And for the low price of $75 a rig it can all be yours.......although I have seen some knockoffs for considerably cheaper.

44 on sturgeon today, got out for a couple hours and boated one small muskie, probably around 33-34". Heavy chop with those winds, made it difficult to cast but got to test my new prop out, 25" tempest plus.....big improvement over the laser II!

practice in your yard, thats how I learned. set up some targets and practice, practice, practice! you should be able to pitch a half ounce jigs no problem, lots of weight.

here we go again....... tell him to call the cops, by the time they get there you'll be long gone anyways and he'll look like an idiot.

50 lb braid all the way. Tried flouro a few years ago....then tried it again this year....and keep going back to braid. If the water is clear I'll tied on a 20 lb flouro leader material (seagar) and have never had a problem with it yet. Don't use 17 lb flouro as a leader when flippin docks and stuff, I learned the hard way.....

thanks for the replies guys, the cable isn't broken, just a strand. I just wanted a spare for when it eventually does happen, I can do the repair on the lake and not waste a trip. I'll check that place out in pickering, thx.

Where can I find a spare steering cable for my Minnkota trolling motor? Not sure the year, but it's a 74 lb thrust 24 volt maxxum. I know Rockey tackle in orillia will have one, just wondering if there was a place closer to bobcaygeon. Thx

Same type of thing happened to me and my new extreme baitcast reel....a few drops of oil in the bearings and it made all the difference in the world. I have also bought reels used and taking them apart to find grease in the bearings....not oil! Lots of other good thoughts here too.

I used to use these 20 years ago when I was a kid, we used to call them "weed walkers", great little bass bait. I heard they're suspose to be dynamite in scugog for walleye along weed edges....

I can't believe nobody has that scale on Big Bass Battle. My scale is done, screen cracked, reads different weights on the same thing everytime I weigh, and screen is difficult to read. All the guys were on me about it, so it's definetly time. Anyways, I guess I'll just keep looking....

Well I think it's time to get a new scale. I'm pretty sure mine is out of calibration, and I run a small fishing club and need an accurate scale. I seen a pretty cool one on Big Bass Battle, that show on WFN, that beeped when it was done getting a weight. This would be perfect so we're all not waiting for the scale to stop moving and just "calling it". I think it was a berkley scale but not sure. Does anyone have one of these scales or know which one I'm talking about? Thanks

Good point mercman, I just took an ice safety course through work and this was one of the points the instructor stressed can cause ice failure. Another big one was rotting vegetation, and anyone that knows goose bay knows about all the rotting vegetation, and it was mentioned about springs which is a big one on a lake that hasn't been travelled too much before in the winter. I have a buddy that lives on Scugog, and he knows the areas where the springs are and steers clear of them. I think it's gonna take some time to learn the ice conditions for all these new kawartha lakes that are open for the hardwater now.

Just driving home last night and seen Paul has the sign changed to "We accept Bass Pro Gift Cards". Might be handy for someone who doesn't want to make the trip down to vaughn. Unfortunetly, I used all mine allready from xmas

Anyone ever had any luck with them using them as deadbait? My buddies swear by it but I've tried it for lakers and haven't had any luck. Theres a few runs around the minden area, lots of smelt lakes up there.
