Use different line
Personally, I would stick with the 2500 or 3000 and change the type of line I am spooling them with. I'd be willing to bet that Berkley nanofil spooled up on a 3000 will cast just as far as suffix...

Bedding
One of the bulk suppliers I talked to last year gave me some good advice on keeping the crawlers alive. Watch the dirt they are stored in and when it begins to pill up into little balls, it is time...

Sliding the collar down
There is no doubt that the Terrovas will self deploy in the right circumstances. The jarring of the waves can give that force of pushing the release ahead and the bow coming up over the wave can...

I know I could get those bloodshot eyeball spinners a little more lifelike if I tried them again, but for the first attempt, they turned out okay.

Separating fish from the bottom?
Gary, very interesting post. It's good to hear your experience of experimenting with the lowrance stuff.

Thanks
Thanks for the compliments. That Stratos looks sharp too! I've tried a few props on her and have it running just over 60 mph. I'm sure I could get a few more miles out of her if I played around a...

This is my second year with a 209 and a 300 etec. Love the boat! We just hosted a 30 boat tournament last weekend and the weather couldn't have been worse. Rain and wind from sun up to sun down. ...

Thanks for the comments. All these blades were deep cup blades from Jann's netcraft. Gold, silver, hammered nickle, they were all good for paint right out of the package. No priming required. I...

I've never tried a high five, but outside of watersports, the reviews are pretty negative regarding the high fives. Have you researched how guys with the 4 blades make out for towing tubes? I've...

BE SURE TO GET IT IN WRITING before you accept a promise to fix it at a later date (if that's what is decided). I'd also make sure it is from more than the salesperson. A GM would be good.
