I would recommend starting out with a snubber. They help to dissipate some of the energy caused by a big ole mean King slamming a lure. These fish will break stuff. If it's not working for you it would take all of a minute to remove it and draw your own conclusion. Good luck Glen

I always run snubbers on wire dipsys and no problem with hook ups. The drags on my Tekota 600's are so smooth that I can run them set tighter than most. Only disk diver I don't run snubbers on are Slide divers because of the stretch of the 50 - 70 ft of mono leader.

Hit a lot of Bass last time out 2 weeks ago. Trolling stickbaits off the boards. 8 ft of water or less. Good luck

Glad everything worked out and everyone is safe Tim. Congrats on the big fish.

Nice job.

Shark weights are great for reduced blowback. Atomic 13 lb Torpedos will do the trick for a lot less money. Good luck Glen

Sub Troll does everything I need it to do. Good luck on your decision.

Nice!!!

Cold water Brown trout fishing in the bay has been great this past month. We started the 1st weekend in April and been catching many Browns a few Steelhead and a few Lakers. Happy customers have been hitting more quality fish than normal this month. Regular Brown stuff, sticks and spoons have been working with lure color, size and desired action changing with water, wind and sunlight conditions. Down side has been the wind. Rockin and rollin every weekend so far but so have the rods. Have this weekend off to hook a few of my own than at it hard for May. Good fishing Capt. Glen

Everything you did on the boat is just perfect as always. Running like a top. Glen

AP is alright Pete. Not as good as fast reacting as my old Simrad but it does the job I guess. Also can only turn 5 deg at a time or it will alarm out. If I had to do it again I would have spent the extra $700.00 clams and got another Simrad. Hank did a great job on the boat as always.

8'3" Ugly stick light action downrigger rods. Tough and the action is just right for Browns, Steelies, Cohos and will hold up to the occasional, accidental King taken while Brown fishing. Good luck. Glen

Yup. Long as they are the big ones. Why mono backing on copper? Braid is nice. Good luck Glen

Took a King about 7 or 8 years ago with a very green back Ace fishing a pro/am out of Sodus. Fish was about 18 lbs and about maybe 67 of 7 miles west of port. Glen

I went with a Si-tex that I can adapt to my existing Simrad pump.

Found this picture LOL

Nope. Have run them in 15 deg temps with 20 mph NW winds and no problems.

Wieght of the motor should be a consideration in your decision. That said I've never heard anybody complain because they were over powered. Put on the largest hp rating that your boat will support the weight of. I would guess about an 8 hp. Four strokes are nice. Good luck Glen
