    I live on Chautauqua Lake. I do get to Rochester and Buffalo fairly often. Also could check shipping prices. Few months ago I shipped an electric rigger out of state for less than $25 for example.

    Have one Cannon Unitroll 6 Manual Short Arm Rigger and Mounting Block for $90.00. Rigger is in good shape and has all metal body. Also have a NIB Midland Power Max VHF Model 78-100 for $30.00. Not sure how old this radio is but it's old enough it's not DSC. Has manual and instructions. Any shipping on either item would be buyers expense.

    Suggest you discuss with your dealer and/or Evinude's "enation" site using XD100 on the XD50 setting. IMO you would see little change as you are still at same fuel oil ratio. I had my ETEC set at delivery on the XD100 program so it has been on that oil for all hours including break in. I have a kicker so my ETEC is just used for running. For my application I've not had any plug issue's or smoking. By having the leaner mixture with XD100 computer setting the lower oil consumption makes up for the higher price of synthetic XD100 to me. Also doesn't bother me that XD100 is the only oil I can run as I usually use factory oils in my outboards anyway. Oil consumption hasn't been any issue for me either.

    Have been running a 25 Walk since 2008 and to me handles Lake O fine. After riding in my Proline a buddy got a 19CC for Lake Erie and a 21CC for Florida. His 21 rides nice and dry. My 25 has an outboard on a bracket so whole back of the boat is wide open.

    A few years ago I picked up a couple of Brads on a trip to West Coast. I ran them a few times with garlic flavored tuna in the cavity. If I remember correctly I caught a couple fish with them but got kind of messy with the tuna. I wasn't impressed with the piece of foam for herring oil that comes with them. To me I had other options that worked better with less mess so I haven't used them recently. That style bait is pretty common out west.

    I run slide divers on both braid and wire by putting a leader of 30lb mono for the SD to slide on. SD grips the mono good and is easy to change out when it wears. Makes it easier to break down 10 foot wire dipsey rods by having mono at the end vs the wire. When fleas are bad I just use wire.

    I've seen a number of posts regarding running over 10lb weights on older Cannon Mag 10's. Here's what happened to me. I ran Mag 10A's for 20+ years with 10lb's and in 2008 went with a Depth Raider with 13lb weight on the probe. For first year or two no issues everything was fine. I was working then so just fished weekends. Late in the season in prime king time that rigger started to catch when it came up. Then finally it failed in the middle of a trip where it wouldn't go up and free spooled down. I finished trip by wedging a screwdriver in it to keep it in place. I couldn't find any broken shafts or keyways when I took rigger apart. The motor is a sealed unit with a right angle drive on the end. I opened motor up and found problem in the right angle drive- three white plastic pucks in the housing had disintegrated. Parts for those old Mag10A's are tough to find- I couldn't find a complete motor or any of the pucks so that rigger was finished. My advice with the older 10A's-stay with a 10lb weight limit or be prepared to be looking for a rigger. Since then I've updated to all high speed and 20lb weight capacity. Sharing to save some headaches for guys running older stuff on a budget.

    Reels are sold pending payment.
  9. mr 580
    The reels are still available. If someone wanted all four @ $190 I would include shipping in US at no charge. Also I will be in Niagara Falls for LOTSA Seminar and Show on 1/23 and 1/24 and if someone picked them up there from me I'd let them go for $175. These Great Lakes LC's are 5.2 to 1 high speed with carbon fiber drags. Only reason I'm selling is that I'm updating to some larger capacity reels.

    I also use Amish Outfitters spectra-has worked well for me.

    Selling four Daiwa Great Lakes 47 Linecounters- all good condition with Dragmaster Carbon Fiber drags from Tuna's Reel Troubles. I have used mostly with short cores and as board reels. Price $55 per reel or $190 for all four reels. Shipping additional. Also have one Cannon Unitroll 6 Manual Rigger with short boom and rear rod holder. This rigger has a metal body and a metal mounting block. In good condition. Price $100. Shipping additional.

    Saltist 30 for wire divers-smooth drags and like the high speed. Plenty of capacity for diver. Had zero problems with them over several years.

    Image 1 and 2 look like a Mag 10A and Image 3 of a Mag 10. The Mag 10A is an older model than the Mag 10. The Mag 10A's probably go back to the mid 80's. Guys are correct about Fish 307 having parts. Their website is good with schematics for all the models including these pre 2006 ones. Important to be sure on what you need as no returns on electrical stuff. Call them if you have questions-they have always been helpful to me when I've called.

    Mag 10 is sold pending payment. Unitroll 6 is available.

    Has been a mag spoon bite for me-green has been key color-NBK,SSW,42nd all have worked. To get diver bites using slide divers with 20 foot leads to mag spoon. Been running mags high also and getting hits.

    Get some spoons larger than what you'd generally run on Erie plus some flasher fly combo's. Spool on some flea line and make sure drags are smooth. If you have at least 10lb weights you should be OK as you need to run faster and probably deeper than your accustomed to on Erie. Keep your spread basic to start with fewer rods than you might put out for an Erie spread. Have fun.
  23. mr 580
    Try the Marinetech website under EZ steer parts- looked like both of the ends(inner or outer) were listed at $26 per end. Hope they can fix you up.

    Using the Scotty sleeve on my depth raider - put wire on end where spring had broken off. Like the Scotty better than the torpedo antenna I had been using.
  25. mr 580
    Never had any issue with my Blood Run orders. I try to keep a supply of common sized line and wire on hand anyway so a extra day or two wait isn't a problem for me. Also covers me if stock gets sold out towards end of season.
