Costas are awesome, can find just above your price range on the auction site.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think we may stick with top loaders, tried to convince the rest of the fam to go the other way, no chance. Liked a few of the lg, samsung and maytag offerings.

My maytag dryer died today. Was 27 years old. The washing machine on the other hand is 8 years old, and needs a new transmission, also a maytag. Going to go and look for a new pair. Not familiar with washers/dryers. Whats the general consensus on top/front load? Anyone have a recommendation on a machine/brand? Would like to try to stay under $2000 if possible.

Thanks

Where theres light (coming from the windows), LED. Dark basement, Plasma hands down! No comparison.

Lebaron told me they couldn't order it. Excellent service. I'll try Jbs

Looking for the power stow 36x38. Does anyone know of a store in Ontario that stocks the net? Or a place that will ship, need it asap.

Thanks

Minn kota from radio world. Work great. I have a 3 bank 10 amps each. Usually can find a rebate too

My parents both use superslick 20lb braid on spinning gear. No problems what so ever and their not the best fisherman. All i've told them to do is close the bail manually. Probably the best braid outside of daiwa samurai and sunline sx1 imo

How accurate are the navionics maps? Im heading there this weekend. My friends cottage is there, but still sort of worried as they normally dont head out to far to fish. Any areas worth concentrating on the lake, prob fish for largies and pike.

Thanks guys

I was looking at the ego but a previous friend had it and the shaft wasn't too sturdy. What size basket do you have?

Looking for a fishing net to use for bass. Normally dont use one, but have decided to get one for when trebles are involved. Any suggestions? Not sure whether to get a rubber or mesh net. Frabill has a mesh net coated which claims it stops tangling. The conversation series i believe.

How did you do? Seen your truck there, i left on friday. Was slower than last year. Landed a few ski's, biggest being 36", all small guys. Managed to land two 20.5" smallies ~5lbs minutes from each other which was pretty awesome. Surprisingly the fish were pretty chunky, lots of bass in the 17-18" all over stormy.

Its all hype. A flouro lead is only necessary in super clear / shallow applications. If I'm fishing the Grand or any other SW ontario river, straight braid. Less knots and the fish dont mind at all.

The best tied knot will give you XX percent of your lines rated breaking strength. XX will always be a value less than 100. Each knot you add to your setup increases the chance of that XX value being lower.

Have you seen how easily 10lb braid breaks near a rock? Ill take my chances and use a fluoro lead for abrasion.

alberto knot. Works great on my two setups. Dropshotting with 12lb sx1 tied to a 7lb sunline sniper lead. or Shakeyhead 16lb sx1 tied to a 7lb lead. Knot is simple to tie and small. Havent had a breakoff yet.

I dont even want to type out what i experienced today at canadian tire today. What a joke of a store.

I'll pass. Combining discounts to achieve 35% off online in the states is where it's at.

Trade 'em all. Pathetic

Thanks for the input, I used to have the cabelas prodigy reels. Were great, daiwa Capricorns they were at the time.

Looking to buy a new combo for my dad. Had a budget of 150 in mind. His pflueger president is pretty rough after a few years. He's a pretty basic fisherman, likes his jig and grub. I'm not to familiar with the spinning reels out now. The daiwa lexa and shimano Sahara fe felt pretty good. Any opinions?

Thanks

3m 5200 holds my marine plywood solid. With starboard, it will hold but the bond is alot weaker. Dont really want to take the chance. I guess two screws aint so bad.

Hmm what kind of board? I have marine wood, but starboard looks much cleaner, want to swap it out. but from what i have read, the glue isnt a permanent bond with starboard.

Good speeds, for some reason i thought the pitch would be too high. Same boat but i have the 115 opti, and i use an aluminum 4 blade quicksilver nemesis but 17 pitch, myself in the boat ill do 46/47 at 5400. With 3 people and loaded 43. Mine planes out really quick compared to the black max and doesnt blow out when steering at high speed.

Your transducer board, is it screwed in?

What speed and rpm are you getting with that setup?

I was eyeing an Avet, but am not sure of its performance. Think i may just grab a toro nacl, even though im not a fan of Abu reels.

Only use a San Diego jam knot
