TroutnMuskieHunter

My problem was a little different....The spot weld where the body of the reel welds to the base of the reel broke off as I was grabbing my rod out of the Salty rod holder to land a Muskie....user induced???---> possibly but they replaced it for free

Mike, I had an issue with my 3 year old C3 6500 reel last year and went through the crap you're facing with Pure Fishing tech support here in Canada.... I decided to try the US location and it was like dealing with another totally different company ...I dealt directly with the support person who does the reel repairs and after discussing my frustration with how my "reel" blew apart, she gave me an RMA# and told me to send it back for repair at "no charge"....she ended up sending me a new reel!! It's worth the try....here's the info: Pure Fishing USA 1900 18th Street Spirit Lake, IA 51360 Phone: Tel: 1.800.228.4272

Congrats on the new ride!! ....I bought my new/used ride last year so I know exactly how you feel..soft water will come quick enough

Thanks for the super video and what a great classic tune!! ...you guys are killin' me!...I had knee surgery in January and have to lay low (wife's orders) until soft water comes around which hopefully will be early this year!!! Keep the trout posts coming lads!!!...

Awesome Laker bud!!....I'll take one of those "tough" days anytime!!...congrats

Awesome video Dave.....1256

Sorry I didn't see this post earlier Wayne....Maria and I send a our prayers to your daughter for a quick and healthy recovery!! What a strong, tight family you have! Take care Bud!

Sorry to hear about your loss Brian!....My wife and I are dog lovers too and know exactly what you and your family are going through as we've lost 3 of our boys over the years...

I've narrowed the choice down to the Cannon Mag 10 HS Downrigger and the Walker Tournament Electric Downrigger... Thanks for all the feedback guys..

Thanks for all the replies guys!....I guess I'll do a bit more research and spend a little more on something that will last.....what are the advantages of using a longer arm (4')??

Does anyone have any reviews or experience with the Scotty 1106 Depthpower Electric Downrigger?? I'm starting to look at various brands and models and would like to hear what other OFC'ers have had good success with and/or recommend purchasing...

Merry Christmas to you and your family as well!

Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year!!

Al, Give Stacy a call at ProTackle in Bellville....he had lots of Frabils last week. I just picked up some hyflex runners for mine... http://www.protacklemuskyshop.com/newsshow.php?id=117

Do your research and don't be afraid to call Canada Customs directly to talk to an agent...I bought my boat in New York last April and there were no horror stories encountered at all...I was in and out of the Canadian Border Crossing office at 1000 islands within 14 minutes!!

ah...the good old days

He's livin' the good life Wayne....wish it was me up there

Another fat beast ....congrats again Dale!...you and Sal are Hard Core for sure!

Georgeous fall fatties!!!....thanks for sharing!

I've been able to get out to most lakes the past couple of years with this setup...if the snow is too deep for the bike, I have an old 91 Polaris 500 Classic that gets me around...
