Yankee Troller

Nah Clark, Sealines have been the same for a while. The Accudepth was introduced as a price point reel for the guy who cant afford to outfit 6,8, or 10 rods with Sealines @ about a $100 a pop. They quickly fixed those Accudepths and the Accudepth Plus model was solid and still is. I own 6 of them and I know Billy beat the crap out of them on his wire divers with Lake Trout from Cayuga!

Tom, I am blaming this late birthday wish on Mickey Mouse himself! Happy Birthday!

I guess I missed this bud! Stupid Disney! LOL Anyway, Happy B-Day and I hope we win on Saturday!

Tom, Are you trying to help keep the cost of stamps down from the US Postal Service in the future by generating a lot of business for them ? USPS is going to show a nice profit this year! PS. Check to see if I am in your spam box again.

Some stuff still available!

Anyone who has never been to one of these should take the time to attend this one. The DEC give out all thier data and you can ask whatever questions you'd like. One way for us lake fisherman to voice our opinion.

I have heard great things about Tuna Tom, but Daiwa has some great technicians too. The plus with sending them back to Daiwa is they get a chance to open the reel up and see what exactly caused your problem, so if it is a problem that they continually see they can improve in future models. Either way you go your reels will be like new when they come back.

I got spanked one fall off the Genny by a guy using a longer fly leader than me. We generally stick with 22-24" leaders, but he was using 30" leaders. Wish he would have told me that earlier in the day! It all comes down to confidence and the mood the fish are in. That's why there are never any real constants when fishing.

One works just fine! I ran my 700 copper off it like it was a 500. Just make sure your measurements are good and it will run nicely.

Keep your head up bud! I know what your going through.

Rig a way to steer the kicker. I know of a couple bahas that have it in Oswego. I'm pretty sure Captain Clearance Crisp has it in Pt. Breeze, and I have seen it on other inboard vessels.

Lots of guys in Oswego do this. I know its do-able. Hank should have some insight on this.

Thanks Brandi!

I know Berts and Traxtech were interchangeable. Not sure about the new Cannon stuff.

If your talking about braid then I hope you dont mind clumps of fleas all over the place come flea season. The braid is real bad with the fleas. I deal with it, but most people wont. Also if you use it on a Cannon Downrigger you will loose your short stop feature. As for your probe rigger taking the shots. Its probably because you have it sitting in the zone. What I mean is you are using it to find the ideal temperature. You cant stack another rigger within 10 feet of that depth mark or face the challenge of a tangle.

Otters DONT flip! When they go through a wave, and they will, all they simply do is swim. Turn your boat at it and it will pop right up. From the knot to the front it should be 9.5 inches. Knot to rear 11.5 inches. something you should try if your handy enough. Find a way to affix a metal washer to both the inside and outside of the board right over the pre-drilled holes. The holes WILL wear. This might help with that. I have had mine for 3 or 4 seasons now. They get used EVERY time I fish Spring-Fall.

LMFAO!

Im a Pink Panties type guy!

Yeah Tom, so sorry to hear about that.

OK, so I am going on record saying I thought that the purpose of these were to minimize wear and tear on the last eye on a rod. I had 2 wire set-ups the past few years. One had the tips and the other didn't. I recently read this article and I guess I was ignorant to exactly what the purpose of the Twilli Tip is used for. After reading this I can attest to the issue that the Twilli Tip fixes. Just thought you would like to be schooled today like me! http://www.fishingrodstuff.com/twili_tip.html

Good one Dex!

They are nice. I have used them for trolling and casting for BT in the Spring.
