Now that you mention it, I think I ordered the copper mirror instead of the amber.

Yeah. Same lenses. Amber polarchromic/polarized. The website is not 100% clear about whether the 'chromics are polarized too. I called them, and they are.

Don't forget Smith Optics. They have glass lenses as well as a huge selection of polycarb lenses. Lifetime warranty to boot. The Backdrop, Chief and Touchstone are all designed with marine in mind. I just ordered the Backdrop with polarchromic polarized lenses. Can't wait.

While I agree with everyone's recommendation of Maui's, Costa's, etc. Also take a look at the models LLBean has to offer. They have pretty decent polarized stuff for a reasonable price, plus their warranty. I too am looking for some glass lens polarized shades. Leaning towards some Costa's from an online store with sick deals. PM me if you want more info on that site.

See y'all out there. I am hitting it both days as well. Oh, and don't forget the Henderson Classic is this weekend. Gonna be busy.

Chas, What if you took a drill bit that is slightly larger than the bolts used to hold the launchers in place, and drill a detent in the cross piece? Not all the way through, just a divot in which your bolt will rest in when tightened. I am thinking a bit that only has the beveled tip, not the ones with the starter point. IDK. Just a thought. Maybe you don't want to take a drill to your brand new GLP gear though.

Thanks. Matt

Chas, How are the LED lights working out? I am thinking of going the same route. How did you mount them to your rod holder mast?

I fished 7 hours yesterday, 7 hours today in Chaumont and Black River bays. Sticks, a rigger with sticks, boards, no boards, slow, fast, every color of the spectrum, shallow, deep, with the wind, against the wind, straight, zig-zag and not one Eye to show for it all. I am thinking the current moon phase has them feeding at night and lazing during the day.

I fished 6:30-12:00 and boated one small northern. I talked to a buddy that took five walleye, with most being in the afternoon. All on sticks on boards.

Any idea of dimensions? Height? Width?

Whiskey Tango.

Last week there was still some thin ice on Chaumont and Guffins bays. With the wind, rain and intermittent sun we've had up here, we should be good to go for 5/2.

Good deal right here. If I hadn't just bought one, I'd be all over this.

New price. $12000

I am doing the very same thing to my Trophy 2002 WA. I am putting a '98 Johnson 9.9 with controls on a Garelick bracket. I decided on model # 71056, from Amazon of all places. It is stainless, is rated to 115 lbs and has the adjustable transom angle. It is not meant to be removable, but I don't think I will be removing the motor anyway. I noticed while researching these things that all of the heavier rated mounts have wider bases and hinges. I liked this build due to the twisting and side to side loading it will endure while trolling. I have one of the lighter rated kicker brackets mounted to my work bench to work on outboards. My 9.9 drops that thing to the floor if released, and the long shaft affords a ton of leverage to twist and torque that bracket way more than I would like to see in a marine setting.

Moving up to the top. I got my eyes on another rig. Make an offer. PM me or call me.

Yup, saw that after I looked back at your original post. Sorry.
