vetting

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!

If your looking for T70154, its $1259 at anchor express.

Which autopilot are you looking at getting? I've been shopping around so I know the prices pretty well.

So i just got a set of Daiwa Seagate LW50H reels. I am switching over from a pair of Okuma Convector 45Ds. Just wanted to go with a higher speed reel for full cores. I wanted to reuse the full core that I had on the Okuma reels - especially since its the expensive 832 suffix lead core. I went to reverse it onto one of the new reels and the mono backer was trashed after the lead core. So I'm thinking on maybe switching to braid. Was thinking 30 or 40lb high visibility power pro. I use church walleye boards and havent had to many instances of where the front clip slipped off the braid on other setups. I actually use a small spro swivel between my leadcore and backer so if it does pop, it only goes 10 feet before it hits the swivel. Actually makes it a lot easier to take the board off without loosing tension. Any comments/suggestions?

Actually people are talking about 2 different weights. One is made by a guy here on the forum. The other is made by a company named Torpedo Divers. The shape of the weights had kinda the same concept but the are shipped differently.

I ended up going with the Smiths 3-1 field sharpener. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search_catalog_command.cmd?fromProductSearch=true&item1=IK-517054 Has carbide, diamond stone, and ceramic rods. Plus hook sharpening groves on the stone and the ceramic rods. Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions.

It was the one that I was going to buy - now Im just going to go with the new one they came out with to replace the SPX-5r unit. It should be the ev-200/P70R/Sport Pilot - model number is T70159. I talked to Raymarine about the difference and they said the compass is their new technology and the course computer is updated. The wheel drive is the same between the 2 units. If you want to go with the SPX5-R, there are a few places that still have them. All of the cheaper places are sold out though which makes the new unit a lot more tempting. With a bit of searching Im sure you could still snag the SPX5-R for around $1500 if you want to go that route.

Just sent you a PM.

By the way - the tolera I mentioned is a full roller rod.

Fishing on Lake Michigan, I use the Shimano Toleras. Kinda pricy but I love them for fiesty kings and bows. If you are going with the 45D for a reel, you may want to send it into Tuna Tom for drag upgrades. I even upgraded my Daiwa 47LCAs to run wire on them - also had power handles added. With the pull of a dipsy and no stretch, you want to be able to fine tune the drag as much as possible while its in the water.

Pretty sure if you could actually find a white lighting online after this thread they would be all sold out in a few days Can you point us in the right direction of a picture of it or post one? Thanks, Mike
