    I agree. I bought the Cabelas 4 pack 6 years ago and they are doing fine. They flex some and probably won't last as long as the metal, but they are extremely versatile and allow for all types of rods and fishing setups. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Is it possible he blew a bearing on the trailer and was having it intentionally towed to a repair shop? Stuff like that happens pretty frequently. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    It is kind of a day to day thing where experimenting may be necessary. But why not try shorter first? Makes for a much easier land. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I agree completely. You don't need a mile of line behind the dipsey to catch fish. Often we do well with a 2-4 ft leader from dipsey to spin doctor then a fly. This makes the total length 5-7 ft behind the dipsey- which is plenty manageable at the net w a 9-10 ft rod. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I'll give you the rod holders are a little cheap, but they are functional, versatile, and haven't broken in 6+ years fishing. They flex a little more than I like, but they work. This picture was taken on a rough day on a tight turn and that's the max the rods bend. If you look closely they are not over the rigger boom, but 4 feet around the outside of it. We do the best we can on a budget in a small boat to maximize lines and lures in the water. Plus I feel secure that I won't lose any rods with these holders.

    Yea we usually don't have problems running 6 rods from our 1802 trophy. Either 4 riggers and 2 dipseys, 3 riggers 2 dipseys one copper, or 3 riggers 3 dipseys. All depending on the bite. Our dipseys rods are 9.5-10.5 footlong and 15 lb cannon balls help. As always, nice gradual turns too! Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Its a vicious cycle. nobody is going to be interested and willing to spend time/money fishing them if there aren't enough fish to be had. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Got out this early this morning and trolled from 40 fow all the way out to 550. We managed to boat 4 steelhead with several knockoffs. They just seemed to be short striking today. Our hot ticket-if you wanna call it that- was the 200 copper with a UV jager bomb spoon. We took a major shot on it, peeled out 100 ft of line and spit the hook. Just our luck... Tommorrow sounds like a wash, but hopefully we ll get out later this week. Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Were you fishing that 400-500 fow range? What color spoons were the ticket, and how were the water temps? Thanks! Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Hey thanks for the info. I assume that's per person not per boat? Does Everyone aboard has to be registered? Sent from my XT1080 using Lake Ontario United mobile app
