5 or 6, how many do you have?

Does anyone know where I can buy blank or glow spindoctors or paddles? I would like to create my own. Justin

Do you run your mag divers shallower on the outside or deeper on the inside? I've always ran my mags at a higher setting and longer line and my standard inside of them, I'm thinking of making a switch because my inside divers never seem to go off. Justin

So would you say it's more about the rod then the wheel?

Is there a reason that people use small reels for Browns? Why don’t I just change out my leaders on my 303’s to 12lb fluorocarbon instead of buying all new set ups?

What is the difference between a 10 and 5 color besides the colors?

I’ve been shying away from long lines over the last couple after a couple of lousy summers using weighted steel and copper. Trying again this year, if you had to have two leadcore set ups what would they be? Justin

I went through a very similar process last year and ended up with a 32 Silverton Flybridge. Couple of things I’ve learned over the last 5 boats: 1. $25k boats have the same problems as $15k boat only the technology is much easier to work with on a $15k boat, usually no fuel injection or computers. My current boat is as easy to fix as a riding lawn mower 2. I get lower gph on 2 small blocks than I did I one large block, no idea why. 3. The most important thing to look for when buying a boat is how much the previous owner loved it. 4. Old boats with low hours can be a problem Hopefully this helps Justin

I also have 6 30 series on my boat, both downrigger and diver

From a depth perspective I usually will run a mag and standard at 250 feet into shore until they hit bottom. If the mag hits bottom in 80 feet of water then I’ll run 300 to get it down 100. I think people are too concerned if they are running at 80 or 85 feet. My 2 cents are it doesn’t need to be that specific.

I’m pretty sure this was made well before 2016...

Agreed

2nd the changing to fluorocarbon, also the leader seems short for a spoon. I usually run the leader a couple of feet longer than the rod.

I had a 2001150 that ran rough for a year, have you checked the exhaust sensor? I chased this around all summer until I changed a $60 part then everything was fine.

I’ll take them, pm sent
