and thank YOU for YOUR service!

LOL Old school ice fishers know what I am talking about. Catch some perch and pop an eye ball out and put on a hook. It worked all the time. Even herring eye balls. I hooked up with a fella that makes rubber eye balls, Off The Dock baitz. Sent me a couple of packs to try out what I had visioned. Karma was sent back with some of my creations. Looking forward to giving these a go. The treble is on a fast clasp. That way if the eye ball get worn out or ripped off,you just remove the hook,slide another eye on the shank,hook back on the fast clasp and down it goes. The drop line is 10lb floro. Figured if you get a bigger fish,it will hold. I hope. The line is triple wrapped back and forth on the shank,so it will not pull out. I may need to try on some herring and whities before the late ice perch slay starts.

Thank you very much. I certainly would have never figured that out on my own. If and when I ever catch something worthy of posting I will do that.

Just watched the history of Lund on the fishing network. Great show. 75years of fishing boat. They said Mr. Pike was the change to a real fishing machine.

You remind me of when I was a kid I had a creepy crawler maker with the hot plate and the melted plastics that I still have scars from. The joy of pouring them and the steam when you dipped them in water to kind of cool them off. The smells and the end result were what drove me to make another one. Very nice work on the bugs cheers Art

They look sweeeeet!

Wow

Hi From your post, I'm not sure which Mercury outboard engine you are trying to connect to a NMEA 2000 network. Most Mercury engines require a NMEA 2000 Gateway interface. This interface converts Mercury engine and systems data to the NMEA 2000 standard. This is not just a NMEA 2000 cable and that's why it's more expensive than just a cable. I have not heard of an aftermarket or less expensive option and I doubt that we will ever see one.
