Ditto Hootie

Do whole topics get removed? Was reading and commenting on one in another section and it completely disappeared. I have seen them locked, but never removed Hootie

Was that a shot?.......lol Hootie

Glad to hear that. Hope you are right. Matter of fact, I'm betting you're right. Thanks, Hootie

Yes, took the clip off, looked good. Scraped the battery post, even though it didn't look like it needed it. This morning at home, I removed both clips stripped the wire again, and soldered both back to the clips. Before the wires were just jammed in and the clips crimped over the wires. Thought maybe it wasn't making a good connection, and maybe that was the problem. Wont be able to try it out till Saturday. Hootie

I am not sure I am posting this in the right section. Yesterday while running my trolling motor, the negative cable began smoking right at the battery. Let me explain, I fish from a small rental boat and the motor connects to the battery with clips, like the ones on a battery charger. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Hootie

Agreed. I have 6 Lews TSS's, and 2 Chronarch 200E 6's. Both AWESOME reels. I am not loyal to brands, but I sure am good to myself! On the other hand, I am partial to my Dobyns rods. Hootie

When someone is really dedicated to a certain product, like Capt. Bob, with his St. Croix rods, or LMG with his Shimano reels, it may be they know what they are talking about. LMG, over and over with those reels, convinced me to take a look. I wound up with 2 Chronarchs. Couldn't be happier with them. Experience has got to count for something. Hootie

Opinions are like..........well you know the rest. I think, one thing I have come to realize in my 67 years, is that people know that they are entitled to their own opinion and they are happy with that. But what really irritates some people, is the fact that they aren't entitled to your opinion also. Hootie, Waxing philosophical. lol

I too, use the garlic spray. I always spray a little on my hands before I start fishing. Smelly hands problem solved. Would NOT do that with the crawfish, or shad spray though. YUCK!!! Hootie

How long does it take for turnover to complete once it starts. For the record I am talking about a small lake of 150 acres. Thanks, Hootie

The Savvys are great rods. I have 4 of them. That's what made me want to jump up a notch just to see. Never owned a $200.00+ rod in my life. This thing is really sweet. I might be in line for another one for Christmas. Someone please forward this to my wife. lol Hootie

Just got it about an hour ago. Really looks great. Had it out in the back yard. Love it. The lake tomorrow. Hootie

OUCH!! Double OUCH!!!!! Hootie

Spinnerbaits, spinnerbaits, and oh, did I mention spinnerbaits! Hootie

Wrong answer, or wrong question. Splain Lucy! Hootie

Got a new Dobyns Champion 683C MH coming. Fedex says by 3:00 PM today. Going to be my jig rod. Will be on the lake tomorrow. Can't wait. Hootie

I know what you are saying. My 200E's were and still are a wee bit noisy, but those 50E's are just too much. They sounded like junk. I don't know, maybe they were both from a bad batch. Hootie

I'm returning my second Chronarch 50E today for a refund. They both sound like coffee grinders on retrieve. Exchanged once, second one sounded the same. Flat don't like em. Have 2, 200E's, and they are great. Just don't understand it. Hootie

Lews, TP, TSS, SS. You had to know I was going to throw that in there LMG. lol Hootie

HELLO!..........Oh, never mind, it's Saturday. Hootie

Just wondering, do any of you folks ever cut the weed guard off of your jigs. The reason I ask is because I just bought some new jigs, and they have wire weed guards. Already stuck myself twice. If I had noticed this before, I don't know if I would have bought them. Hootie

Sure, I've said it, but I lie a lot. Hootie

Give a man a Chronarch, and he may never eat again. He'll love it so much, he will always be fishing. lol Hootie

You are right LMG. By the way, I am leaving to go fishing in about 20 min. Have a great day guy! Hootie
