I just googled RB 26 fuse holder and found listings on both ebay and Kijiji for them. Hope that helps. 

Thanks Cliff.  I did check ebay prior to posting this, however, I must of used different wording as it did not generate what I was looking for.  Will scout out kijiji as well then.

I was wondering if anyone has or know where I can get my hands on the following, not the fuse's but the cartridge that holds them.

Boca may be the more expensive but they are also the best and will pay for themselves in the long run over cheaper ones. With the cost of reels these days it's worth it. I worked on a lot of aircraft fan assemblies and there was one in particular that needed to be overhauled after 100 hours. Well someone in purchasing decided to buy a cheap version of the same bearing and those motors started coming in to the shop with failures after 50-60 hours. So I went to my boss and he made sure that purchasing went back to the much more expensive bearings and there were no more issues with failed bearings. You'll never regret buying a quality product in the long run.

I used Boca for my Zillion, ABEC-5, and it is considerably improved.  Should of got the 7's but oh well.  Yeah I was just thinking of upgrading bearings on less expensive reels.  But your point is well taken for sure.  Especially in your line of work!  Thanks.

Hey, was curious if anyone knows of any alternatives to Boca Bearings?  If anyone has looked into them, they know they are good but also very expensive.  So I am hoping someone knows of a cheaper brand, but still holds up to quality.  I did order some ABEC-7 Hybrid ball bearings from AliExpress.  Will see how they perform.  

Thanks Dave, will look into that.

Looking to unload some wood carving birds and nature prints.  I inherited from my dad and looking to see if anyone knows of appraisal sites or ideas of other avenues to get an idea how much they are worth.....?  Thank you.

Both reels are new in box and rod is brand new in sleeve with tags on it.  Prices listed are asking price, no low baller's.  Pics upon request.

Yeah what Ironmaker said, can't go wrong with Telegraph Narrows by the lighthouse.  We usually trolled tail-dancers or minnow raps. Usually the first place I would go as it has always produced fish.  Especially eaters.  Good luck.

That is extremely sad news to hear! Even though I did not personally know Joey, I did have to privilege to fish with her a couple times in at Lakair years back. She seemed like an awesome lady and just loved to fish! So sorry for the sad news. My condolences to you and her family.

Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks for the info Lape, much appreciated. I think I would cry if a pike bit me off with one of those on. Haha

Already thinking of soft water fishing. I keep seeing video's of guys using the Megabasss Vision 110's and catching lots of fish with them. Given the price point of these lures I was looking at picking one or two Megabass Vision 110's. For experienced users of this jerkbait, what top 2 colours would you recommend for the Kawartha area?

As well, noticed the Rick Clunn Luck E strike STX jerkbaits have a very similar profile. Any comparison between the two?

Thanks

Personally I have had best results with Suffix Performance Braid. Casts awesome.

Does anyone know if the Frogg Toggs are available in-store for Canadian BPS's?

The link appears to not exist Bill. The key is definitely to get under 1.5 while trolling in most conditions. I seen the kicker at bps, definitely looks different,

My brother is looking at getting a kicker for his 2013 Legend, 20' with a 150 on it. He is torn between a pro kicker and a regular 9.9 motor. I would think a regular 9.9 would do, however, I am sure there is a reason why they make a motor that is strictly meant as a kicker. Any advice for one or the other?

Thanks

Thanks Duke for the info, we just need starting points with basic tips which you provided. Gonna have to pick up some jets. This is an all new type of fishing than I am used to, but looking forward to it. Thanks again Duke.

My brother has a slip at Port Dover Marina. I really haven't fished Lake Erie much in my life so I have no idea where to start? I am not looking for hotspots, just general area's, even depth's to look for.....Naturally we are targetting Walleye or Perch, either will do. He has a 2013 20' boat with a 150 on it, so we can make the rounds. Any general help with depths or locations and certain techniques would be helpful.

Thanks

False alarm, lol. I guess I should of read the fine print. The box contains everything but the actuall display. haha. I was hoping they mistakenly put the wrong price on... The old saying holds true.

I have the opportunity to purchase a Lowrance HDS 10, new in box, for $400. I believe it may be a Gen 1? Any experience with this unit and is it worth it?

Look at saltwater quality gear for what you are looking to do.

Both rods and reels.

If they can build gear that is up to the task of catching a 100# GT on giant topwater plugs tossed with spinning gear I think it will do what you want to.

Exactly how I think. I have a Fin-nor Inshore spinning reel, fantastic drag on it.

I went today and it wasn't bad, i enjoyed it actually. Not what it used to be but a good outing nonetheless.

Done and done

Fishing butler is great ,bought about 6.No complaints.Hows the banjo minnow working for any guys that have used them?.

Yeah, I have caught several Chinooks and browns on them in the Fall. Also caught several Largies with them too.

You have one resilient young lady there! I am absolutely amazed on everything she has been through! It's mind boggling! She is also very blessed to have amazing parents. Keep up the battle!
