    Nice job guys, those are some nice fish, can’t even begin to think about getting stuff together, I removed the canvas off my shelter, thank the big guy in the sky I had another cover on the boat. You guys are killing me :envy: I’m so sick of snow I could just :puke: I had good intentions, LOL this mornings view out the window!!63FBE9DA-5FCB-408C-99E9-8804EDCBF6DD.thumb.jpeg.59d01a43e0a215abf8c6c944d031a1f1.jpeg
    PAP,
    Looks like my yard. Minus the boat, mine is in garage. We got 8" Sat. With another 4-8 coming tonight-tomorrow. I'm ready for the Looney farm, I'm so sick of WHITE. Talk about shack happy.!!!!!!!!!

  2. I know many if not most guys are pretty sold on long leaders with leadcore or coppers, but rather than attaching the weight to the backing of the leadcore line but the "pencil" type (tungsten or lead) weights (with the clip opened up slightly) can be clipped on the leadcore above the leader to mainline swivel and the leader kept to the length of the rod. I know...there are going to be folks that say " Don't ever clip anything to the leadcore itself" but I have never had one do any noticible damage to the core itself resulting in any failure since the sheathing is the strongest part anyway. I also don't think the shorter leader is a problem as you are going deep so "stealth" is not necessarily a critical thing.
    I do same thing, have tried both ways. Putting weight on pole side puts big V in line which is much easier to tangle in other lines.

  3. Used pair of Okuma Catalina CT-30D's. Come with two new Dragmaster Drag Rebuild kit with Carbon fiber washers.

    Drags are good so didn't put upgrades in. One with 50# Metered Braid, other with some 7strand remaining. All Drags, Clickers, Line Counters, work fine. Reels are built like a tank. OKUMAS BEST line counters once made, no longer available.

    $180+ Shipping from WI. PayPal+4%, or USPS MO, cleared check..
