  1. i had a great time at the show! picked up lots of cool stuff including some hosejerks, custom lures from bare bones baits and a couple frantic big game topwaters. i did get 2 twin tens for the price of 1 from figure 8 baits which was an awesome deal and a handlebarz that are not in the pic.

     

    also got a cool hook sharpener from leo

  2. here are a couple pictures of the trojans i put on my boat.

     

    dave put together 2 mounts that go on to my walker downrigger plates and he did one with a riser on the back deck for a prop wash rod.

     

    the prop wash rod holder is not in the pics.

  3. I'd make it a Compre and get a Med Heavy, that'll be perfect for spinnerbaits.

     

    i would also agree that a med/heavy would be fine for a smaller baits that you have mentioned. if you do decide to troll, this rod would also be ok for smaller baits at slower speeds.

     

    now throw a 2-3 ounce spinnerbait and troll it at 4-5 mph and your arms may get tired pretty quickly.

     

    if your plan is to stick within the kawartha's and cast mostly i would suggest an 8'6 med/heavy or heavy. the compre's are a bit heavy and i dont like the 2 piece rods the way the new ones are.

     

    i would suggest a st croix mojo musky or premier if your on a budget. if cost isnt an issue go with a st croix legend! the trigger grip alone is worth the price.

     

    good luck

  4. i have vinyl floors on my princecraft xpedition and i absolutely love them!!! not hard to walk on barefoot, not slippery when wet either. i have had zero issues with hooks or any tearing at all.

     

    makes clean up a breeze and comes back to its original color and look after cleaning. i have had a couple salmon that were squirting blood all over the place and with a carpet i would have been in trouble.

     

    you will be happy you ended up with vinyl over carpet for sure.

  5. hey rich, unless that baby starts screaming line i wouldnt assume its a musky until you see it. lots of big walleye and bass cruising the bog. the only tell tale sign is that it just runs and runs.. but even then a mid size musky sometimes comes up fairly easy.
