    I have run Mason, Malin and torpedo wire over the years. I switched 2 of my reels to torpedo wire and ended up switching back to Malin. I had trouble with the torpedo wire I twisting and getting small frays easier but it did not link as easy.

    I order a lot of stuff through these guys. Great prices and local.

    I run my coppers with the spro swivels, haywire twist with shrink tubing, Uni knots and I also add 6' of 50lb floro between the backing and the copper so the releases hold better. I run the Scotty Power grip releases. Find the double stacker releases and cut the mono and add a shower curtain hook to the one that will be missing one. They run around $12 each. The Scotty Power grips alone run around $12 each so this way you get 2 releases for the price of one. The problem I see with the releases in Sk8mans post is the clip. Once a release comes off the copper, and you send a new one down with a line in it, it can swing over your line and wrap keeping your rod from releasing. These new Diawa reels have my attention. If the drags are as smooth and adjustable as the Saltist, all my Penn copper reels will be sold one by one and replaced. My only worry will be the line guide. Will it be big enough for the spro swivel to go through smoothly.

    Opening Day

    GAMBLER replied to FX's topic in Big / Small Game

    Opening day was interesting for me. Saw a ton of deer including the biggest buck I have ever seen on the good in the woods. At around noon, 2 hikers with an unleashed dog came walking through and the dog spooked deer out of the brush. The monster ran by with 6 doe at full speed. I just watched in awe. I ended up dumping a button buck with the muzzleloader at 100 yds around 420 pm opening afternoon. Not my first choice but it's meat in the freezer and now I can get back to perch fishing.

    As a dog owner 1. What is your dog doing on someone else's property. 2. What is your dog doing in the woods during deer season? Would I shoot someone's dog? No. But I would not feel sorry for someone if it did happen to their dog. There are leash laws for a reason. People that own animals need to take care of their animals. It is not ok to let your animal roam free and do what it wants.

    The doe that frequent my back yard have mostly doe yearlings this year. All but one doe has twins. Last year the group behind my house had more button bucks than doe.

    If the people read the signs, they would see it cleary says do not back your trailers past the end of the docks. Even when the docks are out, the poles are still there marking the end of the ramp. No excuse for damaging your trailer.

    I believe single hooks are the law up there.

    I posted a pic of a 35lb grass carp from a local pond a couple of years ago Tom. They will get big in the right body of water. There are 3 or 4 that big in the pond I caught it out of.

    Congrats rob. Was this near my house or another spot you hunt?

    Only problem I see is the fly will get flattened and not get its shape back.

    The Blue Green algea blooms have really changed that lake (mostly during ice season). The weed lines do not extend out to 15' of water anymore except for a small area on the South end West side. Most of the fish roam the open water and can be very tough to stay on. We started seeing the change about 6 years ago. We used to have good days for walleye, gills, bass, perch and some crappie just about every trip. Now you have to fish every day to stay on top of the schools in the open lake.

    Nice job Matt!

    With the receiving core romo has had the past couple years, the cowboys offense should be unstoppable. Just goes to prove he is a mediocre at best quarterback.

    Try being a mets and redskins fan. Most years are like this year!

    This site would not go anywhere. The reports section is the most abused section of this site. Tons of people read it and do not give one ounce of reports or useful info in return. The lurkers would still have access to the rest of the site.

    The reports section should be for pro only too. This would keep lurkers from sucking info from the site without giving anything back.
