Sold / Closed WTB Marine VHF Radio

yeah it doesn't matter your age. nobody should go out there without a working radio. he should get a meddle just for going fishing at that age. -

Sold / Closed WTB Marine VHF Radio
sherman brown replied to Todd in NY's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
I done gave my old radio away on another forum. he was looking for cheep rod holders. I had a few of my old holders so I gave them to him. he's trying to get ready for erie. so I asked him if he needed a old radio. I ended up giving the holders and radio to him just to help him out. the old radio worked good. the only reason I was giving it away was I upgraded to a radio with built in gps. -
Sold / Closed WTB Marine VHF Radio
sherman brown replied to Todd in NY's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
just remember the antenna is the heart of the system. if you get a good radio with and a cheap antenna you will be doing an injustice to yourself. your bettor off getting a cheaper radio and getting something better in the antenna. I had a cheap radio and cheap make do antenna. it worked ok for me until I upgraded the antenna. I kept reading and hearing that the antenna was the most important part. so I upgraded the antenna and im glad I did. my cheap radio with the new upgrade antenna was wonderful. but I did upgrade my radio with one that has gps. but the cheap radio was working great with the new antenna. my first recommended antenna is the Shakespeare 5225 xt. it cost about 125.00 on ebay. -

have you tried the traxstech retrievers yet? they are the best out there. they work just like the others but have much better rollers that retrieves the ball. they might cause the same problem as the others but you need to try them before you give up and say there's nothing you can do.

unless you moved the distributor I wouldnt think its off by much. but if the electrical ignition was installed recently it could be off it isn't a big job to get the timing right. I would guess its in the carb. was the air screws adjusted with the motor running? if not its easy to get close. the way I always set mine back when I was drag racing. turn the screws all the way in, now turn then out 1 1/2 turns, go by the tach with the motor warmed up and running. and turn them out 1/2 turn each and see if the rpm goes up. continue this until you get max rpm's. then turn them back in 1 turn. this will get you very close. the high octane gas doesn't really help unless the motor knocks. but if you want gas without alcohol then it isn't going to hurt anything. another thing that might help. go to a auto parts and ask if they have a hotter plug that replaces the plugs you have now.

Wanted WTB an old-style Big Jon Electric Down-rigger
sherman brown replied to Fishbowl836's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
no more than riggers are used while fishing they should not effect the battery at all if your running your main motor. I use 2 big jon pro tournament riggers I use on erie and never even noticed and change in my battery. -
Wanted Short arm electric downriggers.
sherman brown replied to nookchasen's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
I don't know about the cannons but big jon can be made short or long with the sectional booms. I seen a couple of nice used big jons on ebay a couple of days ago. I just checked and there still there. its 2 riggers for 500.00 but will take offers. -
1986 Tiara Pursuit...lets try this again ... SOLD
sherman brown replied to longtimefisherman's topic in Boats for Sale
to drop 3000.00 on the price is a big chunk of change. if I had 4500.00 to spend i'd buy it and store it until my boat dies. how much would you knock off if you kept all the electrical, downriggers and any other things you might be able to sell. I have the old lowrance 38c hd that I would mount on the boat. and I have 2 big jon pro tournament riggers that hasn't been used a dozen times yet. -

Wanted WTB an old-style Big Jon Electric Down-rigger
sherman brown replied to Fishbowl836's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
I cranked those manual riggers for over 35 yrs. but I was watching ebay when these 2 suppliers got in a price war per say. I picked up one new pro tournament riggers for 525.00 then I contacted the other one and he let me have one for the same price. but I ended up with getting four of them for that price. but 4 with 6 lite bite slide divers was just to much work. so I sold 2 of them. the only regret was that I hadn't bought electric riggers much sooner. I fish the central basin for eyes. the electric riggers saves my old broken down body. -

for sale : usa Who make the longest dipsy rod
sherman brown replied to Bigsex21's topic in Classifieds - Buy, Sell, Trade or Rent
I used a 10' diver rod to run my lite bite divers. but it was a little cumbersome. now I use a 7' in the back, then an 8' in the middle, and a 9' in front. this way it keeps my lines apart. -
I use the whooping stick for riggers and they work great for downriggersl. I was using the 9' med action for saltwater fishing. but they don't have it anymore. so I went with the 8' and couldn't be happier. when hooked to a nice redfish or black drum i've had them bend the rods down to the water. its rated for 4# to 20# line. but I was using 30# braid on them. I've not had one break even with what I put them through. I had a couple of black beauty rods I got off ebay that were good rigger rods.
