Is it true that the Dragonfly has no outputs at all so you cant interface it with a autopilot?

I would go with 2 batteries to be on the safe side and then have a seperate cranking battery.  Wire the 2 batteries as one and isolate the cranking battery with a battery switch.  You can start the main motor off the 2 batteries and just switch it over to the crank battery if they dont have enough juice.  To your trailer your boat or are you in a slip?

The newest Raymarine for cable steered boats is the Raymarine EV-200 Sport Pilot

Model number is Raymarine EV-200 Sport Pilot

Can be found online for around $1775

Its the one that will be going on my 25ft boat in Spring....thats if Spring ever comes.

Well if you have a actual place to mount it on your boat its nice to have tracks.  It spread the load out from the dispy rather than on a single point plus you can swap stuff in/out without making more holes in your boat.  Really depends if you have a 18ft aluminum boat or a 20+ foot fiberglass boat. 

Yeah you need to have a track system for them (even a small 12" section) and metal rod holders.  Other was big king equals bye bye rod and rod holder. 

What type or rod are you using for it?

Also, put a large bead (larger than the rod tip) or 2 before you swivel that connects the wire to your leader.  This is so you can store the rod with the line pulled somewhat tight.  You dant want to store it with the wire bent over the last guide/roller.  This will also prevent someone from reeling the swivel into the guide/roller when fighting a fish.

Lastly, if you kink it you have to cut it.  Leaving a bad kink or frayed line (even if one or two stands) means you can lose a big fish and an expensive dispsy, flasher, and fly....dont ask me how I know

SOLD!

What kinda line are you using them for.  Might be cheaper and a better option to go with the new Diawa Seagate Levelwinds.

Yes I can take paypal but the lot is currently pending sale to a buddy of Justin B.

I'll let you know if the deal falls through.

The cold weather shouldnt have any impact on bait.  The water isnt really colder than normal when you are talking about where the bait fish hide out in the winter.  Its just a matter if we have a normal Spring this year and no unseasonable cold snaps that messes with the bait migrations/spawning. 

Im no expert - but just my thoughts on the matter.

Price lowered to $130 shipped.

I purchased a huge lot of flashers from a charter captain.   I kept a few and the rest are up for sale.  I replaced the tape on a lot of them with high quality flasher tape.  These are all no-fin flashers.  I prefer to run this style since they can change direction, or so I've heard.  Between the price I paid for them and the cost of the custom cut tape, I'm just looking to get my money out of them to put into more gear.  There is a mix of Oki Tackle Lil Shooters, Hot Spots, Coyotes - some are unmarked but they have the same blank shape as Hot Spots.  Most retail for $10 to $12 each and that doesnt include some of the expensive tape that I added.  Some of the flashers will need a cross-lock swivel on the back end.

The UV has the benefit of being able to shine up the blue and purple glow spoons.  I know with the box that I made, the greens glow for over an hour and its the only good way at night to glow up the blue and purple spoons.  I just throw 10 spoons in the box at once and then glow them up for 5-10 min.  If they are fading after only 10-15 min, then they arent the greatest of glow spoons.

Im leaning towards the same one with the sport drive.  Any one have one with the sport/wheel drive?

Both sets of walleye boards are sold.  I lowered the price on the tx22.

Pending payment on the walleye boards.  The TX-22 is still up for sale.

Set of 2 - port and starboard Church Tackle Walleye Boards.  I used the same type of board to pull anything from a flat line up to a 10 color.  This set has the rounded top fin but they track the same as the triangle top fin style.

Price: $38 shipped ************SOLD****************

Still trying to decide between sharks, Torpedo Diver torpedos, and Atomic torpedos.

What size and color sharks is everyone running?  Do you think that the sharks actually work as an attractor?

Sounds like a great idea. A salmon that is immediately killed and bled tastes better. You could even spike them right in the net before they do their death roll with hooks flying and prevent net tangles and hooks in the hand.

I have the same motor setup and was wondering the same thing for when I eventually get a kicker. Problem is that there is nothing to spin the pump. Wonder if a octopuses remote drive is the way to go.

Had a buddy drop a brand new Samsung Galaxy phone down the hole this year.  Fell out of the front pocket of his jacket, bounced on the ice a few times, and then found its way right down the hole.  Good buy $600 phone!
