  1. You just answered your own question. Braid does twist, but it doesn't have the memory like flouro/mono does. You can also very easily 'untwist' the last 15ft of line or su by pinching it with your fingernails.
  2. Great trucks, crappy frames, crappy mileage, bulletproof engines/trannies. That about sums up a Taco. If I were looking for a 'old' new truck, it would be a Sierra 1500, 5.7/4.8 with the 4L60/65E.. Will run forever with minimal worries.
  3. 12V systems will run higher amperage, so yeah 32amp isn't going to cut it.
  4. Bell does have great coverage, especially out in the not so popular areas. On our last fly-in it appears they extended their coverage north of the Sault (although spotty at best).. No complaints from me. Still crap service around Nipigon however :(Tbaytel only)
  5. He's not going to use it when he's trolling with the kicker, lol.
  6. 8 gauge should be fine... I'm guessing you popped a fuse somewhere.
  7. Should have bought the Minn Kota with the built in transducer However, mounting a standard transducer to the Minn Kota is cake.. Ziptie the line up, put it inside in the thick Minn Kota wire then run the wire to your mount.. I run a HB 747c upfront on the Lund, graph pops right off the mount, that's the only thing that's permanent.
  8. Been running VOIP ever since I bought my house (8 years ago).. No land lines here.
  9. They did, and they didn't like to warranty them either. One of the reasons you'll find all the Canadian Coast Guard boats powered by Yamaha this year
  10. It was one day out of warranty, you shouldn't be surprised it was covered..
  11. I'd trade all those stores for the green space we used to have there.
  12. Wait, don't we all fish 12 months a year? Winter isn't an excuse!
  13. Congrats to LA, glad we got back from our fly-in to catch game 5!!!
  14. Love it Ron, nothing crazy, super clean exactly what a IMX needs to be.
  15. I haven't had to replace a single part on any of my 3 Calais(s) yet... Take care of the reel and it should last you a looooooong time.
  16. This dumbass should be banned from fishing for life.
  17. I would guess another great white as well or possibly an Atlantic.
  18. I saw a fish follow weekend my boat partner didn't... swapped sunglasses and he saw them... Will he go out and buy a pair of Maui Jims? I dunno, but you won't find me buying anything else.
  19. Slow death hook, tiny piece of worm, maybe 2 inches long. Hold on.
  20. Had this happen the very first time I launched a boat with rollers. Luckily no damage, just a bruised ego (it ended up with the transom hitting the sand in about 6 inches of water. GREASED LIGHTNING! Now the strap only comes off when the boat is in the water All those years removing the strap/safety chain with bunks, it didn't even cross my mind.
