    Set of 2 - port and starboard Church Tackle Walleye Boards. I used the same type of board to pull anything from a flat line up to a 10 color. This set has the rounded top fin but they track the same as the triangle top fin style. Price: $38 shipped ************SOLD**************** Set of 2 - port and starboard Church Tackle Walleye Boards.

    Still trying to decide between sharks, Torpedo Diver torpedos, and Atomic torpedos. What size and color sharks is everyone running? Do you think that the sharks actually work as an attractor?

    Sounds like a great idea. A salmon that is immediately killed and bled tastes better. You could even spike them right in the net before they do their death roll with hooks flying and prevent net tangles and hooks in the hand.

    I have the same motor setup and was wondering the same thing for when I eventually get a kicker. Problem is that there is nothing to spin the pump. Wonder if a octopuses remote drive is the way to go.

    Had a buddy drop a brand new Samsung Galaxy phone down the hole this year. Fell out of the front pocket of his jacket, bounced on the ice a few times, and then found its way right down the hole. Good buy $600 phone!

    Which autopilot are you looking at getting? I've been shopping around so I know the prices pretty well.

    They also just came out with the LC Seagates. Might want to take a look at those for lead and copper. I just rigged 2 full cores on a pair of Seagate 50s. Man its nice reeling leadcore without your arm wanting to fall off

    So i just got a set of Daiwa Seagate LW50H reels. I am switching over from a pair of Okuma Convector 45Ds. Just wanted to go with a higher speed reel for full cores. I wanted to reuse the full core that I had on the Okuma reels - especially since its the expensive 832 suffix lead core. I went to reverse it onto one of the new reels and the mono backer was trashed after the lead core. So I'm thinking on maybe switching to braid. Was thinking 30 or 40lb high visibility power pro. I use church walleye boards and havent had to many instances of where the front clip slipped off the braid on other setups. I actually use a small spro swivel between my leadcore and backer so if it does pop, it only goes 10 feet before it hits the swivel. Actually makes it a lot easier to take the board off without loosing tension. Any comments/suggestions?

    Actually people are talking about 2 different weights. One is made by a guy here on the forum. The other is made by a company named Torpedo Divers. The shape of the weights had kinda the same concept but the are shipped differently.

    Sold - thanks again!

    I ended up going with the Smiths 3-1 field sharpener. http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/search_catalog_command.cmd?fromProductSearch=true&item1=IK-517054 Has carbide, diamond stone, and ceramic rods. Plus hook sharpening groves on the stone and the ceramic rods. Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions.

    It was the one that I was going to buy - now Im just going to go with the new one they came out with to replace the SPX-5r unit. It should be the ev-200/P70R/Sport Pilot - model number is T70159. I talked to Raymarine about the difference and they said the compass is their new technology and the course computer is updated. The wheel drive is the same between the 2 units. If you want to go with the SPX5-R, there are a few places that still have them. All of the cheaper places are sold out though which makes the new unit a lot more tempting. With a bit of searching Im sure you could still snag the SPX5-R for around $1500 if you want to go that route.

    After doing some more research - it kinda makes we want to just go ahead and use 40lb big game for coho flies and 50lb for kings.

    The problem I'm having is that the line is hard to wrap around the shank and keep it organized - then trying to go back through the loop without everything coming undone. Then the few I did, if you push on the tag end the entire thing comes apart. Maybe Im just using the wrong snell version. Either way, I think the knot would benefit from a bit of glue when done.

    So I have a bunch of king flies that I'm cutting down to be coho flies. I was trying to tie up the leaders and beads. I'm going with a single 3/0 Mustad hook and 40lb flurocarbon. Fluocarbon is a bit stiff and I have a hard time snelling hooks with techniques I watched in a few videos. Anyone have any tips on a better/easier way to snell a hook when you are working with fluorocarbon?

    I actually run 18lb Suffice Advance. Reeled in multiple 25lb kings on it last year without issue. I was thinking on going with pair of 12 and a 8 color this year. Last year I ran a 10 and a 5 (the 5 was pretty much useless for Lake Michigan). The 12 color will get deeper and the 8 will still be in the normal strikezone. If I need to go deeper, then I'll put dive bombs on the 8 color and make that my inside board. Any thoughts on this setup?

    Was thinking about picking up a set of 4 Saltist reels to replace a set of Cold Waters and Convectors for 12 color and 8 color. Getting a set of 4 of the Seagates looks like a better deal and still have the 6:1. Any thoughts on these vs the Saltist level wind? What sizes would I need for 12 and 8 color?

    By the way - the tolera I mentioned is a full roller rod.
