  1. As gambler said you cant trust mass produced products when it comes to fishing line i have bought some meat rigs that when i shock test with bare hands they brake like ten pound test .I always rebuild them myself.
  2. I would go online and take a look at a 5w icom handheld good radio for under 200 i have one and really like it ., read a few reviews and pick the one that you like.
  3. Henderson bay Looking to do a brown trout trip out of Henderson harbor soon can anybody tell me what ice conditions are like in that area i use the public ramp there or would i need to use the launch on the black river . Thanks
  4. coyote flasher Looking for a retailer that i can find coyote flasher in black /uv bright glow in the dark cant seem to find this flasher on line i have seen the flasher featured on west coast sporting journal and was used with great success and was hoping somebody on this sight might no were i might be able to locate .thanks
  5. I have tested dr juice as well after aj,s bait and tackle recommended it and found it works and well trolling for bluefin tuna the fish can tell the difference between fresh and frozen bait 10 to 1 and thats trolling around 5 mph .Dont kid your self fish can smell just try berkley gulp versus plastic baits and you well see.
  6. best use of that nob is to set it so that when real is in free spool with clicker switched off you can pay out line to desired distance without backlash .when sending out a dipsy use the clicker and thumb the spool until you reach the desired distance .
  7. I HAVE 1 RIGGER WITH BRAID AND THE OTHER IS WIRE AND THE BRAID HAS HAVE THE BLOW BACK AS THE WIRE .WISH I COULD USE BRAID ON OTHER RIGGER BUT NEED CABLE FOR DEPTH RAIDER .
  8. swr hybrid Looking to try a new swr set up really hate leadcore for many reasons but like the concept behind a swr set up was wondering if any body has tried using a small tadpole diver in place of 3 colors of leadcore behind down rigger ball ?
  9. I have a fox pro and a turbo dog by Primos and have called coyotes in with both i do like fox pro better though that being said a good call is not cheap .make shore that remote range is at least 100 yards as coyotes all ways come in on down wind side witch makes them very hard to kill .Also a good sound library of coyote vocals and distress sound and a hot button to program coyote pup in distress to so that you can bring them back after they spook it is very effective all year long.,
  10. hunted all my life and never a issue with a wood stock and i do hunt i all weather conditions .wood has a much better feel to it no so cheap feeling ,less recoil and is quit in woods .synthetic is very loud if a sapling or any thing else bumps it .
  11. i have seen coyote spoons use the extra blade and were very productive
  12. just bought okuma magna pro 8ft 6 downrigger combo with line counter for 54 .00 at Walmart cant bet that deal . i have caught alot of fish with them with no issues including kings
  13. with your painting skills you might want to look into doing fish replicas for people it would pay much better .nice work
  14. well i still run both i find most spoons have to small of a treble hook and the fish can twist off to easy a good single hook will hold large fish much better in my opinion .with a meat rig i will run a high quality treble of large size for kings seems to work well .
  15. savage 7mm-08 wood stock accu trigger you will love it cost less then the rest and has a better trigger out of the box and little to no recoil !
  16. torpedo weights work great and are adjustable as well for direction
  17. so i am new to fishing for kings but have done well out of henderson i caught most of my fish on ff or meat rigs i just cut my meat strips out of king salmon skin and catch kings on it cant really see any reason to by meat after the first fish is landed .good luck
  18. I started doing food plots about 8 years ago and have learned a few things along the way like dont cheap out on the lime do your soil test and buy.agg lime by the ton .If you soil ph is not right you are never going to be happy with your plots .Next you cant beet the weeds so you need to have 2 types of plots clover that you mow at least 3 times a year to control weeds and annuals that you plant in August i like daikon radish and oats .One note not all clover is the same sceance i have been using imperial white tail clover there has been bachelor groups of bucks living on that plot when all i use to get were does and a small amount of young bucks .WORTH THE MONEY !
  19. as pap said stiff down rigger rods with braid also torpedo was weights fish great and more fun when fitting fish .
  20. thanks guys heading back again cant get enough of screaming drags
  21. i have tried some apex lures that have a very crazy action thought for sure they would work but nothing should have got more aggressive colors maybe i will try them behind a flasher
