I know that everyone mentions the V pattern when setting their lines. However, since you run longer leadcore closer to the boat, isnt that the opposite? Should I be put the shorter leadcores out with more backer to make it into a true V pattern?
Just do it right and get some metal ratcheting rod holders. I personally run berts on my boat with a 24" track. Might be expensive at first, but better than losing a wire rod in the drink.
Mine always says....hey, the water is right there and its April 1st. Why are you ripping me apart again?

I decided to add a new Raymarine dragonfly 5 pro to my setup. I currently have a A77 so I'll have normal sonar and then dual chirp with the Dragonfly. The cool part is that the Dragonfly has wifi so you can put the dual chirp up on a big tablet.
I just picked up 2 of the 30 series batteries cabelas batteries. They are the ones I picked after about a week of research. I havent put them to the test yet, but by the specs they are the best out there for the money.
Time to pick out some new leaders and swivels to use with my 10 leadcore rods.
Usually when people post things, they only just say use this and that but dont really post the exact make/model/part number.
Post what you use and please post part numbers or links if you can. That will help me out and others who are looking for the correct gear.
For leader material (usually a 20ft leader on leadcore) I've been using Seaguar STS in 20 and 25lb

For swivels, I've been using Sampo CoastLocks, but Ive heard that its better to use something with a wider end for better movement of the spoon. Any suggestions?

Do you currently have soft or hard ablative paint or something else. Do you leave the boat in the water all year?
If its just a new coat and you already know what you have on there, its really easy to do and you shouldnt bother with paying someone to do it.
Thought it might be fun and informative to see how baits are running at certain speeds and maybe catch video of a fish crushing a bait.

We have a crap ton of gobies on the Wisconsin side of the lake. We also actually have normal bait on our side. We actually catch a fair share of naturals on our side that come from the Michigan side - we really dont have any natural reproduction on our side of the lake.

At one point during a week long tourney last year we were averaging at least 4 lakers a trip that were 15 lbs or over. Of course a 6 year old kid won the whole darn thing ($20k) with 25.58 laker on the last day that had swallowed a smaller laker.....
Just started looking for kickers after having to have a tow in once and a limp in last year. 25 Cobia cuddy cabin - around 5000 lbs I think. Any recommendations for kicker size?
