colin519 Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Hey all, So i'm doing my yearly Temagami thing in a week and I picked up some things from SAIL. Got a PiranhaMax Portable 160 for 129 bucks and a Berkely 15lb digital scale for 10. Grabbed a headlamp and a couple other things I needed also. This will be my first year with this type of gear in the boat. I'm worried about whether all my 5lb+ smallie stories will be shattered once I get a chance to weigh a few of these fish. Anyone else find their world shattered when getting these? Any tips for a first time sonar operator? I've read the book and I'm fairly sure of how to operate it but is there anything I haven't thought of? I am going with 3 rods. My Abu medium with 6lb Spiderwire invisibraid (1lb thickness which I think is sweet). Also have a Mitchell/Shimano ultralight with 4lb Trilene XL on it. Any tips for a first time braid user? Is it going to be too visible in clear northern water? I typically fish Berkeley Transition. Also bringing the St Croix for some fly practice. Can't wait. I've got that stupid excited feeling and I can't help it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted August 13, 2012 Report Share Posted August 13, 2012 Yup, palomar for braid or improved clinch at a minimum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
