[QUOTE="RaisedByWolves, post: 490740, member: 22989"] Hi dandrews! Thanks for chiming in. My above project got stalled, too many irons in the fire. #-o Most guys on this and other “tin boat” boards seem to be after bolt on mods vs tuner type mods. Simple easily repeatable stuff that will get you more top speed but still leave time in an outing to do some actual fishing, vs cursing… err… I mean tinkering. **** wildlife just does not like oily lures. Timing advance can be tricky for most people as having a test wheel is the safest way to perform this afaik and those can cut into a budget. Reed stops always seemed like the holy grail to me with good results having been reported. Only problem in doing this is if not done correctly (and what that is I don’t know) it can lead to reed breakage and ingestion. I’m a toolmaker by trade and have wanted to make a jig for precisely bending the reed stops evenly along their length but again, time… I believe this to be the key as most of what I have read about people trying this was shade tree mechanic type stuff. My theory on breakage is they wind up with a high spot or hard edge that causes the reed to get work hardened in one spot leading to failure. [/QUOTE]
