Well then an 8' to 9' moderate action should suit you fine.

Nice! Congrats my friend, you've earned it. See how it pays off to be in the right company....

All these Simcoe posts are killing me. Good job on washing away the "skunk" Joey, that'll make for some fine eating.

What type of bait fishing, still fishing or drifting?. And the target species, bass, walleye, cats?

I'll add acouple more things here. First those blades definitely look to be in need of sharpening, if you do it yourself be sure to only sharpen from the top side off the blade, never the bottom. Shims need to be placed between the auger head and the blade on the cutting edge side of the bolts to steepen the angle of attack. Also note that the offset handle auger requires rotation with both arms as seen in this video. Hope this helps.

I have the same auger and I can assure you they were not upside down in the first picture, they are however upside down now.

I've no doubt it's a wonderful feeling Lew. I'm happy for you and Diane.

Solid advice. Thanks Albert.

That may be so but they'll always be trout in my mind. I'm stubborn. All white mouths and repeat spawning, both things true Pacific salmon lack. Damn taxonomists....

I won't hold my breath waiting to see it. My condolences to his family, a terrible loss.

Considering many of the posts you've made here the only thing that comes to mind, childish as it may seem is, "takes one to know one."

I agree with those who said take her down to the studs. Then replace with cement board as Irishfield mentioned. If this tub is on an outside wall it's also a good opportunity to check the insulation and vapour barrier as well, assuming there is a vapour barrier.

I posted this last year, might help.....? http://www.ofncommunity.com/forums/index.p...&hl=dremmel Once you're sure the blades are sharp try shimming them, you may need to play with shim thickness till you find just the right one.

You're a good man Art. Congrats Darcy.

Well GLS, I guess over the 35 years I've been building rods there isn't much I haven't built. Prices will generally run from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand. Depends entirely on what the customer wants. Here's a shot of the butt wraps on 2 of my float rods. This one belongs to Gerritt, the butt wrap is pre finish.

You have much to learn Grasshopper.

LOL....I've done enough for one day. Time to eat and rest with your permission of course. I gotta say though the colour scheme is beauty.

I love these videos TJ keep 'em coming, but I'm gonna give you a tip. *TIP* No charge.

I wish I could but I'm busy building rods.

No worries, I think you have all your ducks in a row.

"Gah, Stupid Geese"......HaHaHaHa, Brutal. Reminds me of the time a Canada Goose knocked my brother to the ground and proceded to tear off his nose, I couldn't stop laughing long enough to help him.... Bwahahahahahahaha. I'm sitting here laughing my ass off just thinking about it. Hahahahaha.

Well I had to check (I thought a few were Gibbs), but stamped on the back of every one of those spoons it says "Krocodile-Luhr Jensen".

I still have a handful of 30 year old Krocs that I take pier fishing with me.
