable boom and the swivel base gives you all the flexibility you will ever need https://johnssportinggoods.com/product/downriggers/scotty-downriggers/electric-downrigger/scotty-downrigger-1116/ https://johnssportinggoods.com/product/downriggers/scotty-downriggers/electric-downrigger/scotty-downrigger-1106/ Good luck with your decision
  13. I guess looting and burning are not worth mentioning by some.
  14. You will be happy with the cannons. Glad you caught it before you lost anything,
  15. X2 However correct size crimps installed correctly should not slip.
  16. Usually doesn't matter to the fish. It's more of a speed thing dependent on what you have in the water and how you adjust your boat speed to the current. Plenty of days working the same area I have been taking more shots going in one direction while another boat in the area is getting bit more moving in the opposite direction.
  17. Sharks for optimum performance torpedo shape for good performance and a lot less cost.I got some from troutman and they are decent
  18. I put a couple hundred ft of 40 lb mono on the 600's and 1000 ft of 30 lb 7 strand fills the reel nice.Edit. Good luck. Opps sorry. you were asking about the rigger reels.
  19. I run 600's on my wires and rigger rods for salmon, 500's on my Brown trout rods. Haven't fished the new ones yet, these are the old style.
  20. It can get crowed on the weekends. Crowded if the fishing is good but doable.
  21. Piece of parachute cord with a small stainless steel clip tied on the end
