QUAKEnSHAKE

Ive been there a few times. Its hit or miss. Just go for the quietness weekday. Electric only-- Would go to Shab 1st. le-aqua-na For Shore fishing Four Lakes Winnebago county is ok but pressured

Well they made the stradic 1000 --graphite, weigh more, took away the extra spool, charge $20 more.

The only time I listen to country stations anymore is on Sundays. Sunday is when they play the Legends.

Ive been trying light cranks SK Bitsy Minnows (1/8rated-actual 1/12oz .0832) on a couple set-ups. 50E & JM Carbonlite reels and Smoke 7MF, LTB 69MLXF rods. The Smoke rod performs better by just about 5' with an avg of 40' by both reels. Guess a light/fast ModF powered cast rod would work better but dont have one.My spinning set-up will toss one 60'-65'

radio control vehicles, video games, ride bike, surf forums, play chess.

X2

I use Norman Speed Clips.

Is 3" still too big? FAT IKA and Damiki Hydras come in 3" size I use 4" size and 10"-15" size bass hit them. This on a 26 acre pressured lake.

Good catch You had the same types bites as me. I could see a couple of the bass as they bit and yes they grab the rear of worm and go. Had to wait a few, watch for gills to flare, or pull worm out.

Like $40 overpriced for sure, thats only a $10-$15 part in the radio control car/truck realm. I checked and two 108mm x 21mm x 2mm pieces for a vehicle, that acually look like a handle, were $4 ($2 each) add about 3-4 bucks each spindle hardware right at $12 add $3 for the offset process $15 total.

WOW WTGthat huge to what Ive caught. How that fight?

Symetre on sale $80 and saturday only sahara $50 in-store you could print ad and take to local store for price match. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/browse/bargain-cave-fishing-reels/_/N-1102770+4294771294/Ne-4294771294/Ns-CATEGORY_SEQ_105742980?WTz_l=SEO%3Bcat105591780%3Bcat105740280&WTz_st=GuidedNav&WTz_stype=GNU&sadid=44000000019154223

Well to me it would look correct. I did it here now the surface is on top where it should be where on display surface seems to be on the left.. Arrow points in direction out from me.

Why isnt the image/display turned 90 degrees right? I always want to tilt my head left to get my bearings so to speak.

I did more checking, your boat has the 1000 Denier fabric material I had a hunch and was correct you nead higher pressure than I need in my boat. Me I only need like 1.5psi my pump is rated 2.5. YOUR boat needs 3.2 psi you will need more powerful pump or have to use footpump to top-off. If you havent seen here is manual http://www.seaeagle.com/img/InstructionalPDF/FoldCats.pdf video

I like longer rods 7'6"-8' but if there is a deal to be had dont mind going shorter just got 6'9" rod and like it.

My boat I tried the footpump once and was a 20+ minute workout for me the electric pump 7minutes. A person in better shape could no doubt do it quicker. I still take the footpump with just incase the electric one goes out. I can be launched in 20-25minutes I looked at yours and they say 5minute set-up time the pontoons dont hold the amount of air my boat does.

I just got a 6'9"MLXF Legend Tournament had it out with senkos and so far extremely pleased with it. My favorite rod is Avid 8' ML Moderate rod. I always wanted a bit more backbone though but keep the soft tip the XF gave me just those attributes. The soft tip you can better feel pressure change of the senko as it gets taken. Too the give lets the fish swim a bit without undue resistance I feel this lets it keep the senko a bit longer instead of maybe spitting it out. I can still feel the tap tap bites but its the light pressure bites that is missed with my MF rods. The wiggle of the senko to me is more noticeable with the softer tip of XF and Moderate actions. The M vs ML power well thats up to you. I like/use ML cause lake has nearly 0 limbs, trees, structure to worry about just weeds. The fight is better with the fish I catch (not big size).and get a bit less rod weight.

I have a SeaEagle 124SMB with 55# tm it scoots nicely one should make your pontoon with less drag & weight really go. Try out your foot pump a few times to see how it goes but I went ahead and got a powered pump so much easier. While its doing the work you can do other things to get ready a bit of a time saver.

Bill I got the LTB dropshot but wont use it for that at all and the info Im giving you is on the LTB Im guessing the LEX characteristics will be very similar. Mine will be with wacky senkos mostly and I will use small jigs as well 1/8 Woody's jig w/ Baby RageTail and 3/16 SK BitsyBug BRT. I have used the mentioned jigs with an even lighter set-up 8'Avid ML Moderate rod the tip is softer than the LTB and has less backbone but use of the jigs worked well. LTB does have a little bit of a soft tip but recovers quick into a firmer backbone. I see no reason the same small jigs wont work better with the MLXF rod. What I dont know yet is the amount of backbone how much will be able to firmly pull with confidence my views are just initial impressions yanking on the rod. So if you're actually swimming the jig and not bottom bouncing dragging through heavy cover the MLXF should work. I think too I will throw small cranks1.0 KVD squarebill the soft tip should be enough absorber for those. I would say small spinnerbaits but I dont use those much. Not sure this is enough advise for you to pull the trigger.

Well your money goes to Croix and its Croixs choice to use them so by default fault goes to them. Like with NRX rod there is a glue/adhesion issue you dont blame the glue maker you blame Loomis/Shimano.

Under 10 just seem to have better luck with other presentations

Thats not dumb my Smoke rod has that and I like it as well fits nicely for palming reel.

Well my LTB rod just got dropped-off at 6pm I ordered it Thursday 10pm reg shipping that pretty good. Here a pick of the balance point with 50E on it.

Well splurge for the LEX. To answer about the NSI these are 2010 models WITHOUT the NSI. Oh the LEX is .6oz lighter and comes with a rod sack.
