Welcome. I have a cottage up that way and am putting in my time learning eyes, trout and salmon. I can't wait to get up there!!!

Welcome. I was on here for a while before I got more active. The knowledge here is great, just ask away and you'll get a lot of answers and discussion on the topic(s). Glad you're a part of this great site!

You can find them online. This was after a little search. http://store.scottsbt.com/133-600-DSP-S11001-Base-Plate-and-Nut-ONLY-P9520.aspx Don't know if another website or eBay will have em cheaper.

My family had a zipper and shoe repair, custom leather store in Cuse. We know a guy, Pat Reap, out of Syracuse that does marine canvas and upholstery. He makes his way to Sackets to work on boats. He was suppose to meet up with me there to have a look at my canvas and clear side panels, but family issues arose and we missed each other. I can get his contact info when I speak to my mom.

Thanks. Great info and very good point. Got me thinking!

What are you using for leader material? And did you get away from them for a certain reason or just never used them?

Great tips for getting your reel set up by all. As far as setting up to run your dipsy... Attach your dipsy to the wire and on the business end, use a snubber on the dipsy to attach your leader to. This will allow for a little stretch during a strike. *Make sure the length of your leader to lure, fly, etc (hook) is no longer than your rod* (So 10 ft). When you bring in a fish the dipsy will stop at the rod tip. In order to net the fish you can back up and raise your rod.

I have a pair of 625s. Love em. X2 on what henrybud said. Smooth cranks, easy to work the drag. IMO that's a great price from henrybud for 2 with swivel bases. You can PM me for any other details or questions on using them.
