Agree 100%. Lazy way of acquiring fish that takes its toll on fisheries.

They aren't sport fishing, they're fishing for food. I know this is a tough concept for you to understand but in some places they don't have grocery stores right down the street or in some cases people just don't have the money to travel to the grocery store and buy meat. I guess when you've never experienced places like that you wouldn't understand

Probably $25-30 each combo would be fair, they're low quality entry level set ups that probably don't cost $60 new

Throwing a net in water and waiting for it to fill up, is not fishing. Not even a comparison.

It's definitely still fishing 

Good guy to deal with, the stuff I bought off him was in great condition and came very fast. If I needed more tackle I'd buy these in a heartbeat

Mike, the reason to use a fixed stacker on a downrigger cable is for #1...having more than just yourself on board and you can put more rods/lines in the spread than three.
#2...you want to use an "SWR" style of rig, refered to here as a Secret Weapon Rig style of presentation. My preference as a stacker, is to call it a "tailgunner". The SWR is similar only it involves directly attaching a main line copper or lead core to the ball and running the ball higher in the water column out of the detection of fish in a desired temperature zone. The lure on the heavy wire then follows up later in the desired temperature zone deeper, and a fish will not be spooked by a ball and only see the lure quietly passing by. In the same context, the tailgunner does the same except it relies on active fish that are not ball shy and offers the second chance hookup on the second rod stacked 20 feet above the ball for a 100 foot copper.
Other than that, there is no real advantage of stacking on a downrigger over the use of a fixed slider, in my opinion. The fixed slider will effectively give you 2 lures per rod, per person, vs. 1 lure per rod as in stacked.
The disadvantage of a slider is not having an accurate depth control and the possibility of a swivel breaking on a fish wrenching the swivel against the terminal of the main lure, or the poor hook up from the belly of the main line as in the free slider version. The fixed slider is a little better in the hookup respect as well as more accurate depth control. I like to pin my fixed slider on the rigger cable about 8 to 10 feet above the main line on the ball. Known here as a "Mupp Rig". Very good presentation I might add. It involves 2 lures of the same design and action, the pinned cheater lure is bigger and slightly more flashy. The lower lure on the main line is the target smaller lure.
In the end a stacker will only be of most value when you have enough bodies on board to use more rods. But even still in my opinion it is better to be wider and longer to get separation of baits and use dipsey or torpedoes, and heavy wires to achieve that, rather than stack into a narrow trolling pattern on the downriggers.

So how do you prevent the tangles if a fish bites the bottom shorter one? Every time I ran my top line longer than my bottom I ended up with a mess

They sold

It's a little bit of a drive but I stay at the thousand islands winery when I go up north ice fishing, they rent out doublewides that are pretty nice for reasonable rates

What a bargain I bet those sell fast

I redid the transom on an 88 phantom . all the reseach I did said to use marine grade plywood (not pressure treated) and not to seal. I can't remember exactly how thick it was but I had to get various thicknesses of plywood and glue and screwed them together. Then I cut it out as one piece.

I did it on my islander last spring, it's 2 3/4" pieces and where the motor connects to the outdrive it gets an additional 1/2" piece of wood. Also I just gave my transom board several coats of oil based paint and left no wood raw, oh and I pre drilled every penetration and loaded the hole with silicone (I think it was 3 tubes)

How much for the gps I need one 

I'd drive to the west end and catch kings

Payment sent, thanks 

I hope this doesn't pass

They're 70-80 and you can find them anywhere online 

Looking to buy an 8" special mate spoon box, I figured I'd try here first before buying a new one

Have you ever thought about making one of those go fund me pages? I'm not sure if it costs a lot to do but it makes it easy to donate, that or maybe make a PayPal account we could donate to

Gone to eBay 

What's everyone use to store their spoons in? It seems like special mate is my only option?

2 rapala x rap magnums $30

2 rapala x rap magnums, one 20' one 30', both new in the box $30 obo shipping included

It still baffles me on who caught up the Lake Michigan boats are on dodgers and spin n glos.  If they only knew how much more effective cowbells and spin n glos are.  Instead of dedicating one rod of a king spread, they could pend one hour with two cowbells down and catch more lakers late day when the king bite slows. 

That's what I did last year, fish kings till the last 2 hours and then send down 2 sets of cowbells with your rigs and drop the dipsys down deep with spin dr and fly and slay the lakers

I'll take lot 2 pm sent

Sold pending funds

Start at $30 shipped?????

If you need one, I think I have one sitting around you can have.  Let me check when I get home tonight and I will let you know tomorrow. 

Thanks Brian, they're the heavy duty ratcheting diver holders, not sure if it makes a difference for the base plate. If you find it let me know I'll buy it
