    Any advice on glow paint for spoons? Saw the glow blanks that LPO sells and was wondering if anyone has any experience with them. Any other recommendations for glow blanks would be appreciated.

    Thanks to everyone for their response. J.D. - That's one of the pics I was thinking about when I asked the question. I have an extra pair of rod holders. May follow your lead.

    Was looking through some pics of trolling set-ups and found a few where the rod holder was on the track/gunnel behind the rigger and the rod was off the side of the boat like a dipsy. Curious what the rationale is for such a set-up vs using the holder mounted on the rigger. Thoughts?

    Two Big Jon rod holders with 12" sections of track. Mounts do not fit Bert's, Traxstech, etc. Came with the boat I bought and I don't need them. Everything works as it should. $160/OBO. Price includes shipping in lower 48.

    Two flasher lots. Prices include shipping to the lower 48. Big paddles are a mix of challengers and pro trolls. Green spotted PT glows, white spotted PTs have glow tape and the plaid PT is UV. Challengers all have reflective tape on the back. $80/OBO Small paddles are PTs and a Spin Doctor. Three PTs are glow blades, one has glow tape and the Spin Doctor has both glow and UV tape on the back. The remaining PT has disco tape on the front and back. $70/OBO

    Put me in line if the divers become available.

    Would like to find a pair of downrigger risers/pedestals that fit Traxstech track. The taller the better.

    How old is it? Willing to ship?

    I am with Skinny. I like the high-viz yellow. Makes it easier to keep the lines clear when you have doubles and triples.

    Never painted a flasher, but assuming that it is plastic like a crankbait, you shouldn't need primer. Just make sure the blank is clean and then shoot a coat of white as a base. I fear you may be using a lot of AB paint to cover the blank. Maybe start with a rattle can? Could use Devcon two ton epoxy as a sealer.

    Pro King. I thought the same thing, but then I see they have both UV and RGV flashers.

    I would suggest a gravity feed brush. I started with a NEO from Hobby Lobby. Find a coupon and its quite affordable. Getting started can be a bit frustrating - no need to fight your brush too. Buy your hose and other accessories from Harbor Freight.

    Was shopping for some new flashers and came across some that were "RGV". Tried my Google-Fu, but apparently it is too weak. Hoping someone can clue me in to what it means.

    You're not helping...
  16. VanderLaan
    I would also be interested in some of them. Please let me know if you decide to part them out.

    Would you consider selling the cowbells separately? If so, how much shipped to Illinois?
  18. VanderLaan
    Please put me next in line.

    Thanks for the insight. I appreciate it.

    You are most likely correct. Thinking I should confirm that before I go too far down this road. Don't really trust BPS and I am the second owner. Would be good knowledge to have too.
  21. VanderLaan
    Thanks. I will check it out.

    Truth. The remote works ok, but seems to lose its bearing on occasion. Happened once last year in some wind and chop. Ended up spinning the boat in a circle before I knew what was happening. Lots of fun untangling a six rod spread in those conditions. Left me doubting it's long-term viability and searching for something better.
  23. VanderLaan
    I am not sure. Second owner of the boat. Paperwork/on-line info says "dual cable rack and pinion". What is the best, easiest way to confirm that determination? Boat is a 2011 Tracker Targa V-18 WT

    I have a 19 foot walk-through with a 150 and a 9.9 kicker. Have been trolling with the kicker pushing and the bow-mount trolling motor steering. Was contemplating upgrading to auto-pilot after talking to a guy at the cleaning station last fall but realize that I know nothing about it. Pros and cons? Who makes a good system? Cost? Installation issues? Can I run it with my GPS? If there is a thread that covers all this, please let me know. Don't want to waste anyone's time.
