Picked this up for when I am deep in the water and need to take a photo of a good catch. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08GHKMR82/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=917aad04a4d111eda421f614d5ddb5b20INT&th=1

They were $1.65 per pair. I got 4 pairs for about $7

This will not last long. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BF4TVTLC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Got mine today also. The spool comes with a plastic case like some JDM lines. I got some 12lb and tested the breaking strength like I always do with a new line. Breaks were in the line, not at the knot at between 11-12lbs. Thats good for me. I will use it. Doesn't seem too stretchy so it may be good for me. I don't like rubber band fluoro. I have ready that it may not be great with abrasion resistance, but I don't fish lakes with a lot of rock.

KastKing has 200-Yards KastKing Kovert Fluorocarbon Fishing Line on sale for $1 when you apply discount code CM1 during checkout. Shipping is free.

I am looking for an electric steering unit for my new boat build. Either the Panther or the Python unit would work. Hoping someone has a used one or knows where I can get one. Due to Covid, I cannot seem to find one in stock. I anyone has any thoughts or a unit they can sell, shoot me a PM.

North Forks Composits often deeply discounts their blanks several times per year. Most recently they were $125 for X-Ray and 60-75% off the HM, IM and others. You might sign up for their email notifications to know when the sales happen. Also, try the delta blanks for moving bait builds. I got a few for under $40 and they are really good, for me. Delta CB-7106 is great for deep cranks, heavy chatterbaits and med spoons.

I got a pair of super light-weight, breathable sun pants from amazon. 95% polyester, 5% spandex. Cross between light gym pants and PJ bottoms. Got them in gray to reflect the sun. Wet myself down when hot. Not the Columbia ones, they are too hot.

I have used the eco-pro tungsten wacky weight. It gives a good way to hook the worm and also provides a little weight under the worm for less salted baits, like zman and some finesse worms. https://ecoprotungsten.com/collections/terminal-tackle/products/eco-pro-tungsten-wacky-weights I have used paper clip wire to fashion the same shape and weight with lead wire to save a few bucks with the same results.

UPDATE: I may have been too harsh. Finatic responded to my email and said they will send out the items from my order. They agreed that they made a mistake. Once I get them in hand, I will delete my "beware" comments.

I ordered some fluoro and braid from Finatic. I just go the package and it had only one item in it that I did not order. I tried to call the number on their facebook page and it it not a working number. Beware. I will try to work this out with them, but as of right now, they are either a scam or very poor at customer service.

I use a Elco 20 which is a large electric outboard for electric only reservoirs. Top speed is about 10 mph. High speed safety is not an issue with a stick steer in this application. My boat has all my graphs, 3 x Solix 15, mounted up front since I do not have a console. I am putting a remote electric steer to eliminate the stick steering box and also let me move back when making long runs for maximum efficiency. Battery powered boats are all about weight and efficiency.
