Are you willing to ship to PA?

Condition of rod holder and extension size. 

Those are great reels. I have one and had beat the crap out of it and it still keeps on going. Wish I had more.

Pick up two spools of 30 lb for $9.00 a piece and wrapped it on. Can't wait to try it. Thanks for all the input.

Going to try it, just need to decide on 30 or 40 pound.

I have a newer crestliner fish hawk 1600and I use two 18" bags in the middle and get down to 1.5 mph.Sometimes lower, depends on the weather.  Around 2.4 without them. Two 22" bags should do you good.

Tim, I have the carpeting bunks on the trailer and I HAD carpet guides on the side. Took off the sides because they had the lite duty U bolt system on them and kept moving until they finally broke. I installed a pair of Cabela's deluxe roller guide ons and would never install any other brand. They are tank solid!!! I haven't had any problem with rubber marks on the either. Keep them close and you are even fight up.

Well, I picked up 2 Daiwa sealine 27lc's and will use them for lake trout on Keuka Lake. Trolling with a 0 dipsy and the rest. I want to put on some braid, so I know of the top brands, but was wondering if anyone ever heard of or used Mustad Thor. I don't want to waste 300 yards on the reel and not sure if 150 would be enough. The Mustad comes in a spool of 200 yards, which would be plenty. 30 or 40 pound, not sure yet, but they are only $9.99 locally.  Just wondering.

You can tell, just by the moisture in your cuts. I use one as well, otherwise you would have to steam it for about 3 hours.

Just made two hind quarters worth at the end of the season

Just how I do my roast. Do you use a water bath in your smoker?

I would make a respectable offer of $32.00 shipped, if you accept PayPal for:

Four #0's - Green, pink, blue and silver with rings.

Two minis - both purple.

I'll take diver rods if any left.

Are you splitting lots?

That's some good info Laker, thanks. Pap, looking into some of those spin and glows from the Gambler site.

Thanks for the replies. Need to decide what to do or just use braid for now and run only a spoon with my #0 or stick to my tadpole. Problem is too many fishing hobbies. Buying a new surf setup first. $$$.

I run Blood Run 30# sea Flea with a 30# PP backer

How much blood run are you using?

I'm usually not in more than 80 to 100 feet of water, but not fishing that deep. (Maybe 40 to 60).

Looking for some info on what I can run off the back of dipsy divers. I am using 9 foot ugly sticks, med/light with Penn 320gt's load with 17lb mono. I do use these trolling for Lake trout on Keuka Lake. I currently use off-shore tadpoles with either just a spoon, a spoon behind a small cowbell or a small dodger and spoon. I recently got some size 3/0 and 0 dipsy divers and would like to know if I can run the dodgers and cowbells off them. And do I require a shocker if so.

Thanks.

Gotta make more

It is great. A perfect way to use venison. I use the front shoulder as well. Roll it up tight and put it in netting. Stays together very well when cured.

Put it in the smoker and you won't be disappointed.

I use iron out. Fiberglass hull. Spray it on with pump sprayer and then rinse with fresh water and good as new. Give it a shot. First time I saw it used I couldn't believe the results. I also use it on a aluminum hull tracker.  

I use someone else's boat, keeps mine clean.

Advice is usually worth what you pay for it. Longer rods would give you more spread, braid more depth (which you don't need in your situation). You'll be fine!

Oh for sure, I definetly believe that if I'm using larger divers for deeper depths, the appropriate rod set up would make sense.

I was told this would not be effective and need to know why. I fish Oneida lake on occasion for Walleye and usually drift jigs or troll with deep cranks or a harness. Most fish I catch are not what you will catch elswhere, but that's ok, it's only to get out for a while.

The setup I use for trolling is a St Croix 6'6" med / heavy fast action casting style rod. On it is an Abu Garcia 5600c round reel spooled with 14lb mono. This setup works well for me, but now I want to try this with a mini dipsy diver (2 1/4") and a big jon mini. These are a light and very small diver. I troll with bags and usually get down to 1.5 mph. So, if I have luck with bouncers and a harness on this setup, why am I being told it won't work with divers, that I need an 8 to 10 foot rod and my reel spooled with braid.

Really, to run mini divers in 20 feet of water for a 2 1/2 pound fish? Any thoughts?
