Pm coming 

If it makes a difference this will mostly be in Lake Michigan, I fish out of my uncles boat when we are on Lake Ontario. Thank you

The majority of stress and rubbing of the wire should be at the tip

Thanks, I have used single strand for Muskie, but will be first time with the braided wire. Appreciate he help.

Thank you, I have 8’ MH talora rods, if I install a twilli tip, can the other guides/rod hand wire? Thank you.

Having moved west I don’t get but a week or two of Great Lakes trolling. Growing up we used mono. For a diver rod set up, if you had to choose, which one wire or braid? I am comfortable with rigging either,  Thank you

If you could only have one leadcore set up, how many colors?

So if I were to come across a deal on a 6.5 creed more should I grab it?

Accurate and more than enough for a deer. My father in law uses one for elk here in Colorado as well.

Lot of different opinions ; consider a 270 as a # 1 chose ! A 30:06 is a big gun but has been posted with the proper ammunition will work just fine ! Bottom line [ unless you hand load ] do not get any gun that you cannot get ammunition for when you need it ! Eg. I was given a 257 Roberts Remington 7600 pump ; very little ammunition available ! We hand loaded 88 gr Hornady V Max but never got to use it on coyotes !

the .270 and 30-06 are the same case with a ton of overlap. An animal won’t know the difference. Typically ammo availability is good for both and you can hunt bigger game as well. Felt recoil comes down to fit much of the time, find a gun theater fits and recoil is typically not an issue.

for anything in the lower 48. With quality of bullets these days you don’t need anything special caliber wise.

I will take them. Thank you 

Hi, looking to pick up a net that allows me to release salmon/lake trout with minimal damage. Lake trout get up 40” or so and be used for salmon as well. I fish solo or with my kids, so lighter is better. Any suggestions? Thank you

The rods are usually threaded so any boom should be able to be taken off or replaced if broken, bent, etc.  Easy fix if the short arms don't work out.

Thanks, I will give them a call. Appreciate it

Big Jon's are probably the easiest riggers to repair or adapt to any boat. You can get extensions and easily lengthen the booms out to 42"-48". Check the classifieds or put in a WTB "Wanted to Buy" ad for the extensions. 

Thank you, this is the older sportsman model so I don’t believe I can extend it. I believe it should work fine though. Appreciate the help

Outside of being a giant, this fish looks like it has room to grow, not the more robust body you see on upper 30, low 40lb fish. Crazy!

270 or 308 cheap ammo and you can find it every place

I agree, I use both here Colorado on elk and deer. They work great.

Hi,

looking to pick up light 7-7’6” rods that are light but have enough backbone for once a year salmon trip Lake Michigan or Ontario , using spoons. Also suggestions for ML for flasher flies would be great as well. Want to keep them on the shorter side as well. I am in Colorado and will use them on lake trout the rest of the year. Thank you 

Bump

Thank you, they will be 2.5-3 feet off the stern, should be good

Hi, Is it possible to buy replacement “spring” part? Seems mine have worn down. Thank you 

Any chance you will ship?

Thank you, typically using big motor, so sounds like it shouldn’t be an issue I believe. Will be shifting to a 80lb trolling motor soon as well and then should be totally clear.

That and the green were my dads favourites. 

My Dad's as well. Looking to track them down for that reason. Thank you 

Looking for a size 3 j plug that has the prism tape inside, blue in color. Thank you 

Was gifted the 24” electric big Jon’s. Looking to mount off the side vs the back on a 1675 Lund adventure. Using Cisco track system would put them about 3 feet off the stern. Any issues? Can’t imagine they could reach the main motor. Thank you for the help.
