    Track questions

    Disregard. It says anglers pal right in the description.

    Looking back, tyee, when I read your post and looked at the adapter I wasn't looking at that specific one as it comes with the ball on top. Looking at RAMS website they have no tracks adapters, so I appreciate you beating that point home !!! Also, they are a couple bucks cheaper than the traxtech universal rod holder adapter plate.

    3 thumbs up

    The PA450's are nice, I would have ordered those 1st if I knew about them.  But the website where I got my adapter plates from wanted me to pay for the return shipping, even though their website said they were compatible with Angler's Pal (which they were not!)  So I opted for the old drill -n- tap...I also like that the plates I got are about 3 inches longer than the PA450's.

    I run Traxstech tracks and Berts tracks, they seem to be interchangeable.  Cannon track was slightly larger (wider and taller) but has a nice bead blasted finish.  I just bought a set of Traxstech adapter plates to mount my Anglers Pal rod holders, and had to drill and tap a new hole for the 3rd mounting hole on the Anglers Pal.  I also had to shave down about 1/8" on either side of the Anglers Pal base to get the whole setup to slide into the Bert's track.  I will add some pics later.  But it was all worth it as I really wanted that removable setup to go from fishing to a family boat.

    Those are some good size browns, 1last. Great pics. What kind of bait did you use?

    Mostly egg sacs on the casting rod, and some flies on his fly rod. Color and presentation did make a difference day to day...

    Looking for advice on decent entry-level dipsy rods...

    I use the Shimano TDR dipsey rods for walleye mostly and they work well.  They are only around 30.00 each.  I would suggest using braid instead of mono for dipeys.

     

    Thanks I was looking at those on the FishUSA website.  What action do you use?  The reviews said they run a little on the heavy side...

     

    Also do you need twilli tips for braid, or is that only for running wire?

    Looking for advice on decent entry-level dipsy rods...

    Looking for advice on a good entry-level dipsy diver rod, not looking to spend too much to start.  I picked up several size 0 divers with rings and snubbers at the charter captains shows this spring, just getting into learning how to fish them now in Lake Ontario.  I tried to run one on an Eagle Claw Starfire SF-400A, 9.5ft, but the rod isn't really stiff enough to keep the spread out where I want it.  I am using a basic Shakespeare line counter reel with 25lb mono on it, and that part seems to work well.  I do have several spools of 40lb braid I bought for cheap at the KMart closeout sale, may switch to that if the mono does not allow for the dipsy releases to trip...Thanks for any advice!

    5hp-8hp short shaft outboard

    Looking for a 5hp-8hp short shaft (15"-17") outboard for my 12' aluminum fishing boat.  Johnson, Evinrude, Mercury, Yamaha, Honda, Tohatsu, etc- a brand that is still in production today.  2 stroke or 4 stroke doesn't matter to me, looking for early '80s and up.  Must be in good running condition, no projects or basket cases please.

    Please text me at 585-532-3300 if you have something you would like to sell!
