    Trailer wheels and tires - ST175/80/13 LR C

    in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent

    Posted · Edited by Misty IV

     

    I recently upgraded to load range D tires on the boat trailer and have the old load range C ones available if anyone needs a set or a spare tire.

     

    All (4) are Load Star brand. (3) are the Karrier radial, (1) is the K550 bias. The K550 was my spare and has never been installed on an axle; tread still has the little nubbies. The Karriers have about 5000 miles on them. All are load range C. White spoke wheels are included.

     

    Asking $50 for all (4) but will separate if you only need (1) or (2).

     

    I'll be back up in Pulaski beginning of July or if you're local, I'll meet up with you. Thanks!IMG_20180602_111419423.jpgIMG_20180602_111512553.jpgIMG_20180602_111520285.jpgIMG_20180602_111605736.jpgIMG_20180602_111525600.jpg

    Spoon manufacturer??

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    Can anyone help identify the manufacturer of this spoon? I was cleaning out the boat this weekend and came across this spoon which I obviously used last year because it wasn't in the tackle box where it should have been. It's chrome on the reverse side and has a silver glitter on the rough textured green paint. Anyone have a clue? No stampings anywhere on it. Thanks!IMG_20180519_190533431.jpg

    Pair of BIG collapsible Cedar Planer Boards

    Sold

     

    I have a pair of collapsible cedar planer boards for sale. The sides measure 32" long and opened up they measure 12" across. When collapsed, they are 36" long and 3" across. The wood is in nice shape with only a few scratches. I added the yellow tape to make them more visible in the bigger waves. I haven't used these in a few years and just making more room on the boat for other gear and equipment.

     

    Asking $50 for the pair.IMG_20180508_194942768.jpgIMG_20180508_195002433.jpgIMG_20180508_195007971.jpgIMG_20180508_195048223_HDR.jpgIMG_20180508_195315007.jpgIMG_20180508_195253005.jpg

    Line counter reels

    I would say if you fish 1 to 2 days a week the Okuma convectors are a great reel. Magna Pros have problems with the line counters. And they also don't have the best Drag. It's all what's in your budget Shimano definitely has fantastic reels. Good luck to you

    I'm basically a weekend warrior throughout the season, with 2 weeks a year on vacation and on the water as much as possible. I love Tekotas and have worked with them on friends' boats. I'm replacing 6 reels, so the Tekotas would be pricey in the end, but I know they'd last and hold up. Decisions, decisions...

    We used that model in the fall because we wanted to load an extra reel with braid on a dipsy.  It boated a 32lb 10oz salmon.  I found the 15lb drag maximum on them is not enough for a salmon.  It was a new reel but after a few salmon boated, you had to tighten the drag way too much for it to work comfortably.  The drag was still smooth after all them fish but it felt like it was past its limits.  I really liked how it felt, the smoothness of the reel and how it handled itself in battle.  The gear ratio was great for this reel.  I would recommend this reel for walleye, browns, bass or bows.....just not salmon.  I have found a reel with a higher gear ratio and a drag around 20 lbs to be the best for salmon.  Convectors hold up good, you only have to replace the drags each time they weaken.  I find the Tekota 600 is weak on the drags even when you replace them.  If you do go with Tekota's for salmon, try a Tekota 700.  I tried last year at the marina a few reels from friends.  The best reel was the Daiwa Saltist 50.  It is smooth with a 6:1 - 1 gear ratio and a drag around 20lbs.  As long as you have the one without the line counter that is.  Their line counter reel is just in an awkward place.  I am about to try a Daiwa Seagate 60 this year for copper and also would like any input on these as the drag is around 20 lbs and it has a higher gear ratio for resetting lines.

    I felt the 15lb drag perhaps wouldn't be enough, as well. Thanks for offering up that bit of info. I'm upgrading from Daiwa SG47LCA's which I got many, many solid years out of.

    I'm upgrading to all new reels on my downrigger rods and was pretty much set on Okuma Convectors. While browsing one of the LOU sponsors online catalogs, I came across the Penn Warfare line counters. I'm sure they're made outside the US, as are many reels these days. Anyone have any experience with them or offer any insights? The WAR30LWLC is capable of holding a ton of 30# line, which is what I use. Holds more than the CV-30D Okumas, according to the specs. Priced about the same as the Convectors, too. Thoughts? Thanks!

    adding a batterie

    in This Old Boat

    Posted

    I have a (2) battery system on my Islander. One is a dedicated starting battery, while the second one handles all the electronics and other miscellaneous items on the boat. I have them isolated through a heavy-duty solenoid which energizes when the main engine is running, thus charging both batteries. When I shut the main engine down, the solenoid opens, isolating both batteries and ensuring the main battery will always have enough juice to start the main engine. With the main engine off, all accessories and electronics are pulling solely off the secondary battery. I have a Group-27 for the secondary battery and it'll go a good portion of the day running the chartplotter, VHF radio, depth finder and downriggers before it shows signs it needs to be charged up.
