    Shear Magic

    I got an ad in the mail for a product called "Shear Magic". It's a flexible ring with two heavy plastic blades and retaining screws. The thing mounts to the business end of your trolling motor. It's supposed to keep weeds from wrapping around your trolling motor by shearing them off before they...

    2 Questions - Power Pro / Swivels

    #1<br />I just spooled my first bait caster with Power Pro a few months back. Also first time using braided line. Do all of you use a mono leader with the braided? Does anyone tie off directly to the lure? I currently have a 14 lb mono leader on 20 lb Power Pro.<br /><br />#2<br />Crankbaits...

    Musky Rod

    I've got an old Penn 750 in good shape that's been sitting around doing nothing for about fifteen years (since I moved out of Florida). I want to set it up for Musky. What kind of line and rod would you Musky guys recommend to pair with it?

    Thinking about a Tracker

    Do any of you have experience with Tracker welded boats? We are thinking about maybe getting into a new boat probably in the fall, and we're trying to decide ahead of time what we want to buy. In the tracker line we've decided the Targa series would best fit our needs (even though I really want...

    Where to Buy Fuel Lines

    I'm getting ready to put the carbs back on my 3 cyl, 1992 Johnson 60hp, and decided to replace the fuel lines. I've never had a problem getting parts for this motor before, but my local OMC dealer says he can't get them. The primer hoses are black, small diameter tubing. The main fuel supply...

    Wait till spring?

    I have a Johnson 50 that I've been sitting on. I planned to put it on ebay in the spring thinking that’s when people will be buying motors. However, I would like to get the thing out of the garage, and it seems like people are still buying engines even though it's wintertime. Am I just...

    Service Bulletin 2271, 60/70hp Recalibration Kits

    My local OMC dealer say he can't get the kit for this old SB. Do any of you have experience with this one? Is there a way I can tell if this has already been performed? The kit for my 92 60hp is number 436678. It's for installation of larger high-speed jets and a change of max spark advance. <br...

    18ft Tracker Boats

    I've been kicking around the idea of buying a new boat. I currently have a 1992 Tracker Pro Deep V 17, but I was planning on getting into a Triton, Alumacraft, or Lund for the next boat. I ended up over at my local Tracker dealer yesterday. Seems like a really good dealership all the way around...

    Baitcaster Question

    I see some good post Christmas sales out there and I'm going to bite the bullet and try out a baitcatser. I noticed all the right-handed baitcasting reels have the handle on the right side of the reel, while right-handed spinning reels have the handle on the left side of the reel. Why the...

    Berkley Got Me

    I was at the sporting goods store last week to buy a Hopkins, and passed buy a display of Berkley lures with a TV playing a Berkley infomercial. My first though was, "Ha, I wonder how many suckers they're going to nail with that video". Then on my way to the cash register I stopped and started...

    Jig Paint

    Most of the jigs I use alot have half to two thirds of the paint beat off them, but I keep using them. How important do you experts think it is to have a fully painted jig head, do you think it diminishes the effectiveness of the lure when they get beat up?

    Spinning Reels

    What is wrong with spinning reels? I have about eight of them. I was watching Loud Mouth Bass this morning on ESPN II, and they showed a clip of a pro fisherman landing a monster with a spinning reel. They were laughing about the fact that this guy caught the fish on a spinning reel, and...

    Magazines

    I'm going to get a freshwater fishing Magazine subscription to get me through the winter. Do any of you have any suggestions? The only two I've heard of are "Fishing Facts" and "In Fisherman".

    Alumicraft or Lund

    I'm looking at mid line Alumacraft's and Lund's. They both look like solid boats. But after looking at a models on each side of the fence I'm leaning toward the Lund. Better paint jobs, better fit and finish on the interior, they paint the inside of the hull, and they have some cool features I...
