Hookkeepers on the side, as intuitive and convenient it is for you to use it, allows the line to catch it while fishing. On top, for baitcasting, or bottom, for spinning is where it tends to snag...

Great bait to skip into and through lay down branches. Getting fish out of them is on you. LOL.

The standard Minnkota Precision does fine. I’m almost beginning to wonder if they didn’t just relabel the “Gel” bank to “Lithium” to give people a new excuse to buy the “PCL” version. LOL.

The Japanese have the small engine reliability down, but I’d be concerned about the availability of qualified mechanics when it comes to the new comers in outboards.

If I were ever storing outside again, I would absolutely be covering the tires… fenders too if you have fiberglass. There’s a night and day difference between boats stored outside vs inside. I’d...

In your price point, I’d consider the Daiwa Caldia (exact reel as the US Daiwa Ballistic MQ). Digitaka did not have the Tatula MQ in the 3000 size, but that’s a model down anyway. Other JDM sites...

These little things, on otherwise very good rods, is the reason I went to custom rods. A builder could easily swap out that nut for you though. It would entail removing and rewrapping one or 2...

ABSOLUTELY agree with this.

I don't know where people are coming from with finicky. This has been a pretty smooth casting reel and casting among my farthest casting reels. Definitely better than my first generation Calais DC,...

2.0 is always around the corner... for EVERYTHING.

Never had an issue. Are you sure you have the right thrust washer? Or sure the washer isn’t worn?

I added 360 and dual stack mount 12’s and the factory cover still fits. Added a dual 12 side by side set up at the console and the cover still fits, with no hint that that anything is “off”. This...

I mix Golden Oak with Natural. Natural is lighter, Golden Oak has been too dark for most of my corks (corks get sun bleached over time too).

I haven’t looked at my current FXR, but my past boats usually had the flap housing on the floor of the bilge right before the plumbing led out to the drains/intake. I’m pretty sure those holes are...

Worn motor mounts also cause steering play.

One of my favorite cereals, but I never remember to get any (don’t eat breakfast much these days anyway).

Cable is pinched, in a bind, or failing. Lubricating at the lever won’t do anything. Now is the time to get it corrected through warranty. A new cable will solve it.

Now Skeeter is notorious...

The stock prop is only as good as it gets if it’s blueprinted. Even then it’s weight sensitive. Yes it’s the prop that is weight sensitive, not the hull (for those that think the hull is designed...

Both are good but they have to be installed correctly when trailering. If ordering from Aurora, get the Aqualon material.

I use the Elmers too, but Golden Oak rarely matches my cork. I get that and another one of a lighter shade (I’m pretty sure lighter) and mix the two until I get a closer match. I tried the cork...

I’ve always figured whatever I get there, I get without returns (saved so money so far I could afford a few duds). I heard they make it right if you get something defective though. If shipping back...

Not even talking about the engine (which would be a hard pass for me), “needing some buffing on the top deck” is not a well taken care of boat, at the very least, not “in great shape”, in my opinion....

150 was the standard when that was the limit in BASS tournaments, so that’s what bass fishermen thought they had to have. Now the limit is 250, and that is where every serious bass fisherman, that...

I still see plenty of people at Starbucks, but I’ve always seen plenty of people that SHOULDN’T be going there. I think many of those have finally realized that they can’t afford to go there every...

I believe the Japanese bearings are pretty good too, but over time, they do get hard to clean. I have not tried ultrasonic cleaners, but I can’t see how all the grit can be taken out with the metal...
