would you consider breaking them up? if you will tell me the size on the hot n tots? I have no use for the other baits. you can send me the size and price by pm. and I would need them shipped. I only want small size hot n tots.

i've found the cheaper braid is almost as good as name brand . I bought china power pro off ebay way cheaper than name brand it has worked great for me. you just don't want it unless it has 8 strands. I;ve used off brand while fishing down in florida that stood up as well as name brand. I have had it cut off when it got into the rocks. but i've only had a few breaks with 40# off brand. I did have a rod break when the fish was about to get into the pilings on a bridge.

some one can get a nice set of riggers and just replace the motors. at bigjon.com the heavy duty motors are 179.00 but you might find them if you do a search on line. I have big jon pro tournament. the auto stopped working on both riggers after very little use.

they can be shipped in a usps priority box for around 15.00 flat rate up to 70 lbs. I shipped 50 lbs of lead to a guy last yr but don't remember just what it cost. the flat box will hold both weights. if you don't find what you want here look on ebay. they are only around 70.00 for 2 of them.

I like the traxstech stops.

I would go with tracks for running divers. that way you can adjust your rod holders as needed. I think all the track are all the same. I use cannon tracks which are good and heavy duty. and they are competitively priced. I also love the cannon single axis ratcheting rod holders for running my divers. they adjust up and down with one hand. then when a fish hits or just to bring the rod in grab the rod and lift and the holder ratchets to the upright position with no more leaning over the side of the boat. you can find them for less than 80.00. I found them at hodgesmarine.com for just over 74.00 each. hope this helps.

I like the single axis cannon ratcheting holders better than the duel axis. the duel axis adjusts from one pin hole to the next from side to side. where as the single axis can be adjusted as little or as much as you like up to 70 degrees each way. I almost switched to the traxstech holders because they have 17 up and down adjustments with the lowest one below level. but I bought one off ebay to check them out before I invested the money. I liked the up and down adjustments better than the 6 adjustments on the cannon. but the cannon can be set with only one hand and the traxstech takes both hands. so I decided to stay with the cannon because it much easier to set the holder with a rod in your hand. I like the stops on traxstech better than the cannon. but I bought cannon with my rod holders so i'll just keep using the cannon stops.

i'll give you 60.00 for the pancake weights with shipping. you can ship them in a flat priority usps box at the post office for around 10.00. you can ship up to 70 lbs for a flat rate.

I don't always get my dr balls if I use light weights. I use 13# pancake weights now and usually mark them. what I did on my finder to get a good arch on fish was speed the scroll up when trolling.

yes you can get a flange that it will screw into. the backing plate should be somewhat larger than the flange as most of the pressure will be on the backing plate.

it really depends on just how deep you want to fish. clip on weights are used on erie to get down to the fish on the western basin. you can use any leads you want from 6' in front of the spoon to 60' then clip on the weight usually 1 or 2 oz weights are used. then let the weight out to get to the desired depth. the inline weight can also be used to get the spoon down. the inline weight is used a lot on the central basin on erie. a 3 oz weight is usually used then to get to deeper depths. you can find inline weights at rednekoutfitters.com which also has a depth chart for there weights. the depth will depend a lot on speed, the slower you go the deeper your lure goes, the faster you go the shallower your lure will be.
