Curious as to how fast you run your 4 or 5 " Tomic Tubbies compared to regular plugs..
Also just wondering if PowerPro downrigger braid (or similar braid products) lose their smooth coating over time and then create more blowback.
I've been told when running plugs "If you think you're going...
I used a Siwash with a swivel on these just like in the mini teaser thread.
30lb test leader.
Should I ditch the swivel and go with a salmon or treble hook or is it o.k.?
I have some of these tiny strip heads.
I rigged them with 25lb leader about 6ft long.
I used a small Siwash hook with a swivel so the hook can rotate.
Not sure if the swivelled Siwash is a good idea.
Also the instructions say 25lb test leader but to me that's a tad light.
What do you do?
After reading another thread it's obvious that not all welded hulls are created equal in terms of deadrise, types of V, wave-handling capability etc etc etc.
So..16 to 20ft all welded aluminums only...what's your choice and why?
Anybody know who sells or where I could get a 12lb cannonball that looks like the one in this pic.
It has a thicker rudder on it. I like these because they don't accidentally bend unlike the normal ones you get around with the thinner rudder.
I've seen lots of fifteens with this thicker rudder...
Yamaha, on their site, says that ALL their 4-stroke outboards should have one.
I don't run Yamaha but I do run 4-strokes.
However....mine connect to portable gas tanks (the newer pressurized tanks). The tanks come off the boat when I get home.
Have you personally rigged that type of filter...
Yamaha makes a 25 horse 4-stroke that is quite lightweight. (It's a 2 cylinder)
130 to 140 lbs.(Depending on options)
Do you own one of these?
How do you like it?
I want to buy some VMC open-eye siwash hooks in size 3/0, 4/0 and 5/0.
They are the kind that have a sort of light grey finish on them and are lighter than stainless. They also have a slightly smaller eye.
Anybody know where to buy locally? (Van Isle).
Ten foot aluminum boat. Does not leak.
Oars.
Minnkota electric motor. Think the push power is around 25lbs. Works good . Trolls good for trout etc.
Sold as set. Won't separate.
$450 Cdn. for the lot. No lowballers. Will not take lesser offer.
Phone 250-752-1563
Qualicum.
Update:-Boat...
Anybody here use the smaller 8 inch Hotspot-type flasher for spoons instead of the 11 inch?
If you do..what leader length?
Not talking about using them for hoochies.
Perhaps you can enlighten me as to how much havoc construction on the McKenzie Interchange is creating for
traffic coming from up island into Victoria and also if there any problems when you come from up island and want to get to the Victoria airport...
Thanks....
There is some play in this swing-arm..where the bolt goes through the hinge.
If I move the front part of the tongue up and down it is getting a little bit sloppy.
The other side takes a pin so not much can do there.
If I tighten the bolt up lots then the tongue may not swing freely.
Got any...
Every so often (including today) I go out on the back lawn in the morning and there are holes all over the place.
Not very deep and not all that wide. Like the lawn has been pulled up like a chunk of carpet.
Say about up to 10 inches round by 2 inches deep.
Don't have a trailcam yet so can't...
There are all kinds of boats around here ( Van Isle) in that class for sale.
Such brands as Hewes, North River, Lifetimer, Alumaweld, Silver Streak, Kingfisher etc etc etc etc. and others.
In your opinion, which of these (any brand you can think of that is sold in these parts) is the best...
Anybody know where you can get c/balls that actually weigh 12 lbs. around Parksville/Qualicum area?
Lots of places around here sell 12lb balls...but when I weigh them with my digital scale none of them actually weigh that much ( and you are paying for 12lbs). They range all over the place in...
Most sites I go on have a "quote" button so you can respond to a person's post by quoting them or quoting certain lines in a reply.
I see that it is done here on SFBC forums.
But I can't find the quote button or anything like it.
Please enlighten me.
Thank you.
