  1. Way to go Jax! What a beautiful day. Congrats on the browns. Any size to them? Any pictures to share with us? I thought about the lake as I was sitting in my deer stand this morning...

    I got my boat "fix" on Friday. Jay & I went up to FH and worked on the boat for a few hours. We got the rocket launcher back on the boat, and did a few small jobs that needed doing...re-wiring the nav lights, etc. Today after hunting I re-filled my 600' copper rig with fresh copper and got my wire rods all fixed up with twilli tips. That kept me busy for a bit!

  2. Scott,

    I got a lot of traffic on my listing when I sold my last boat over at http://www.glangler.com/boatsforsale.html.

    It's $70 to list it, but it gets lots of traffic. You can try some of the other sites like Spoonpullers, Great Lakes Fisherman, Educated Angler, and Sanders Fishing Guides for free listings.

    You should DEFINITELY add as many pictures as you can to all of your listings. That'll help you sell the boat a LOT faster.

  3. I've owned both a Fish Hawk and a Depth Raider (and a Moor too!). I currently run the DR. Like John said, there's really no comparison. The DR is the way to go for the reasons he listed.

    I've never run the Cannon, but Erbyjoe and Maniac both own one and they seem to like it.

  4. The 345 GTi is about the only real choice for 600' of 45# copper. Gear ratio stinks, but it's a bomber reel. 300 yards of 50# power pro backing is what we put on ours. I'm told that the Shimano 800 won't hold all that line and backer.

    I've been talking with the Daiwa rep and there's some discussion of a high capacity level wind with a line counter possibly coming from the saltwater line over the winter. It would be based off of one of the Saltist reels....

    It's still in the discussion stages though. Gear ratio would be in the 4.9:1 range...anyone else think that's a good sounding combo????
