  1. when does the leaderboard get updated?
  2. anyone know what size the albino frog is being held on the home page? 8" or a 10"?
  3. this is a little off topic but we had a few of those tangles last year and i was able to salvage the ATOMMIK copper but not the wire. so when i got home i put all the remaining wire (700 ft or so) on an empty reel (same model) and then filled the remainder with braid. wire connected to braid with improved albright knot. when the reel is just about full of braid I albright knotted a little mono to it. Now you have a reel filled to capacity spooled backwards. Tie the mono to the spool of the empty reel to prevent slippage and start cranking. Make sure the drag is on just tight enough so it feeds off with pressure on it and respools tightly, clickers on. A lot of work and your arm will be cramped to he!l from reeling 1000+ ft on each reel, but better than dumping 30-40 bucks on new wire. I have not been taken out to the braid backing ever but I have faith that the albright knot will hold.
  4. x2 these riggers bounce like mad
  5. Got the reels back a few days ago, cost $25 a pop and $6.99 return shipping. They are looking brand new. Complete rebuilds
  6. I sent a CV30D and a CV55L to Tuna Tom's today for repairs. Gotta pay shipping both ways and then price of repair. But figure it will be a lot cheaper than buying 2 new reels. Shipping out was $10.15 (cheapest) at post office.
  7. my buddy has one that is just trashed but that thing produces. it even went to alaska and came back. its beat! only seen the gator crush in yellow, do they have a green one also?
  8. ran a lot of the same spoons as most people here. standout spoon for us was UV gator stingray on leadcore in the spring and copper in the summer but it shut down after July. I must be one of the few boats that didn't land a single fish on SSW or 42nd spoons. or carmel dolphin
  9. sold pending payment
  10. 2 used slide divers. One with the mag kit already installed, one mag kit new. Asking $25
  11. pm sent on spoons/divers
  12. we were out also quick afternoon trip yesterday. had a double and that was it for us. 20# king and a nice coho. 125 FOW. marked a lot of bait balls but not many fish. F/F for us, one on a dipsy out 325 and one on a deep rigger
  13. do you run the plug on stacked rod? or on a fixed slider?
  14. sorry but that isn't the same spoon. thats a RAD AK 47 (custom flashers). no purple on that spoon and its got fishscale
  15. i thought mag stinger at first but michigan stinger would be stamped on the cup side of the spoon
  16. sold, snatchlip i will post a pic later tonight for you, but ive had these for 2 yrs
  17. they are yellow
  18. here's an update: used slide diver with a new ring on sunday (old one eaten by line). slightly better results using the spring and 40# mono. this time on a 2 setting. still getting grooves though..... the grooves are far away from where the line exits the diver. i dont think these are from slippage. im pretty sure they happened when the diver tripped and slid down the line. i ran 8" flashers behind the slide diver.
