i tie to the swivel that comes with the spin doctor . when i want to change spin doc just remove from old and on to new . in my mind why have two ball bearing swivel back to back .

Thanks guys , they had a set of shoulders today , had two snap 15 lb leaders on the hits even with drags set right . Rig rods never know how it going to go . Sent from my XT1609 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

the boat trolling boards next to shore i would say didn't even notices you till he was all ready on top of your line leaving no time to react to make a move to a void your line way out of the dock or shore in this case you seen him coming before he seen you think you could have pull in your line then put it back out after passing . for a boat speeding close to shore i can see you being piss off . not sure off the feet from shore a boat has to be to speed to be legal thinking 500 feet. some boaters are unruly and unsafe . i think i would have still pulled in the line to a void losing it and made sure he knew he was number 1

i have an 8 hp tohatsu with electric start .run very quiet and charges batteries fine i ck the status of how many volts often when i first got it . at 13.5 to 14 volts at lake trout speed 1 .2 to 1.8

Todd if u can't find use parts or would like new EsgDirect.com has the parts u are looking for ...

i can't say for lake Ontario what works best . i don't target lakers when i there . on the finger lakes i prefer the 4/0 over the 5/0 . i do run both and have better luck with the 4/0. with Gambler rigs .

my buddies and I splash their 221 starcraft islander today . last time it was out last year at the lou all in the boat had some running issues . after a little winter TLC happy to say the boat ran perfect today . so we fished 7 to 10 am . the temp was 36 degrees . we set up with two seth green rods with suttons spoons . targeting lakers we found them deep as they seem still wintered up . we did 11 fish with having a triple and a double rest singles . we did drop a couple at the boat getting the fish in with out a net. we consider then caught any ways as we were catch and release , witch was a good thing for the fish we didn't handle them and for us the water and wind was cold . was super great to be out on the boat again and hope winter doesn't show her ugly face again till next January ....
