Fantastic reels!

Sorry to necropost an old thread but I had a question. First I agree with you on the open floorplan. I keep mine the same way. Nice job on the mods. The question. How is the floor held down over the noodles? The carpet looks like it wraps around the plywood so Is it glued down or did you screw...

Hey Bugpac, are you super tuning the G models? Or are you talking about the E series?

I'm afraid I'm with Redbug on this. I have a 6' Berkley series one baitcasting rod with a Lews speed spool tournament pro and 12lb Silver thread. I find it incredibly accurate for skipping under docks and around cover. I have other heavier and longer rods for other things but worms get this setup.

I have 2 E series and one of them has the Boca bearing replacement. I love this reel! I can cast 1/8 oz panther martins with it a long way on a 6'6" shimano crucial 10-12lb rod. The other is a stock 300E7 I use for my pike rod when I go to Canada each year. The G series were awful. Just awful. I...

Well I finally got thru the whole thread. Dave, I really want to thank you for this monumental undertaking. Not only the rebuild but the wonderful blow by blow of the whole process. Post like this are what make this a great site and I just wanted to say thanks To Dave and everyone who added to...

After fishing with a 6ft Ugly stik lite for years and having them work flawlessly. I am convinced that most rods made today are good enough to fish with. I have probably caught hundreds of fish on that ugly stik. Now that I have a little more cash than I did back then I have started buying...

Just wait. You will wind up with a Shimao Citica, Chronarch or possible a Lews Tournament pro. And then you will see how much better it can still get. :wink:

I just picked up a 7'6" StCroix flyrod with a Pflueger Trion fly reel. Quickly becoming my favorite...

Lots of votes for the Crucial. Mine is a cork handle version. Anyone have this type? I hardly see them around anymore.

All of my baitcasters are Lews Speed Spool Tournament Pro. They can be had for much less than retail if you look around. They are the best I've used, ever! As for spinning reels I am still a bit undecided. Bang for the buck I am bouncing back and forth between the Shimano Symetre and the Orra...

I have the exact reel on a Falcon Bucoo 7' 12-17lb rosd. Lots of heft. very happy with it. about $110

Thank you for the replies. I cant believe I am looking at other boats. I haven't even put my new to me Smokercraft and 20hp Merc in the water yet. I got a problem....

I have seen many boat rehabs here and elsewhere that had the old foam removed and it was soaked thru and thru. In some cases it added as much as 100 to 200 lbs. Friday while I was at a local boat show I was admiring one of Lunds boats the rep told me it was completely foamed below the deck. I...

Well here goes... I have a 10ft lowe jon boat. I am 5'11 170# My brother in law is 6' 250-280 depending on how close to the holidays it is. We have fished from it together with a battery, trolling motor, rods tackle and seats. It gets tippy when I stand. I have only felt like my life was in...

I saw the sea arc at the Boat Show in Oaks yesterday. It was awesome. I wanted one immediately. It was so unbelievably roomy and the draft is so little. If I had the cash I would do it. Well, that or a Lund Fury16 :-D

Nothing too fancy here. I got a Smokercraft 140 in December for $1300. Came with everything but a motor. Carpet was a bit stanky. I re-carpeted it and took out the livewell. I will line it with foam and use it as a cooler. I picked up a Merc20 4 stroke for $2300 with warrantee till 2016...

=D> Awesome motor.

Well I pulled the trigger on a 2011 Mercury 20hp. Pristine condition. started on the 3rd or 4th pull. Cold. Idled great. Warranty till 2016. $2300 bucks with tank and extra parts.

This was bigger than it looks, the tail is curled around. I wound up letting it go in good health.
