I dipped Copenhagen natty until my dentist said pouches won't hurt my gums and teeth as much so switched to grizzly pouches. Here in GA, dip is nothing of thought for minors legally. I dip around and with cops all the time. Dip is just common down here and northerners will never see it in the volume it is here. I love our cops in my county for the most part. Paid for ones order behind me at the drive through last night. I know a bunch of em. Only 1 I don't like.

I have a minn Kota transom mount, just put it on the back if you fish alone, you can use the front space to stand and for rods.

I can't be the only fisherman who likes America's favorite plant. Where y'all from and what are ya dippin?

If someone has dirty shoes they have to put them in the bed of my truck. I do the same if my shoes get dirty at work. I spend too much time and money on my truck to let it get dirty.

If I get 6 years out of a 600 dollar boat, I'll be happy. I'm gonna use the sucker.

Stop using that stupid font it's giving me headaches.

That's a sweet set up, first thing I need to do is get my boat cleaned, prev owner sat it outside for a little while and it got some gunk in there, gonna have it looking new this weekend. Got the bottom nice and muddy at a shallow boat launch tonight lololol.

Great full time fluke rod

The only reason I like Shimano over eceryone else is they aren't gaudy, and they're the diesel truck of fishing reels. Last forever. The 3rd gen Revo STX felt cheap and had too much chrome.

Guys it's also more time consuming to get the boat out of the garage etc. If I'm fishing all day I take the boat the pelican lets me fish after school and work and not need to worry about much maintenance.

Ok I made up my mind after last night, love the boat as long as its just me in it. Gonna add another trolling motor maybe and find a way to secure 3 rods.

I am gonna have to get it, easy to fish alone and load into my truck. Going to have the bottom spray bedlined so I can drag it to my hearts content.

Yes, 600 for the boat, no battery, no 50lb trolling motor. I don't like Kayaks or Canoes, I like to stand up and flip and pitch, another thing the pelican would do is get me into tighter spots I can fish, a kayak is a no go.

A weightless Senko, with a 4/0 EWG, and a leader with a small barrel swivel is one of the easiest baits to sling for me, very aero dynamic, once you get good with your baitcasting you can get the spool pretty free and throw any soft plastics really, and a 50e Chronarch or Curado makes small cranks the easiest thing ever.

I can't afford to spend more and get less when fish rip the hell out of all the craws I throw, I know they have a great action, but they probably spend as much on the packaging as they do the product. Put Rage Craws in a zoom bag and they'd be cheaper.

Ok guys, here's a little info on me. I'm 16, a Junior in High school, and have 2 jobs, I work between 4-6 days a week, my boss, who's been my friend for years prior to me working for him, has a pelican he is letting me fish with before I buy it, I used it for the first time today, and have it in my basement ready for use hopefully tomorrow. He wants 650 for the 10e, in pretty good shape, rarely used, and a Minn Kota Endura 50lb, and a deep cycle battery with plenty of life it seems. My dad owns a 14 ft V hull with a deck he built up front, foot controls, 50lb Endura's front and rear. But in my 2007 F150 SuperCrew with 6.5 foot bed, I have a hard time backing it up WITH the boat on the trailer, and flat out can't see the short tongue trailer empty, so using it alone isn't practical right now. He will let me, but I lose the enjoyment at the ramp. I live .5 miles from the lake I fish most, a private lake that nobody outside of the neighborhood can access. I like the ability to get the boat out of my truck and get on the water quickly, but it's cramped with a friend in the boat, as I found out tonight. I also like the ability to "sneak" into some resivours and other electric only lakes. (the only reason I can't get into them "legally" is because I am a minor, once 18 I can get it, my grandpa is water authority so there'd be no trouble if I got caught. Concerns. How do I bring 3-5 rods ? do ya'll mod these for more than one rod being secured, I have all my money into my Shimano's and I don't want anything to happen to them and they're all set up so I don't have to change lures often. I am just thinking, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get it, but what can I do to make fishing in such a small boat easier, I can't afford to get my own glass boat yet, because of gas costs mainly, towing to Oconee from where I live now would cost 60 in gas for the truck and probably more in the boat because I'd be spending 12 hours on the lake.. I know this is a good deal since the boat is 600, the Endura 50 is over 200 and the Marine deep cycle is like 120. So I am getting 920 bucks for 650 basically. Also, if I add another trolling motor to the front, would another 50 be too much for one battery? the rear 50 would be mainly the spot to spot motor, the front being a position keeping motor since these drift to much. Sorry if I rambled too much but I am 16 and love fishing and golf so saving money like this is awesome.

I like chigger craws. Rage tails are a rip off. The craw fatty is pretty cool too.

I have to snip all the whole knot off the lure once done, too many people leave some line.

I would dive after a core I can guarantee you that. Rush home, take it apart, dry everything, send to shimano. Honestly if you don't go in the water over a core you're filthy rich or lazy as hell.

I use 10lb fluoro on my 50E, usually small cranks, but I use Pop-R's at night with no issue.

Man I can't imagine taking that much of a hit on the boat, you will have pretty much paid 5 grand to use it for a year, IF you can get 15k this time of year.

Boca Bearings are a pretty solid rip off, you might get 10 yards, you have to set your brakes higher, and you deal with the finicky behavior, I can set my reels with 2 centri brakes and absolutely sling a lure, but it has to be something like a jig with a small trailer, smaller with weight. Plus they make the reel a bit louder, my 200E might get Boca's this winter just because it has some age to it now, but my brand new 50e will not.

I'd set up a good MH or H action rod, at least 7 feet, and put 20lb fluoro on it, could be used for jigs, heavy T rigs, even C rigs. I am not the type to set up a rod with 65lb braid for jigging, but I don't have nearly as much heavy cover.

Unfortunately once I resurfaced from my dive, I tipped my boat and all my found guns, and the guns I brought from home fell into the water, I was out of Oxygen and couldn't retrieve them, such a shame.

Shimano reels are infact made by Shimano.
