Is this sold!

Don't forget the good old Yellow Eagle claws, great rod for the $

I also use the 7' ugly sticks^^^^^^

I took my extendable west marine boat hook and removed the hook. I then took the spring/pin from my favorite net and installed it into the end of the boat pole. It is super strong and extends out way farther then I will ever need. It also was a perfect fit.

Last spring I was in a walleye tournament and on day 4 it was foggy, so I decided to trailer to Oswego to give it a try, I had 12 -7' rods with okuma Cold water 20 line counters reels set up for walleye, 12lb big game and 10lb fluorocarbon leaders, we ran 4 inline boards per side and two riggers with spoons, which I used the walleye rods cause that's all I had. A 15lb King smashed a moonshine green Jean super glow and took off like a rocket. We had trouble controlling him, were very lucky to clear board lines as he was running hard port side. When we finally got him close he did get into inside board line. We managed to land him, and I'll admit it was a blast landing him on 10lb, but I would agree, there is a great chance of loosing tackle. This isn't like stream fishing, they have no boundaries, and I forgot to add, the salmon almost spoiled us twice. I plan on doing some early spring salmon, I will be running my normal rigger rods with 20lb flea flicker and a 20lb flurocarbon leader. Also if there were other boats anywhere near us the salmon would have been in all their gear too. Just my opinion, hope it helps

^^^^^^😂😂😀😂😂^^^100% spot on^^^^^^^!!!!!Lol

I had my dipsy fire this past Sunday, it was on a #2 setting with a Spin Doctor/atomic 225' of line out in 140' of water and I got a screamer like I only witnessed once before, and I'm no rooky, I've caught my share of kings over the past 20 years. It screamed out to 785' of line at it seamed like 20 mph. Drag was set perfectly, and this fish broke off my wire about 25' up from the diver. About $40 in tackle lost, 1 hour later I had a king hit my outside rigger set at 95' and this fish tore out to 535 feet. I was dumbfounded....we are very proud of a high percentage of hooked kings to boating kings and we went 2 for 5 on kings that morning. I've had many screamers over the years, and caught many huge kings but never had them just pull drag that fast with no let ups. Anyone else have this happen this year?

How much for this Etec?

For me around 20' early in morning, deeper, up to 55 once the sun comes out, in heavy waves and dark days they have stayed in the shallower 20' of water most of the day

I was fishing sticks, covering the top 14' of the water columne. Used a mix of bombers, Smithwicks and huskys

Eyes are here, should be good providing the weather cooperates, I went this past Sunday in a monsoon, was tough controlling boat, we caught a mix of walleyes, smallmouths and pike, quit at 10:00.....couldn't take it anymore and were frozen, lol.....all the usual walleye hotspots should have fish, NOAH is forcasting a northeast wind that I usually don't like, but that could change. Good luck, hope the little guy has a great time, there is no better feeling than sharing your favorite passion with your children!!

When I run for salmon I run 20lb flea flicker or 30lb trilene on all flasher fly rods, spoons are the same with 20lb fluorocarbon leader. All my wire dipsy rods have 30lb if flasher fly and 20lb with spoon. I tryed running 20lb fluorocarbon on my wire dipsy rods and big kings were breaking off on the strike

During the Henderson spring classic derby we decided to run to Oswego for a fun day. I only had my walleye rods with me, with 12lb trilene and 10lb seagar fluorocarbon leaders. I set a rigger with a moonshine spoon and an 18lb king smoked it. We had a nice battle on 10lb line but landed it.
