Just digging thru all my old stuff. Getting a friend's boat ready for next season. Got him totally hooked up with my old riggers and rod holders. Got a ton of rods and tackle. Dug out the old 840 and probe and can't find the transducer or power cord. Does anybody have an old transducer or power cord they would sell? Perhaps a whole system they would sell? They want around 200 for the trans and 50 for the power cord new from fish hawk. I would buy a new x4 before I paid that for just the wires. Somebody has to have a box of old stuff they will never use. Sell me the wires or the whole setup.

Gimbal mounts, planer board masts, and the organizers that hold the pliers and lures or the cutting boards seem easy to make. Also the trolling boards and risers along the backs of boats might be more worth it than smaller tracks. If you want to make something i have never seen before......how about a dual rod holder downrigger base with 2 small tracks instead of the permanently mounted rod holders? Does anybody make those? I wouldnt mind having berts rod holders on my big jon captain pack riggers.....just so they were all the same.

The tracks arent so bad but the acce$$orie$ are another story. Rod trees, cup holders, organizers. Thats where the money is. Welding tubing is much easier and cheaper than milling out aluminum stock into tracks. Custom rocket launchers and bimini enclosures are big $$$.

I have the reels and the copper just sitting there. I still have a few 209's with 3-7 color that i use sometimes so this would have to be better than that. I would use them for erie too and have snap weights so even 50-150 would get used alot. Browns in the spring might be nice to have a few 50's. 100-150's would work for me most the year. Im just looking for ideas and im retiring all the lead core. Not necessarily trying to put on as much copper as i can. Just ballpark of backing and lenghts and thoughts on short cores to ponder over till i get to use the boat again.

So its the end of the season and im upgrading and switching around reels. I have some penn 320's and 330's that id like to spool up some #45 copper. Cant really find much info on copper capacity on these reels. I was thinking about 100' max on the 220's and 200' on the 330's but not sure. Whats the most each of these reels would hold?

Im in lockport ny 14094 and id pay shipping but if somebody could pick them up they can have them.

Ill take them if you will ship them!

Im no expert but i run 15' back for flashers and 25 for spoons and cheat any spoon rod on the riggers. Down speed in important.

Im from olcott-lockport area.

Looking for a pair of electric riggers in olcott area. Would like swivel bases, long arms, dual rod holders but would entertain any decent shape riggers. Just setting up the new boat and not trying to mount these hand cranks if i dont have to.

I really need a set of planer boards and mast. Would really like a 6'+ mast. And a set of otter boats but would consider anything. Just got a new boat and it needs a set of planer boards.

Yup.....thats why i asked. I got 7 strand. So since i got to buy weighted steel or copper.....what is recomended?
