  1. It does bleed a lot at first but works great. I have not had any break issues and I have it on 8 different reels Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  2. They had rebates on the Yamaha's when I bought mine so I went with F200. If you are fishing Erie or Ontario i would have them replace the 60" shaft with the 72" right now. My dealer shipped me the 72" shaft and I swapped them out and sent back the 60. I have had the 72" shaft come out of the water on occasion. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  3. I have 2 lowrance hds units on my boat. One is mounted on the dash and the other is mounted near the back of the boat, connected by an ethernet cable, so that they can share waypoints and transducers. The front unit is usually on the chart screen for navigation and the rear is on the regular fish finder screen. They both have their own transducer but are set up to run off of the same transducer. The second transducer is on there as a backup in case I have an issue with the first one. I like to have backups for everything. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  4. The rod with the splice of mono is only so I can use it on an inline. Its backed with 19 strand so that I can run it as a chute rod if I choose to and also serves as a backup to the other rod without the splice. If it was only going to be used on a board I would have used a braid backer. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  5. Song dog, when you speak to him ask if he could take a picture or upload a video of the setup with the rubberband to his website like he has with his other products. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  6. I asked them the same question last year and got the same response. Like you, I was also looking to see if anyone had actually tried the setup but have not heard anyone that actually has. The only reponses I got were people telling me it wouldn't work. I tried copper once and didn't like it, especially with newbies on the boat. I tried the steel and it is much easier to use and works well. I totally understand the reasoning of the guys that have already invested in and know how to run copper, I would not make switch either.

  7. I have two 200' weighted steel setups backed with 19 strand. One of the setups I spliced in a 5' section of 40lb mono in between the steel and 19 strand so that I could clip on an inline board. The other setup is the same minus the mono section which I run down the chute . Both work well and both catch fish. I primarily fish on Erie for eyes and the chute rod works great when the eyes are deep. 2 years ago I ran that chute rod out 450ft on the line counter and was picking up eyes that were down around 70ft. I had my riggers, dipseys and chute rod all in the same zone and they were all firing so I am assuming the steel was at or near the same depth of everything else.

  8. I think the OP and I are talking about the unique situation with us using specifically 19 strand wire for backing and not braid to take advantage of the sink rate of the weighted steel. I currently have a splice of 50 lb mono between my weighted steel and wire backer to clip the board to but then I lose the benefit of letting out more backer to have the 200 steel run deeper. Has anyone tried using a rubber band on 19 strand wire to clip into the offshore release? I'm thinking that the 19 strand will kink in either case whether you put it in the release itself or try to use a rubber band to clip in the release, hoping someone has already tried it.

  9. You are using inlines correct? I have offshore boards with the or 18 release on the front but I'm sure the 19 strand will still slip through and kink even with the upgraded release. So if I'm understanding correctly the wire backer is sitting just outside the release jaws and only the rubber band is being pinched? Thanks.

  10. The 5' per color sink rate is correct for around 2.0 mph. At 2.5 mph the sink rate is less, around 37 ft deep for 10 color if I remember correctly. Some guys will add a 2oz snap weight on the 5 color to get it deeper with more backing out. I'm sure the 5 color would sink a little deeper with just more backing out but it wont keep the same sink rate as plain lead core and you would just be guessing at what depth it would be running at. I usually replace my leadcore every 3 years. I use it a lot on Erie for walleye. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  11. Make sure you get a 72" shaft on your trolling motor. Don't even consider the 60" shaft, I have had the 72" come out of the water on occasion. My dealer installed the 60" on the boat and I didn't realize it until I drove back home almost 5 hours away. They mailed me the correct motor and I sent the other back.

  12. I have the 18 pitch yamaha reliance series prop on mine. It tops out at 50mph with 2 guys and full tank of gas, hole shot is great. I bought a 17 pitch reliance as a backup and I lose about 3 mph on the top end with that prop and the hole shot is marginally better. The 18 pitch maxes out rpms at wide open throttle and has a great hole shot so that is what I use. The boat should come pre wired for the trolling motor. The batteries are mounted in the compartment that is furthest forward on the floor in front of the livewell. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  13. You can just buy a small 12v battery that they sell at the box stores and run it off that. Same batteries are used to run electronics when ice fishing, they cost around 20.00. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  14. I have done well in 30 to 50 ft through the end of may. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  15. Same year and color as mine but I went the yamaha F200 and 9.9. Tops out at 50 with two guys and full load and 45 - 46 with 4 guys on a flat lake. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  16. I would highly suggest buying one with at least a 150hp motor on it if you are going to fish with more than 2 guys. I personally know someone that had to upgrade to a 150 after being sold the boat with a 115 Mercury on it from the dealer, it was a dog with a full load.

  17. Smokeless muzzleloader is the way to go. I bought a savage model 10ML II 20 years ago when they first came out. Shoots as good as a rifle with hardly any kick at all. I shoot 43 grains of powder with a muzzle velocity of 2100 fps. They dont make them anymore last I heard. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  18. FYI, Ridgid has lifetime replacement warranty on tools and batteries if you register them online. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  19. What he said. I doubt you will find a more accurate slug gun once u find out what slugs it likes. Accu tips are another good option for slugs with this gun.
  20. What are you using to send the probe down in the water? Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  21. Shot this 10 pt yesterday afternoon Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  22. You should get back about half or a little less of a deer dressed weight back in boned out meat. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
  23. Do you have a link to the generator you bought from amazon? Thanks
  24. I will take one if you do PayPal. Send me your payment info. Sent from my SM-G930V using Lake Ontario United mobile app
