    Best piece of advice I have is to start with just a few presentations/rods and work up as you get more comfortable. Don't put out more than you can navigate with or land fish with. If this is first time doing it, I'd run riggers and either the braid or wire divers. Spoons early season seem to be generally best bet from what I've read, but I've only got a few springs under my belt myself. I've had windy days where I just run a dipsy off each side and leave it at that. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Check out General Welding in East aurora NY. They do a lot of custom work and have done a bunch of the stuff seen at the Made in America stores. Everything from fireplaces to chairs to treestands. Welding drilling bending punching water jet cutting etc. I bet they could whip up anything you could dream of. (I'm not affiliated with them, they just make some pretty awesome stuff) Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Very informative video. Chapters make it super easy to navigate and hit highlights of interest. Thanks for putting this together! As someone still learning the scene these can be of tremendous value to learning how put fish in the boat. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Okuma 30ds will do the trick. Quick reel, handles well, well made. You could go bigger for more torque or longer line coppers, but a 30 should do you well. I have 30s, 45, and 55s, 30s are nice, 45s are worry free and the larger one is probably overkill for anything other than big copper. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I'd go with 30lb big game line. I haven't had an issue with it. 20lb works, but why risk it? I suggest the solar collector one - easier to see and prevent tangles before they happen. Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    How is the motion through the water on these? Does the eye impart roll that would work with/against a flasher, or do they swim straight? Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Ah. Good luck! I do have a tackle mate, but it's not for sale . Got it used here on forums, came with a broken latch tab on the lid. I reached out to the manufacturer told them what was going on and that I bought it second hand. They asked for my name and address, and sent me a new one free of charge - top notch service, super fast delivery, couldn't be happier. So if you come across a busted one - that might be worth checking out.

    Check out the spoon crank boxes Doug sells (username dhm), there's a classifieds listing not too many posts ago. Basically the same storage idea, more flexibility and a local business. Pretty positive feedback from what I've seen too! Sent from my SM-G986U1 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    A simple list with the different item types and what you are asking for them is all folks are seeking. Something such as (fictional prices here) 8" spin doctors -$7 ea 10" spin doctors - $9 ea Atomic flies- $4ea Big weenie meat rigs - $8 ea Michigan stingers- $4 ea Magnum spoons - $5 ea Standard spoons - $3 ea And so on.... No one needs or is asking for a catalog, but these kinds of things can be summarized pretty quickly in list / table format and no need to post a thousand photos. People aren't often willing, able to, or interested in traveling to view when they can just wait for the next posting or find them on ebay and have shipped to their door in the days of covid.

    Tried software update but it wouldn't auto launch into install.... Grew frustrated and gave up after 3 micro sd's were attempted.... will try again later this week, hopefully it helps Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    Yeah, I thought so too.... had dealer install it and they even put transom saver too high IMO so it's as low as it goes. For next one I'm going to buy another saver, trim it, and attach down to lower edge, just to give me more room to play. Was a little surprised when I saw this on pickup, but it still picked up fish, just slow speeds Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app

    I'm thinking of going with garmin echo uhd 93sv. I do mostly trolling, walleye and salmon. Anyone have experience with this unit? I read good things about HB but cant get back on that horse... lowerance hook2 has some killer clearance now, but I read 50/50 good bad reviews there, not a lot out there on garmin, but what I have seen is pretty positive.

    You end up getting this? In the market now, had seen this model and it intrigued me greatly. Any feedback, or did you go another direction? Sent from my SM-G950U using Lake Ontario United mobile app
