  1. I started to hate owners cause of bending/loss of fish. but then i started using snubbers and I have not bent a hook since. snubbers have actually increased our landing ratio. never bent an owner on the rigger rods....
  2. my cannons are a few years old and they have the old style pulley. i have experienced the jumping each year. so they will send new pulleys if I call and complain?
  3. i think my sharks came today. too bad i cant remove them from the mailbox to check them out...
  4. long shank tho?
  5. whys that? cause they'll look like other salmon?
  6. location?
  7. when do u update the angler count on the winter classic page?
  8. agree, blue spoons and flashers don't work for me. but hammer flies do
  9. yup that worked thanks
  10. am i looking at the wrong webpage? http://www.nyswinterclassic.com/2015-leader-board.html there are no fish entered
  11. when does the leaderboard get updated?
  12. anyone know what size the albino frog is being held on the home page? 8" or a 10"?
  13. this is a little off topic but we had a few of those tangles last year and i was able to salvage the ATOMMIK copper but not the wire. so when i got home i put all the remaining wire (700 ft or so) on an empty reel (same model) and then filled the remainder with braid. wire connected to braid with improved albright knot. when the reel is just about full of braid I albright knotted a little mono to it. Now you have a reel filled to capacity spooled backwards. Tie the mono to the spool of the empty reel to prevent slippage and start cranking. Make sure the drag is on just tight enough so it feeds off with pressure on it and respools tightly, clickers on. A lot of work and your arm will be cramped to he!l from reeling 1000+ ft on each reel, but better than dumping 30-40 bucks on new wire. I have not been taken out to the braid backing ever but I have faith that the albright knot will hold.
  14. x2 these riggers bounce like mad
  15. Got the reels back a few days ago, cost $25 a pop and $6.99 return shipping. They are looking brand new. Complete rebuilds
  16. I sent a CV30D and a CV55L to Tuna Tom's today for repairs. Gotta pay shipping both ways and then price of repair. But figure it will be a lot cheaper than buying 2 new reels. Shipping out was $10.15 (cheapest) at post office.
  17. my buddy has one that is just trashed but that thing produces. it even went to alaska and came back. its beat! only seen the gator crush in yellow, do they have a green one also?
  18. ran a lot of the same spoons as most people here. standout spoon for us was UV gator stingray on leadcore in the spring and copper in the summer but it shut down after July. I must be one of the few boats that didn't land a single fish on SSW or 42nd spoons. or carmel dolphin
  19. sold pending payment
  20. 2 used slide divers. One with the mag kit already installed, one mag kit new. Asking $25
  21. pm sent on spoons/divers
