Ok, so hear me out... If I needed the most sensitive rod avaliable, I would probably try a pflueger lady trion or something along those lines. I know women can be very sensitive, so if my hunch is correct, a ladies rod would also have to be pretty sensitive? Maybe worth a shot.

None. We cancelled Directv last September. Can't pick up any antenna channels. Realized we were all watching way too much tv. Now, 7 months later, we really don't miss it much at all. Plus, I have about $85-$90 more per month to buy fishing stuff and get out and do stuff with the family. Also, more time to get chores done around the house, so I have more time to fish. We pick a few used family movies for cheap and watch those when we do watch something. It took about a week to adjust. Anyone who has been thinking about it, I highly recommend it. I don't see us ever getting sattelite/cable again. Not once has my daughter said "hey dad, you remember that tv show we watched that one time?" But, she will recall fish she has caught and camping trips we have been on all the time. I want to make more memories for her like those. This is one of the main reasons we made the decision. This is not intended to be a rant or anything. Just my two cents on the subject.

I did not receive my $100. Please resend and I will post a copy of my TW receipt showing what I purchased.

I purchased a Lew's baitcaster to try out earlier this year. I was so impressed, I immediately sold off all of my Shimano's and replaced them with Lew's. Up to that point, all I used was Shimano. I couldn't be happier with the Lew's. I highly recommend them.

I still use them mainly for spinnerbaits and chatterbaits. My favorite is a BPS Tourney Special. I have caught several fish on it. Nothing like catching a good one on a shorter rod. I have plenty of longer, non pistol grip rods, but this is my favorite rod to catch them on without a doubt.

Been using one of these for a couple of years now. Works great

My tracker 175 txw came with a 46lb motorguide. It does just fine. I usually have it set on 2 or 3 and it will run from sun up to sun down with no problems. Hope this helps.

If you are not sure, just take the wheel and hub off. the bearings will fall out, and on the side of the bearing will be the part number that you can take to any parts store and match up. Be sure to check the races as well. If they need to be replaced, the part number should be in the same place on them as well. When I chance out the bearings, I always change out the races as well just to be sure. Also, don't forget new seals. Hope this helps. Good Luck! By the way, how is your truck doing?

Hey BassChump, I just came across this post. Man, I have been waiting on this one for a few weeks. That fish is AWESOME. Definitley bigger than anything I have cought this year...so far. I have had not had much of a chance to fish with the baby coming in about a week. Looks like when I get back on the water, I will have to hit you up for some fishing advice. Once again man, NICE FISH. Keep it up!

I am not a mechanic, but I was always told that putting too much oil in your motor is worse than not having enough. I was told that if you have too much oil in it you run the risk of blowing out the seals. I am not sure if that is what is causing your truck to jerk around or not, but I would definitely drain it out and put 6 quarts back in it. When all else fails check your dipstick. Good luck.

I bought a new loomis rod from them a few months ago. Shipping was pretty slow, but it was advertised and a great deal. If you don't mind the wait, go for it.

Sorry all this had to happen. My wife dropped off the the trolling motor at a stores that ships FedEx. She paid the money to have it shipped out and to have it packaged because I did not have a box big enough. There was a line behind my wife and the lady told her they would package it up as soon as they were able to. I guess that is what we get for not watching her box it up. She was supposed to wrap it up with bubble wrap and pack it tight in a box. But my wife did not watch her do it. So it obviously did not happen. I just got off the phone with the store that sent it. The owner will be in at 2pm. I am going there to explain the situation to her and see what can be done. I know BassChump soes not want to file a claim because that would mean another 2 weeks minimum of being off the water. Plus, with it being a used trolling motor (I do not have any proof of value since it was a gift) they would probably not even pay enough to purchase another used trolling motor. This burns me up. I could have drug that thing behind my truck and it would have arrived in better condition than that. Once again, I am sorry for all of the hassle.

Sorry to hear that man. I had them box it up at the FedEx store since I did not have a box big enough. I am not sure if it had insurance on it, but I will check into it on Monday. I was hoping that you would post that you caught a boat load of fish.

I am just glad I was in a position to help out. Sorry it took so long to get it shipped out, but you should have it by the weekend. Enjoy!
