    RoadRunners

    Still use them all the time. I usually set up friends that haven't fished before with one. Works consistently.

    How to swim a jig/pig lure???

    I almost always use a short plastic crawfish with my jigs. Sometimes a twin tail well. Seem to always work.

    Jig fishing help - what size rod and line to use?

    I too prefer spinning set up over the bait casting. They work great for the lighter stuff. But, for jigs and rubber worms I use a baitcaster. For my jig set up: I have an inexpensive Lew's reel on a 6ft Medium - Heavy Falcon rod (FC-5-16) set up with Berkley Big Game 20# mono. A heavier rod...

    Know anything about Shimano Cosair Reels?

    I know this is an older post but figured I would respond. I had a Shimano Corsair for about a month and it fell apart. Took it back to Sport's Authority and got a second one. The second one fell apart within a month as well, took it back as well. Not a very good Shimano reel. Worst Shimano...

    Project "Livin Large" (update July 19 - rocket launchers!)

    Nice build. How's that Mini-Jacker working for you? I was thinking of buying one to use for my kicker motor. I would place it so it would be even with the transom since it will be a short shaft kicker on a short shaft transom. Do you think this will work? Would I be able to get the motor...

    Finally got a boat HECK YEA!!!!!! Pics are up

    I think I paid an extra $26. The place I went to won't touch homemade trailer titles any more and won't do lost titles. You will be on your own. The lady at the title place was explaining the process of homemade trailer title to someone and told them to expect possible close to 6 months...

    Best way to add kicker motor?

    Will this Mini-Jacker work? Both are short shafts. https://www.basspro.com/MiniJacker-for-Clampon-Outboards/product/8782/-421340

    Finally got a boat HECK YEA!!!!!! Pics are up

    Congrats on your new boat. I too just picked one up. I am from IL as well and had to make sure I had all the titles from MO. I used a private license / title place and just paid the fees to get everything registered all at once. I think it's worth the extra cost in IL since it only took...

    Were these rods a good deal?

    Been using them a bit. Seem pretty nice for what I paid. I have a Falcon Moxie 2000 reel on one and I enjoy the reel and the rod. Decent set up that only cost me less than $40. Really liking the Falcon Moxie reel. Purchased it for $29.99 with 15% off. For a cheep reel it feels good.

    1979 15ft Fisher Marine Flat Bottom

    I just took her out today for the first time. I didn't find any leaks. It was a little tippy but, I am a big guy, weighing in around 275. But, it's not too bad. Just have to be careful if I step right on the edge. I still need to re wire the whole boat. Navigational lights, Bilge pump...

    Nice looking build. That is the same boat as mine. This gives me plenty of ideas for changes down the road.

    Wanted: steering controls for 1983 15HP Evinrude

    That's what I am trying. Just figured I would throw it out there. Would like to get rid of my 25hp and just use a smaller engine.

    Wanted: steering controls for 1983 15HP Evinrude

    Hey there everyone, I am looking for steering controls for 1983 15HP Evinrude. This way I can use it as my main engine. I know new parts are available to convert it from tiller to remote. Just don't want to pay the high prices for new. Looking for the parts to convert it. If you know where...

    Will any Battery Charger work? What to buy?

    Thanks, Guys. Right now I just wanted something to get by. I charged both the batteries over night between the last two nights, one on one night the other last night. I will probably add another battery or two down the road for the trolling motor. I will be fishing (80%-90% of my time)...

    1979 15ft Fisher Marine Flat Bottom

    Yea, I figured that's what it would normally go for around here as well. I had cash in hand and I was the first to look at the boat. Was an older guy getting rid of too many things. He almost wouldn't go that low. But He figured his time was worth just taking the offer and be done with it...
