  1. I have both the veritas winch cranking rods. Great lightweight rods.
  2. I have bought two boats without a water test. As long as you look it over good, do a compression check and hear it run on muffs you shouldn't have any major issues. When I buy a used boat I always plan on going through the fuel system and giving everything else a through inspection.
  3. I have 10lb seaguar invizx on my medium cranking set up, and 12lb on my medium heavy cranking set up. Switched to the flouro for the added strength. I can usually pull snags right out with the 10lb. I like the seaguar red label too for cranking, slightly better abrasion resistance than the invizx.
  4. I cleaned up on the local river system with the deep model last year. Craw and shad colors. Fished on 10lb flouro they have awesome action. Musky seem to love them too, caught three while bass/walleye fishing. They deflect really well off the small round rocks in the river I fish.
  5. I just picked up my winter project on Sunday. A 95 bullet 20xd. It needs a good cleaning, carpet, and the wiring cleaned up.
  6. I fish the Wisconsin river quite a bit. Right up by the dams seems to hold more white bass, walleye, and musky. The good smallmouth fishing starts a mile or so below the dam. My favorite all around River bait is a keitech fat swing impact on a 1/8 oz jighead or a tube with a 1/4oz jighead
  7. I sell subarus for a living. The 2700 pound capacity is for a 6 cylinder model, and the trailer should really be equipped with brakes. I think your boat is definitely pushing it for an outback.
  8. Do you have any pics/info on the vacuum box?
  9. It can certainly be done. I fish out of a 1984 17' ranger. I paid 3k for it in running condition. I have spent another 3,000 on electronics, trolling motor, power pole, and rebuilding the trailer. I figure when the hull starts falling apart I can move all my electronics and trolling motor and accessories to whatever I buy next.
  10. I own both. I pick up the e6x every time over the mojo. The tapers g loomis uses seem to have a much crisper cast. They are also a better balanced Rod than the mojo.
  11. Stopped at the dsg by my work, got a few packs of senkos and hula grubs. 8.50 a pack. Still a decent deal at buy one get one.
  12. I own two g loomis rods, one current e6x, and an older imx, both 843 models. The imx is definitely more sensitive, and is lighter as well. I haven't had an issue with reel seats loosening up on either.
  13. The other option is to simply remove the decals on your non damaged cowl and order the 2016 decals.
  14. I catch a lot of river walleye on the ned rig, as well as a keitechs on plain jigheads. Suspending jerk baits can be deadly in the right conditions too.
  15. I ordered some from Siebert, the price seemed very reasonable for the quality over the zman jigs. I will post a side by side pic when I get them.
  16. Suspending jerk baits, and blade baits. Tried the vault for the first time yesterday, caught some real pigs on it.
  17. I mostly fish the zoom 3.75" tubes. I pour my own standard style tube jigs. I pour on the matzou Aberdeen sickle hooks. They are extra sharp and can be straightened out if snagged. I use 4/0 or 5/0 depending on the weight of the jig.
  18. 1. Zoom Tubes in green pumpkin 2. Zoom super fluke in pearl 3. Zman Finesse trd
  19. I primarily fish two jerk baits, the storm twitch stick, and the Rapala shadow rap. The twitch stick is an awesome bait, the bigger size casts and mile and has a rolling action similar to a pointer for 1/3 the price. They come with decent hooks too. The shadow rap in deep and shallow are my favorite river jerkbait. Silver and Carbon have worked the best for me.
  20. Trim: there is an up and a down solenoid. They are typically located on the side of the motor that the trim switch is located on. Jump the two posts on the solenoid with a screw driver to see if it goes up or down. If so you just need a solenoid. The solenoid a tend to wear out more than the trim Motor.
  21. I recently bought a used chronarch ci4 that is in desperate need of some new knobs. Are the shimano handles compatible with any other brands of knobs at all? Is there any other shimano handles that are longer that can be swapped on?
  22. Scatter rap deep in any of the craw colors has been an awesome producer for me. It seems to be a great all species bait too, have caught saugers, walleye, pike and musky on them.
  23. I fish my senkos on a medium heavy fast action rod, and use Owner wacky hooks, all that is needed is a sweep of the rod tip in my experience.
  24. Night crawlers or leaches on a jig or slip bobber work well, I have been catching the on the ned rig recently too.
  25. I sell Subarus for a living, they make awesome vehicles. I had a 2005 legacy gt, it was my favorite vehicle I have ever had, I had to sell it to buy my current truck, it was a sad day. Get two large hose clamps and put them around the front and rear of the heat shield, that is a really common issue with all of them. Charlie
