Can you load the rods tight using rubber bands in blacks?

Yes

What length and action on the Ticas? I’ve looked at their surf rods but never the inshore rods

I bought the 8' blue kokenee rods. I'm sure I spelled that wrong, lol. They are very light bot help keep landlocked s pinned at the net. You should see what an 8lb laker does to them!! I found them on Amazon, only place I could find them.

What did the gar hit?

For a light rigger rod try a Tica. They aren't as versatile as an old ugly stick but fun on landlocks.

There have recently been several people selling used probes on the site. It sucks but I would hate to fish without it. Good Luck!

If you set on fishing toward Mexico or Henderson the Deer Creek motel is reasonable.

I second Anchor Inn. Great place!!!

Minion, if he's still making them.

I run mine in cisco tracks. Have a Lund so had to add the brackets and rigger mounts. Never had a problem, good luck!!

Buds should have them also

To far for me, thank you for the response.

Where are you located?

Contact Lucky2fish on this forum. He helped me out before fishing there once. We had a great day

Any reel capable of handling 20 colors would be absolutely no fun to use spring fishing in ME. I personally own 4 lead rods of various action and lengths of lead for various seasons.

We use 9' light action rods. Ugly stick, talora

I like the snubbers on the ball for shock absorption when the ball is along side the boat and its easier to grab the snubbers when the ball is coming in the boat.

Think I have it fixed/correct order now.

 

But was wondering...how reliable are the plastic insulators at holding probe, ball etc?  Anyone using any backup cable etc in case insulator breaks or are they pretty reliable?

I would be more worried about the blacks though the blacks should not break. Some on here have mentioned running the same blacks for years. I do run two snubbers to the ball. You can take all the precautions you want, sometimes the lake just takes things away. good luck!!!

Been fishing the Oak for a few years now. A few times it would have been nice to be able to communicate with other fishermen. Do you want inside or outside? Things like that. Thanks for your time,    Matt

You change your leaders every year, why not the termination? Terminations and ball snubbers are cheap insurance, Good luck!!

Check you pms

Fixed will not make it over the swivel.
