RE: Lund 1800 Pro V Ride..Honest Comments Please
I have a Lund and have ridden in a Ranger 620 and there is no comparison in rough water. The Ranger is far easier on the body at high speed. That said, the ProV is a very nice rig and solid. If I had...

RE: Boat comparisons on 619 vs Pro V 1900

RE: Two verses three hooks
I thought I was the only one that likes 3. When I look at the tooth marks on my baits over 9" the majority are in the middle of the bait. If the fish hit the bait in the middle, I want a hook there....

RE: Old Geezers and Fast Action tips?
I didn't know that they made a rod too sensitive for rigging??? Leave the bail open with the line on the tip of your finger and a good tap will pull the line off your finger tip. Also a nice rig for...

RE: SLUGGO question
I have done best with the large Sluggo's fished like a plastic worm for bass with no weight in very shallow water. If you rig with the hook that comes with them, run the hook through the tip of the...

RE: Yea or Nay on these items for my boat?
The boat buckles look extremely slick if they work. As for the SS prop, I would think that on a 25 HP used primarily in shallow water in a river, it would be a huge mistake and would put your lower...

RE: Salmo baby musky jerkbait any good?

RE: Stradic & G Loomis
For pulling big cranks, you want a baitcaster, not a spinning setup. If you do go with a Stradic, the 4000 is more than big enough. Also, trolling big cranks would be brutal on a high end graphite...

RE: Crankbaits bouncing off of rocks?
Bouncing off rocks intermittently has a triggering effect on the fish and would in my opinion be desirable. What Mr. Fellegy is probably referring to is running bottom bouncers and jigs on the mud...

RE: Rigging rod
