For me it's all about weight and the speed of the hookset and a reel weighing 5+ ounces isn't a good combo on those light biters beyond 15 ft. I can get great hookups using the grizzly green mini...

I'm looking for the lightest in actual weight spinning reel with instant anti-reverse. I don't care about colors, bearings, smoothness, brand or any other hooplah! Just weight and instant anti...

We own and use at least 13 pflueger president 6920 reels between my family and I. The only time I've had issue with line dig or even looseness has always been directly related back to either the...

For 12v the Berkeley is very nice. I bought one of the american angler 12v that were recently available from them and found it lacks power vs the Berkeley. For 120v the mister twister green is...

The Engel coolers are awesome, but the aerators are crap. They are extremely annoyingly noisy, and they go through batteries very fast. For any size of their coolers the marine metals Baby bubbles...

Thanks for the responses! I was afraid the lead would run out all over like it does when you close the mold with the hook out of place.

I've just started painting too, after about 40 jigs I...

Hi, I've just started pouring my own jigs and have only used the chub do it mold. I just got the herring mold and am wondering if they can be poured without using the wire inserts for the spinner? ...

Thanks for the info guys! Gonna try to whack em tomorrow!

I'd like to hit the water this weekend as a possible last chance for this season. The nighttime lows are projected to be below freezing and since my boat is kept outside I have concern with freezing...

The first time we went out the only major difference in my setup and his was line. I thought he was nuts but he has professed time and time again the line he is using is the biggest part. This time...

Ok so I'm fishing tomorrow with my boss, he is an artificial jig fishing fanatic and kicked my butt all over the last time I went with him. I use Minnows and that's all. His boat, his rules , no...

We almost exclusively fish slip corks and never have the issue you are describing. On my wife and my poles we use power pro original 15 lb braid or gamma 15 lb. The gamma is very difficult to move...

I'm relatively new to crappie fishing so I'm sure 100% of my results are based upon lack of technique. My 70 yr old boss took me fishing one day and made the rule that we could only use jigs. I was...

What do you prefer and how and why do you use them?
For us we strictly fish Minnows via slip bobber technique at our local lake around stick ups and brush piles. We just don't seem to get the...

I've got the newer style remote and no problems with mine. I got it in 2014.
I did put dielectric grease on the battery from the very first day I had it. I've changed the battery 2 times just to...

I just bought a 30qt to use on our upcoming fishing vacation so we can hold a lot of shiners over the course of the week. Our two 13 qt coolers are going strong after lots of use. I really like how...

Royalwapiti, my boat is fully loaded, two live wells, side console, and three people normally on the boat and sometimes the dog. 2 mph + is easy to achieve. In the wind I might run it at speed 6,...

We can fish 3 rods per person, so 6 rods up front. If you get it mounted up centered I don't think you will have a problem pushing baits even with the longer shaft. I would be glad to post pics but...

I have the 55 12 volt on my Lowe 175. I didn't want the extra length, but it does make it easier to stow since it sticks up higher and is easier to reach. When stowed it does cause some challenges...

Hooksets are free!!!

I've tested the break strength of several 4 lb test lines, each of which is of varying diameters. Mono has an elasticity which recovers, whereas fluoro stretches more but does not rebound. The...

My little girl is 8, she always catches the biggest fish of the trip with her 9 ft SAMs super sensitive with a Shakespeare under spin reel. She bangs around and plops the bait into the water with...

For our purposes in most cases we use 1/2 oz weights. But we are typically pushing in at 14-8 ft fishing depths. If I were to go up shallower especially in thicker cover, we use 1/8 oz because it...

You could try the balsa floats or even the paulownia floats. I use the crappie stalker paulownia for fishing the stick ups on Kinkaid almost exclusively. A three pack of those are the same price as...

There are two 1/4 oz weights in his setup. The weights are also a key to getting unhung, as well as getting in and out without hanging up.

Tie on your slip string, slide the cigar shaped 2-3...

15 lb power pro original braid. Tru turn #2 hooks w/slip cork and a minnow. Check out Kyle Schoenherr YouTube videos on the technique and setup for Rend Lake bushes,, it works and I learned the...

If you have a west marine store in your area they usually stock cut to length marine wire. I caught it on sale two years ago when I rewired my entire 94 Lowe 175. But their regular price is not a...

For noise the Frabil Live bait aerator at Walmart is pretty dang quiet. It's also very easy on the batteries. I replaced my engel bait cooler air pumps with these units, and I'm satisfied. They...

I bought one of the recently discovered in the warehouse american angler 12v electric fillet knives. I used it a couple weekends ago coupled with an 8 inch american angler shark blade. Truthfully...

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

I I have a live well access on one side to get to the plumbing but there is a vertical wall of aluminum that extends to almost the bottom of the boat so I would...
