  1. I had 4 days to roam the halls and check out the prices of everyone. There were some Fantastic deals to be had at every vendor's booth. Shimano Calcutta DC reels for $389. Thats a great deal. There were plenty others that I dont have time to list. This show is still a great show due to the fact that you have all your tackle in one place, you get to compare and shop around with clicking a mouse. You get to meet new people. You get away from the computer an get some excerise. I met some great OFNers as well as others. I especially liked how the Pros such as Dave and JP were talking with everyone. Pete Mania, Jim, etc were all interacting with everyone. Thats what I love to see. I did however really like the amount of Canadian products. Bassmagnet Lures, Rod Glove,Northam Fishing, Off the Dock toons, and countless others. All in all it was a great show from every aspect and cant wait for the next one
  2. Still you can never be to carefull. If you research the Pipe Bomb you will understand why. Think of it this way. You have 2 kids and a wife at home. You are a police officer and you see this just days before the olympics. What would you do risk being a macho here and leave you family behind or play it safe?

  4. Its good to see these guys out checking and charging. People were getting way to careless.

  11. Plano andf Berkley make a Tackle bait management system right now that works great. Yes their ice line does not work that great. Their Baits(Gulp) have been out fishing live bait for me anyways for a while now. Walleye/bass/perch/etc love the stuff. Email pure fishing with your displeasure

  19. I think everyone is missing the question. Not which braid to use but which size to match. . The rule usually is that you need to stick to the size comparasions. If you are using a 30lb braid that is equilivent to 8lb mono than use 8lb mono or 8lb floro. I never use a bigger size. I always use the matching size line for each use. As for braid. I have used them all and most are really the same. Stay away from the colored ones as it tends to bleed very much. Others will have to be maintained after every few trips. I usually cut off at least 1-2 ft depending on the breakdown of the product. I would not give merrit to just one as they all are good with some outperforming others in different techniques. I have been using Toray line now for some time and love it. I use their Floro, Braid,Mono,others. I also use Daiwa's braid and their new lines from 09. Alot of people dont do this but to effectively get the most out of braid. I buy rods and reels for just that use. Braid has no stretch so therefore you need to use a rod that will allow that stretch to happen or braid will dig into its self very quickly. once you have the right combo braid can be amazing. Remember also that braid is not for every technique. It will hinder alot of baits actions where todays high tech Mono or Floro lines should be used. Each person will give you their rendetion on what to use. Each answer will be right since its coming from the horses mouth so to speak. Choose the best one you can afford and go from there.

  22. Hey motion, I have these identical units and have had them for a few years now. I still use a 334 which is the previous model of the 522. I can walk you through it if you need it done. You can tag along with me one day if need be and I can show you how to do so. I have mine dialed in same as a flasher unit. Amazing response. The ice ducer is the major trick. The units tend to burp or hicup sometimes, still not sure why. These are better units as you have a GPS and you can record your trips as well as record your Sonar logs for future reference. If you have the manual, read the ice section. You can dial these in very good.
