I've owned tdr's for 20 years, caught my biggest landlocked on one. That being said, they are a club. Still own them and still fish them. Good rod for the money, not as sensitive as others. Good luck, Matt
Just did the same thing alittle differently. 1/2 cpvc (2.50 at the depot) cut 3 1/2 in long with a slit on one end 1" deep. The slit is for the single hook on tandem flies, pull tight and everything stays neat. Good luck, Matt
Check out the Lund Sport Angler. Mine is the 18' but fishes much bigger, have had it in seas larger than my liking and performed better than me. Fit and finish is really good as well. Powered by a 115 Honda and a 9.9 kicker. If I did it again I would opt for the 135. Good luck with the search!
ps. you do give up comfort when running with this style boat but the trade off is worth it
Anyone know where to find a wire dipsey dive chart? Blood runs site only has copper charts. My local lake isn't deep enough to chart it my self with a TD. Thank you, Matt
When calibrating I find it helpful to move the rigger to the side of the boat to get the hawk away from the boat turbulence. I then calibrate the hawk to gps speed never paying attention to the fish hawk paddle wheel speed.

Leave the poor guy alone, people try to sell stuff here for way to much money all the time. Last week some guy listed two Okuma reels for absolute retail and someone bought them. Pays to do your homework.
