I always carry my F05 Rainbow Trout Rapala's when going to any pond. The bass and bream just can't help themselves they've got to eat it. It's almost like cheating.?
My 1448 will run 4.3 mph and handles great with my 80 lb Terrova. I have 3 group 31's, floor, casting deck, and a 25 hp on it so it's not light weight. Stability wise the decked 1448 is about the same as my 1436 with the lower seating(no deck). Big wide open windy lakes I take the 1448 and smaller protected lakes I take the 1436 with the 55 lb Terrova.
Bought me a 10' flat bottom, paddle, and 10 lb anchor for $75 at 14. My daddy came home one day and said he'd seen a jon boat at a yard sale and the guy only wanted $75 for it, which just happened to be how much I'd saved up. So he drove me and I purchased my dream boat. I fished the little boat to death. I didn't know for 15 years the guy had actually wanted $125 and my daddy had already paid him $50 and ask the guy to not tell me.
Threw the S- Waver 168 and 200, 145 Slide Swimmer and Giganterel for 5 hours Sunday in 55 - 58.5 degree water Sunday. Couldn't even draw a follow, but we've had record precipitation and it's a bit stained up, on a typically clearish lake. Picked up the Ned and caught 7 in 2.5 hours in grass from 3' to 15' with big one being 4.91. Got to fish what they want and not what we want to catch them on.
I picked up a couple Curado 70's a few years ago that had the same problem. I contacted Shimano and was told they had a run of thin spacers and sent me new spacers. Installed and they worked properly.
Find a bow fisherman with good lights to take you out at night. I've shot 17' Gizzard shad at night that I'd never seen in the daylight. Now I throw big shad baits.
Seaguar Red label. All spinning is braid to leader. Tried the higher end fluorocarbons and didn't see the performance gain to justify the cost difference.
Options are 2 hours in a dehydrator, 10 minutes in the clothes dry(high), 63 seconds in the microwave, or just don't fret and fish it. You could have the section of hook that's gonna be inside the plastic powder coated. Just think how long that section will last stuck on the lake bottom between 2 rocks.
Slow down & then slow down more. Get intimate with a body of water that has a big fish in #'s. Fish high percentage places, not where you caught 10, 12, or 15 two lbers.
Iaconelli has multiple personalities. I like Ike and he's a great fisherman that shares his knowledge. His behavior seems to be determined by what he's participating in , YouTube video, tournament, seminar, etc.
