      How are you setting up your baits? I take it your using roe bags.

    4. chefboi17

      chefboi17

      You should be able to use a jig head with a roe bag. I want to drop my marcum camera into a river at some point, I have a feeling it would be awesome on the right pool

  8. Any one know how to get rid of the feeling your on a boat long after your on shore after a rough day on the water?

      Good rod for the money. Perfect rod for the money it happens to have a Michigan handle?

    3. Freshtrax

      Freshtrax

      Unfortunately not. I have an old Spahr pin that weighs about a ton I'm hoping it will balance out well. I put my Sahara on it and it felt pretty tip heavy.

    4. Canuck2fan

      Canuck2fan

      Still a good deal though!!! Good strong rods with decent action.

  12. Anyone have a metal lathe? I need two real simple parts made. And shipping from Cali is 30 bucks.

      Must be a ford... mine snapped at 30K.. but had the help of some drunk whine hitting it and catching it on fire!

       

    3. irishfield

      irishfield

      Nothing today should be out of warrantee at 70K .. what exactly are you talking about as the message is cryptic

       

    4. Freshtrax

      Freshtrax

      Snapped a leaf in the spring pack. Not the main leaf the seccond one down. Only reason I noticed was the horrible klunking as it was sques off to the side and slapping the exaust hanger. Bumper to bumper till 60 k. Power train to 100k. Dealer said he has never seen one snap with so few km. replaced it as a defective part.

  16. Woohoo just bought my first house.
