Once the water temp goes to about 60 or less they will dissipate. A few more cool nights.....

Ditto. Everyone's financial situation is different and many folks have spent thousand after thousand slowly over time but here is a chance for someone to get into the trolling game in one bundle and for a very reasonable amount of money considering the selection of things included. When you contrast this with what it would cost new it becomes very clear that it is a good deal though maybe not be possible for everyone but that is true of many things in life. Best of luck with the sale!

It is coming soon to a location near you Jim

Will do thanks Ted. Anthony. The leaders have spring clips (homemade) at the end which snap to the bead chains so it is just a matter of setting the rod in the holder while I hand line the leaders in. It can be a bit hectic when either 2 fish are on one rig or there are fish on two rigs at once Usually I run three rigs even solo. I use 40 ounce weights that I get from Troutman87 (Harvey) and they work great. I coat them with Plastidip to minimize lead contact and prevent boat scratches.

Hard to tell if it was a "one of" or not. By the way for rig fanciers I don't run my rods in the rigger holder it was just there while I was cleaning the fleas

Greenhornet there used to be Walleyes in here a long time ago but for many years I never heard of any being caught until recently when a friend who is a guide out here caught a good one in his boat. the thinking is that it may have been introduced into the lake from elsewhere.

Well I was solo remember....I did start taking pics with my phone and almost dropped it in the water and that ended that. The ones I took weren't great either but i'll post the ones I took. All fish were released in the water by the way. These are the least blurry

A lot of companies use the same blank manufacturer and some have their name stamped on them but blanks tend to be the same dimensions and component materials.

Cool Mike. I used to get a lot of those Sheepshead at Mays Point in the old days on those spinning rods with 6 lb test seemed like forever getting them in

Decided to go solo about 8am after rainbows. launched at north end and set up near the pump station on west side. It was pretty breezy so I decided to run just two five leader Seth Green rigs to try out some small Elmer Hinckley spoons I recently received instead of the usual three rigs.. Trolled to just south of Menteth Point and had first hit and run that took out drag but gone when I got to the rod. Checked temps with the X4D. 71.8 surface and 54 degrees at 62 feet. I had set up both rods with the new #87 spoons in gold, hammered gold, hammered silver and plain silver. I was trolling in 200-220 ft of water and varying speeds but 1.9-2.1 at ball seemed best for these particular spoons. I started getting hammered by 2-3 lb bows and went 9 for 12 on them (all released unharmed). No real big ones but it was a lot of fun with the jumpers etc. Very strong year class apparently and good sized school of them there. I worked it until about 2PM when the wind started making things less fun. The fleas were horrible even some on the probe rigger wire. and they were the fishhook variety so not easy to get off either. Saw a few other boats working the general area but didn't see whether they did anything.

Nice looking rig John. Best of luck with the coaching!

Ditto Anthony. You have come a long way in your fishing in a relatively short time

Best of luck with it Rick! Going to be fun to rig

Some great eaters right there

Yep and here are some other examples

Think I'm going to hold on to it for now thanks.
