Whatever line is on my reels from last year (Sans the 832, lol).. Love braid for topwater, never had an issue with loose line on the reel..

I use my Saros 1000 for everything. Specs, walleye, icefishing, etc.. Hasn't let me down yet, wouldn't trade it in for a Pfluger.

Streamside for sure.

You wait until you hook into a 10lb hot chromer.. It will be up for sale after it breaks you off in the wood! :)

I usually bring two batteries with me.. I'll get about a day and a half from a fully charged battery.

The Raven IM6 I had as my first rod was a wet noodle, I didn't have it very long.

Sure, it's not a true EV...

Let's not start killing mud puppies, lol

You lug around 70lb batteries while icefishing? The portable case I linked about comes with the 7a gel battery and charger... Stick with that.

The chase is definitely addicting.. I put the 788ci back in the boat and am running the 747c for the rest of the winter. high res of the 788ci makes even the 'ultra' chart speed slow and not close to real time. Not an issue with the 747c...

This is a great tool I use to resize my images if I'm doing a big batch.. http://www.fotosizer.com/

Aaron, you could probably make a few bucks out there on Sat directing traffic! Bring your STOP sign :)

The best was when it was held at the International Center on Dixon Rd. That used to be an annual event for the oldman and I when I was a kid.. Deals everywhere! Now? Not so much....

Unless your transducer is easily removed, just get the Iceducer from Humminbird.

I know where I'm not going this weekend, lol!

Only thing you gotta do is set the chart speed to ultra, set your beam and dial down the sensitivity depending on how many thousand of flashers are around you, lol

587 will work just fine with the Humminbird portable ice pack. I use my 747c and 788Ci out on the ice without issue. http://radioworld.ca/gps-accessories-accessory-kits-ptc-u-p-6273.html

Right click on photo while in Windows > Send to Mail recipient. It will ask you if you want to resize.. Select the size you want, copy the pics back out of the email and bingo! Simple resizing in less then 10 seconds Then upload the photos to Photobucket and copy the IMG information into your thread.

LOL!! To be honest, I'd rather watch junior hockey then the NHL! Cheap seats and some of the best hockey around.

No point in worrying, I can't do anything to change the outcome

Penn makes some great reels that really stand up to abuse.

Probably my St.Croix 7ft M Avid + Shimano Calais 200.

50lbs per person, Eddie is good about flying in beer beforehand (he did with us)

No need to fix things if they aren't broke. The Leafs are just fine with the way things are.

Mike, if this truck is out of province this SCREAMS scam... Be careful! (Unless you personally know the seller)
