Fisherman

Have to agree, it's horrible.

Nothing like being frugal, how about a couple of feet of 5/16 or 3/8ths bunjey cord, a double overhand knot at each end. I thing mines about 10 years old now.

Ok, someone out there has to be able to convert Lew, at least for one memorable trip.

Somebodys smokin some bad stuff at the Weather Net.

Ok, so what happened, the screws loosen off on the reel foot or was it maybe a weak spot weld? I've got an ABU that's brought in countless salmon, almost 20 years old. No problems.

Boat = Break Out Another Thousand. Maybe just the relays clicking.

I can give you a real life experience. We have a couple of 2007 450s at work, excellent machines, one has 10,000km, the other is just behind that. Neither has had any major work, only the annual, grease and oil and a couple batteries. All winter they are both used to plow our parking lot. Summer time used for tearing around the woods. I have my own 2009 550 Grizzly with electric power steering. That alone is work every penny, no effort when riding through the tough stuff, no kickbacks at all.

Well that's funny as hell, even their dealer locator doesn't show anyone carrying the product.

How about welding on a couple of 12 inch circular saw blades, that'll give ya some traction..

Come on Brian, a little warm hug and you'll bring him right back to life..

He asked where, not who

Probably posted on the door with the reflection off the glass would cause that.

Little bit more weight on the wheels.

OP also said he got another new battery with the same result. Most likely bad wiring/contact points.

A few months.. You heading south..

Anti seize = anti hammer.

Hahahaha, Ok, I'm probably right up there with ya, where did I put this, where's my *&@#* minnow net. Minnow towel, etc, etc.

Awesome stuff.

Oh boy, someones in for some whoop

Taxi... Add 15% exchange, etc, etc. Or you can go here and get it for:http://www.cabelas.ca/product/62063/13-fishing-black-betty-ice-fishing-reel Don't know if its the same one.

Happy Birthday Lew, best of health for you and the Mrs. Enjoy the early snow.

Why? 2.77:1 return , not the fastest but at least you don't have a birds nest between your feet on the ice.

More boogers and snot sneeze on those magazines than there' ink. I bring my own.

I think the biggest thing is to avoid the places (within reason) where you're going to catch the bug, high occupancy areas. Shopping malls, etc. I go in the off hours.
