Working on a new minnow bait. 1.5" long

Really impressive work Brian !!

Yes that would work.

Wrapped the front of the shank with 8 wraps of .020 lead free wire to get a balance .

Best kind there b'y

I usually leave it to the customer to ask Bill. However if I'm using a lower grade cork at the request of the customer that requires some filler I always use a sealer afterwards.

Sorry to some of the guys here; but the OP didn't ask for opinions of 12 volt verses 24 volts. OP asked, if the way he's wired his 12 volt batteries was a good way to do it. Yes (IMHO) it is probably the best way of getting the most out a 12 volt system. As for charging the batteries, just use the one bank of the charger for the two that are connected in parallel and the other bank to charge the starting battery; assuming you have one? As Shane (Sinker) said it will take longer to recharge the TM batteries; but 6-10 hours at 10amps should bring them back to full. Every fisher needs to sleep sometime. LOL So plug in the charger; let your Toddy of water, honey, cinnamon and your favorite whiskey warm and enjoy. Knowing the batteries will be happy and ready to go in the morning. Dan.

This one will be a while for me to beat. It's definitely the heaviest rainbow I have ever caught.

On a serious note here, I have met a few lake front owners, and have asked if they would mind if I parked my truck in their drive, They had no issues. I even gave a bottle of wine or what ever their drink fancied . Have even offered a feed of my catch. Sometimes just carrying a conversation with a local, is all it takes. I have a place to park my truck if need be. Being polite goes along ways.
