Great for browns. I'm surprised no one told me to buy a bigger boat.. -

That's a fine rod, would like it, but I saw some reviews on a few people breaking off the tips on the dr. IM-8 graphite. The 71/2 with 6-12 would be ideal. -

Yeah, that ugly stik I think was the BWD 1131. (Which would be perfect.) There's also a 1101 8'3". Good luck finding either one. -

Looking to go shorter, fishing out of a 16 foot fish hawk, almost have to stand on the bow to net at the back end. LOL. -

Eagle claw is almost free, full bend would be fine. Ugly stik has the tiger and big water. Maybe try to find an older one. But looking for sooner than later. -
Just looking for someone's opinion on a light action downrigger rod for Keuka Lake. I troll there a few times a year for trout and currently I'm using a 9 foot, med-light (10-20 lb.) ugly stick. Mostly with just a spoon of the DR. As some know, the trout there are on average, 18-22 inch cigars, with a few larger at times. The rod I use just isn't right for those small trout. I was thinking of something in a lighter action of maybe 71/2 or 8 foot. ( I want to feel a little fight) I thought of a Kokanee rod, but I think they're to light. So, something just a tad heavier than that. Not looking for anything over $75.00. Any thoughts.

Can you send me a some pics please. -
I have a 2014 Crestliner Fish hawk, 16 foot side console. I'm looking for some ideas on how to support the cover on the ends and side opposite the console. At the current time, I am using the travel cover with the poles as the support for my cover. This is really killing it, they're expensive and I need to get it down. Any pics, ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Ordered some marine grade wire. That stuff is expensive. No connectors, soldering all points.

Nice chart. I was going to do 10awg, but I think I am going to do 12. Only going less than 4 feet, more like maybe 3.

Did you use an inline fuse. My shortest run is only about 4 feet.

I need to revive this topic. Unreel, are you stating 10awg from the DR motor or battery to plug? The reason I'm asking is because I came across an older (but new in box) Big Jon electric I want to install and it has a lighter socket type plug on the end. I know that wire is not 10awg, maybe 14 or even 16. I am thinking of running 10awg from my starting battery (fused-20amp) to a lighter type socket but leaving my DR wiring alone. Anyone else who has thoughts on this are welcome to join in.

I was given a new, but older Big Jon electric downrigger from a friend. I want to mount it on a swivel base but there is a small problem, the swivel would be a 4x4, the base on the rigger is 5x2. Like I said, older style. I'm hoping someone knows what I mean by that and might have an idea as to an adapter plate for it.

I fish mostly on Keuka Lake. I do not have riggers as of yet, so I use weights to troll with. I wanted to try my hand with lead this year. As of reels, I have two Penn GTi 320's. I can also pick up two Sealine Great Lakes 47 LC's for 42.00 delivered. These are in excellent condition. The lake is deep, so most likely I'll need a bunch of lead. So any preference on those two reels.

I have two boats that I leave out during the winter months. I usually take the tires off the trailers for the Winter, but this is getting old and so am I. The trailer tires set on concrete during this time. Other than moving South, does anyone use some type of spray on them for the Winter and if so, what would be the best brand.
