    Best releases?

    in Tackle Description

    Posted · Edited by Willy-C

    I started out in the late 80's with Roemer releases.....I did OK but had troubles with them hanging up or getting tangled and not releasing and gave them up.

    then got comfortable with the offshore pinch pads till last year when the faster Lake-O trolling was hard to keep them on without setting them off accidently

    Now I have new chamberlains to try out this weekend :)

    Lets see your Riggs.....

    You guys are killing me.......just finished all ten pages....Awesome looking rigs

     

    OK I'll play.......Not much else happening till the thaw arrives :yawn:

     

    Here's my multi-purpose fishing tub. It loves to fish in the ocean as well as dragging junk in sweet water. Lake-O has been the latest belly washer so here's a few pix

    Cannon mag 10 bases issues

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I hung up a 15# shark weight in Lake Champlain on something 60 feet down in 80 feet of water!!! Had my clutch set a little to tight and before I could react the STX and 2 rods, 2 rod holders, 2 Chamberlain releases and other associated gear

    Was ripped out of the base. This happened at 0430. I spent an hour jigging my anchor hoping to snag the cable. No luck of course!! By 0630 I was back on the trailer headed for home. About $800 to replace all the last gear! It sucked!

    Adk,

    I have one of those hydrafoil thingys on mine and it seems to work good....the boat came with it but don't know why they put it on

    I meant to comment on a previous thread about your sandbag idea:

    Would a water tank (18-20 gal) mounted near the bow, with a livewell pump and ball valve (to drain) work the same as sandbags?

    I was thinking about this cuz you could fill the tank with 150# of ballast with the flick of a switch or drain it if the conditions exist on a flat lake......your boat would be lighter to trailer around too after the drain is opened
