    Reel Parts

    Hey guys does anyone have some good resources for reel parts. I have a BPS Extreme reel that I like...I know it is not a high end reel but it is good, I am looking for the magnets that are in the braking system. As an assembly it looks pretty good but one of the magnets is a little corroded and...

    Sunday fishing

    This is probably nothing to you guys but it was cool to me and I don't have anyone to tell that gets it. As some fo you guys know this is only about my 3rd year fishing and I can't get enough of it. On Sunday I went down to Pinchot lake, launched the boat and headed over to a little inlet...

    Baitcast bearings

    Hey guys...looking to get some opinions on bearings. Are SS or ceramic better? I like tinkering with my reels and I am thinking of upgrading the bearings in a few of them. Thanks for the thoughts.

    Steering questions

    I need some advise...I have a Tracker Grizzly 1648. It has no console. Do you guys think it would be better to either get or build a console or go with stick steering? If I go with stick steering has anyone done that and posted the build so that I could maybe take a look to help me figure out...

I was trying to look up some info on Force motors but there are a lot of opinions out there and I figured that I trust you guys more than some random site. What do you think? Supposedly...

    True Story...You may be a redneck if...

    To really appreciate this it would be helpful to know my wife but this may give you an idea...when she dresses down she looks more dressed up than most people when they try to dress nice. She watches all of the fashion TV shows...she has over 300 pairs of shoes ---not including the boots! I...

    Any of you guys that keep fishing when the weather gets cooler...what if any kind of gloves do you wear or recommend? I am in PA and I am hoping that I can keep fishing until the lakes freeze. Thanks for the help.

    Another old one

    You probably have to be older to get this one. I have always like this... There were 2 bulls standing on a slight hill looking at all the cows in the pasture below. A little breeze strated to blow and the cows started to stumle around a bit. The cows looked up at the bulls and they are just...

    Speaking of tow vehicles

    I have to share....Last Saturday I got a new (to me) tow vehicle. It is a 2008 Ford Expedition Eddie Baurer EL with only 35,000 miles on it. I am going to post pictures of it but first it was raining for days (had a flood that got pretty close to the house) and the last couple of days I got home...

    Heat,dogs,fishing...warning

    There may be a lot of you that already know about this but I did not and it was nearly a tragedy last Sunday. You may already know that my Corgi is my best friend. He follows me everywhere and is always by my side if he can be. So Sunday I wanted to go out fishing for a while and I felt bad...

    Busted rod

    OK -- this probably falls in the really stupid question category but over the weekend I managed to break one of my rods about 18 - 24 inches down from the tip. It was a Pflueger Echelon ECH70-1M 7'-0" Medium action IM 8 Graphite. Now I know there isn't much you can do with it but for guys who...

    NADA guides

    I was trying to get an idea on what outboard motors are worth...sort of a Kelly BlueBook deal on outboards and I came across this link called NADA Guides. If these guys are right, there are a lot of over priced asking prices for motors. Have you guys seen these? Does anyone have a better way to...

    Casting my baitcasting reel

    Over the winter I aquired several Baitcasting reels. One is a Quantum Response that I really like. The one thing I kind of question though is if I am supposed to cast them from back to overhead rather than a more sidearm cast. I cannot seem to get the release right going overhead and I don't get...

    A fishing question

    OK -- I think I have made it pretty clear that I am a novice fisherman so bear with me on this question...It finally got fairly warm here but it has been raining like crazy. A lot of the streams and rivers are running really fast and high. I don't think I should put my boat in but I was...

    Mounting an Outboard motor question

    Since it is getting close to spring and I am seriously shopping for motors I have a question...if you are getting a tiller type outboard that is less than 25 HP is it recommended to have it professionally installed or is it as simple as bolting it to the transome? Sorry if this is dumb..first...

    Thanks a LOT, Jim and one other thing

    Jim -- I just wanted to know if you are trying to get me in trouble. I no sooner order one of the MattLure U2 lures and now you put up this TriggerFish thing that I know I will have to have. The other thing...I must be rubbing off on the wife...she told me that night before last she had a dream...
