  1. Monkey Butt here also.
  2. You can get a lemon with any brand, I never had trouble with a Minn Kota.
  3. One thing to check on is if you are running the right recommended plug. My boat was having starting problems. I looked in the manual and found out that I was running a different plug than recommended. I changed out to the right plug and it made a huge difference. When all else fails, read the instructions !!!
  4. When in doubt, set the hook !!!
  5. Congrats, looks great !!!!
  6. I use mono on my cranking reels. I usually change out line twice a year or if it is getting low on the spool. I use Sunline Super Natural.
  7. Mono is the only line I have ever used, did try FC but didn't like it. Like others have said, diameterin of the line is the factor in how deep a crankbait dives. Seems like most people are concern with cranks running deeper. If you want it to run deeper, use a different crank to run the depth you want.
  8. I changed out my Bandit crankbaits to the Mustad KVD Elite hooks, rarely loose a fish. I also use a glass rod with med. action for my shallow running cranks.
  9. So they can sell you different versions. I agree, the rattles are useless.
  10. That's what I use, works great. I mostly use it on the small fish that has been caught with treble hooks.
  11. Very nice, classic boat. Hope you enjoy it.
  12. I am with the 6'6" M/F crowd. I got a Falcon Lowrider that works great for topwater/jerkbait.
  13. Junebug and Green Pumpkin, I figure is they aren't biting these two colors, they are not biting anything else.
  14. Congrats on the boat. I believe $2500 is a great price. Getting it cheaply will allow you to fix the little things and add improvements. Now, go catch some fish.
  15. I have been using Bandits since they came out, still my #1 crankbait. I wait until they are on sale and buy a bunch of them. I will use them at some point.
  16. The t is the first letter of my first name,ander is the first 5 letters of my last name.
  17. Doesn't matter what color you throw as long as it's green pumpkin or junebug.
  18. For EWG hooks I use a side sweeping hook set, for round bend hooks, I use the upward swing. Power doesn't set the hook, speed does. I use a 2 handed hook set when I use the round bend hooks, it is kind of like popping a whip.
  19. I love Suline, have the fc and mono on most reels but I have 40# Power Pro on my frog/carolina/pitching rod and have never broke it.
  20. Use Pitbull Cutters. They are a little pricey but worth it. Have no idea on the Powell Rods.
  21. There are bigger fish but I wouldn't complain with 2 and 3 pounders.
  22. I use glass/graphite rods for my crankbaits so I assumme it would be moderate.
  23. You need to use whatever suits you. I use braid/fc leader on my spinning, mono on my topwater and crankbait, and FC on my worm/spinnerbait.
  24. Like other said, Z Man floats the hook. Theirs is called ZinkerZ. All their baits that is made with ElaZtech will float. Strike King makes one also, it is the same worm as the ZMan worm.
