rolmops

The steering problems with my I/O went away when I started using otter boats. With the pull that they provide on each side the boat can go nowhere but straight.

I Like this. I wonder if Kurt Vonnegut ever imagined having one of his characters jump from the pages of his books into a fishing chat room selling fishing rods instead of writing science fiction.

With cannons the cable comes onto the reel on the bottom side and rolls up clockwise. If yours are coming onto the reel on the topside they will roll up counter clock wise and they will chafe the rigger main body unless there is very little cable on them. This happens when the power supply is reversed at the battery. However, if you are talking about the boom swivel wheel, there the cable rolls over the top.

Cables do get easily frayed when they get caught off to the side of the wheel on the end of the rigger. It is called the boom swivel. You should check out your boom swivels and maybe replace them. Also, sometimes the wire is rolled up the wrong way on the the main wheel. This will cause the cable to chafe up against the metal frame , causing it to fray. The small piece of cable that comes with the probe is for the connection between the probe and the ball with the ball hanging under the probe. Finally if your cable still breaks a lot, replace it with a 150 or 200 pound test cable.

I've seen them go for $125 a piece

Whatever you do, do make sure to inspect your cable and to fix it the right way. My failure to do so, cost me a $300 fish hawk probe and a 14 pound torpedo. They were hanging on the cable next to the boat and I saw the cable break and that 340 dollars go down before my eyes and not being able to grab it. It made me feel very stupid and thoroughly spoiled my day on the water.

sorry to burst your balloon. But your numbers are incorrect to say the least. According to US government data for 2018 the overall amount of renewable energy sourced electricity is over 17 %. Currently Wind mills supply us with 7% of our energy. Your article has a distinct big oil/coal flavor that reminds me of the tobacco companies promotion of cigarettes as "being good for you" Alternative energy such as wind power is the future, but big money, oil and coal fight hard to discredit this fact like they did with asbestos, lead and tobacco. They would rather see miners have black long disease than giving up their profits. I understand and respect people who do not like a wind mill in their backyard, although most of them agree that alternative energy sources are much needed to save our environment. I do not like the spreading of lies in order to change public opinion. The Russians have done enough damage playing that game. Down below are some USA government provided statistics. Wind energy was the source of about 6% of total U.S. electricity generation and about 37% of electricity generation from renewable energy in 2017. Wind turbines convert wind energy into electricity. Electricity in the United States - Energy Explained, Your Guide To ... - EIA https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.php?page=electricity_in_the_united_states Oh , in case you wondered about why gasoline is so cheap these days. Big oil is scared of the increased popularity of electric vehicles. Cheap gas is how they try to destroy Tesla, and that is why they try to depict wind turbines as polluting useless junk. When you think of clean air and water, think of your children and grand children and the world that you leave behind for them to live in.

2x. Super slims have SS punched onto the metal at the top

If you intend to use the rods for dipsey divers, you will be well served with 7 strand and roller tips, which is a bit tougher than the 19 strand material.If you want to use the weighted steel in combination with wire line, then the 19 strand is the right choice because of its very low water resistance. I use that combination instead of copper and I love it.The rollers will not hurt the the 19 strand ,but you have no need for them.

Congrats on your new rig and may you enjoy it in good health!

Can you post a picture of the torpedo hanging off a wire? I'd like to see how the balance is

And now there will be traffic jams again at all the entrances to Sodus Bay. The best way to destroy a fishery is by advertising it on a social network website.

Conceivably, yes. But before you activate you are supposed to holler: "Stand Clear" and that would spoil the surprise. Besides do you really want to take a chance with wet hands?
