I have had the TR-1 for 4 years now and other then the remote I have now had any issues. As many of you know Garmin no longer supports the TR-1 so the new option seems to be the Reactor 40. Do any of you have this unit and if so how do you like it? I know a guy that has had both and likes the Reactor but he has broke a piece that steers the motor 2-3 times in a year. I believe he said the part was made out of nylon and he ended up machining one out of brass. Any of you had this issue?

I saw the wireless kits but I have not spoken to anyone that has one. Let me know if it works out. I did speak to a company that is making new wired remotes for $360 they said they will have them available soon. -
for sale : usa Wanted: Garmin TR-1 remote

Looking for a Garmin TR-1 remote if any of you know where I can get one. I bought it new 3 years ago and now Garmin dont support these any longer. -
My original thought was, I have probably 18-20 old rods in my shed that I will never use. After seeing how easy it is to strip them down to a bare blank, I figured I would tinker with them and build my grandchildren some basic trout rods with my name on them. I am guessing I may be able to reuse some of the guides and maybe seats. Just to get through the learning curve. Thank you all for the great advice. I would get pleasure out of catching fish from rods I build, I am just trying to figure out how to match the components and get the rod I am looking for.

Any idea what the final cost was?

Have any of you bought the rod building kits and built custom rods from scratch? I keep looking on the Mud Hole website and I just cant get over the cost of a decent blank. Seems like I could buy a rod cheaper then building one.

Wildwood Campground is the only option I have seen for a good breakfast. Thats in Fairhaven not far from Scewy Louie's.

I agree, the requirement for all on board to be entered reduces the "free loaders" fishing and having one person enter the fish. This tournament like many requires you to have a witness verify they saw the fish being legally caught, which would make it impossible to fish alone. I think most of us would not think it would be necessary to have a written agreement with a fishing partner you have fished with for 18-20 years. But here we are.

Has there been a court case in the past where one crew member aboard of a boat entered a fish that won a tournament but declined to split the winnings in any way? For instance, lets say there were 4 people fishing a tournament on Lake O that required all on board to have a ticket for the others be legally allowed to fish the derby. A rod goes off, one of the non owners of the boat fights the fish, the boat owner/captain nets the fish. The fish is then rightfully entered by the angler. Later, the angler decides to keep all of the winnings for himself alone. Has a case like this gone to court?

If I run mine more then 10-15' back and take a hit on a turn, the rigger that fired many times will get into my dipsy line.

Leadcore rod setup
Scalloper 1 replied to Scalloper 1's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
Great advice all. I picked up two 10 color rods today. And I will add 2oz of weight if needed. I didn’t realize how big of a reel would be needed for 20 colors. I wanted 20 colors to get down to 90-100’ for lakers here in Maine off of boards then my two riggers. I will use these 10 color with weights to get to 60-64’ off of boards outside my high dipsy -
Leadcore rod setup
Scalloper 1 replied to Scalloper 1's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I will use the leadcore in Maine in the spring. I don’t want to buy copper rods. -
I am considering setting up two leadcore rods with 20 colors each. I would like to add a 10’ section of 30 lb mono at 10 colors, and 15 colors to hook into my offshore boards. This was I would be more flexible on depths I could fish them off of boards. Any thoughts?

I installed a washdown hose in my Duckworth. I also put a cutting board on the bottom side of my hatch cover. I bleed the fish for 30 min then fillet and bury the fillets in gallon ziploc bags in ice. The quality of the fish is 2ed to none. I would not eat some/most of the fish I see coming off of other boats. A block of ice in a cooler with big ungutted fish sitting for 5-6 hrs is a dam shame and a waste.
