  1. I feel some of my diver rods are to stiff. They seem to pull smaller trebs ( 1/0 or smaller ) out of the fishs mouth . I have a custom made and older Eagle claw that have more of a parabolic softer action i like better .
  2. My problem is I built long salmon / steelhead rods or fly rods Blanks are 100$ + for low end
  3. I built about 40 rods in my day . Most pre graphite or it was new , expensive ,and not great. I enjoyed doing it and still use my long drift rods to this day . I keep wanting to build another but first , you can get any premade you want . And a custom built is not that much better . Or even worse if you dont set it up correctly with the right components and guide placement etc . Second , to build a decent rod will be double to quadruple what a premade is. Blank Handle set Guides Epoxy Thread Finish And non of this is cheap .
  4. During the shut down travel restriction I did a lot of spring fly fishing at the Oak . It was fantastic There is like nobody there .
  5. Man , that's a loaded question Summer could be 60 ft Could be 400 But generally , depending where you fish there are usually at least some kings off stucture 75 to 200 ft.
  6. When sun comes up I do better on my dipseys and slide divers.
  7. Don't be fooled on price with the cheaper Cannons . Many guys have lost probe due to the he abrubt stop .I know a guy who lost 2 on 10 trips . That over 1 k . Factor a lost probe and weight and you could have bought the better ones that don't do that .
  8. We had one heck of a current a few weeks back . The water is semi low so it should have blasted the end out. It has kind of filled in since the dredging .
  9. X2 on the Magnum metals . Built well no plastic .I saw them at the show and almost pulled the trigger some walkers came with my new boat .
  10. I see guys launching there all winter when there is no ice
  11. Aw , come on Yankee , it's all part of the fun . We're just discussing what lengths some guys will go to catch an animal with a brain the size of a pea. And it's all kind of related . And as a republican , I can't wait for more pollution . LO rebounding ? It's hanging on by a thread some years . It's a shadow of what it was . Kudos to the fisheries guys . And back in the day when I ran 6 rods on 4 riggers we had 6 fish on at once. As I remember , 2 we're good kings . But there were 4 guys on board . I'm to the point that I don't know how to respond to some of this .
  12. Nice Alumacraft on here
  13. These ecosystems are fragile . Just look at what a zebra mussle or a goby did to the great lakes . It takes a lot of years to grow a legal size bass . And they aren't stocked . Pluck to many out of a small bass lake and it could be decades to recover . As sportsman , we should be stewards of the resources and forward thinking . But from the response on here from some , it's not about that . Which I guess is why we need big brother .
  14. I bypassed the board and went to direct switch on my Mag 10s . It worked great for a while but then the motors were worn out . I got momentary down, full up switch.
