    I'm about to respool a Mag 5 with braid after losing perhaps 40' of steel cable due to bottom bounce spindle wrap. I had read somewhere that the braid could be attached to and put OVER the remaining steel cable. However, Rich's comment leads me to realize that combining the two types will throw off the line counter. I should just remove all the steel and start fresh with the braid. Correct? Kinda embarrassed to ask.

    That fight on light tackle has to be fantastic. Are you using spinning equipment? Jigging spoons or some type of flutter spoons? Keep up the great info /pics.

    I'm looking to buy 2 or more OR 12 planer boards. Preferably with the OR 39 releases, but not a deal breaker. Thanks, Big Tom

    I have a lack of rod holders on my 18' Starweld. Right now I run 4 dual axis rod holders on 24" tracks and 2 Cannon riggers with single rodholders. When I run 2 or more sideplaners, plus 2 diver setups, I'm out of rodholders. My rod storage in the floor and gunnels doesn't allow for long rods, so I also have no safe place to store extra rod setups. I'm considering purchasing one or two rod trees, either double or triple. I see that some trees are fixed at different angles, some can be adjusted and others are angled up at the same angle. I certainly see that the adjustable trees would offer greater positioning, but is that advantage worth the added cost. I also have to consider how my popup canopy will work with a rodtree .I see Cabellas has a Millenium rod tree for a reasonable price with good reviews, but I'd also consider the big name makers. I'd appreciate any input your experiences could offer, especially from the smaller boat group. Thanks ahead.

    Looks like a great day for you, nice video. Plan to fish the same area this Monday - Wednesday out of Wilson for my first time in my new Starweld Fusion 18'. Hope the seas and fishing are just as good as were yours.

    I have a Saltist 30H on a Fish USA 8'6" rod that I wish to use for planer boards. Should I use braid or steel? Was planning on 20lb backing. Am I right that the backer should run to the release, so as to prevent damage to the chosen line? Rather confused on how to rig the setup. Thanks for any advice.

    always enjoy your reports. For us outa state boys who trailer up and pray for smooth seas/no rain, you provide a good stepping off point, almost a headstart for a hopefully successful trip for us. Appreciated...

    you initially listed several cables, are you still offering them? you now list only one
  12. Big Tom
    Pictures only show the cable for the downrigger, but your bill also shows the battery cable. Is the battery cable included?
  13. Big Tom
    Do these move both sideways and up /down like the Cannon rodholders.

    A great looking fishing family! Keep it up, and those rosy cheeks.

    Thanks for your response with the weather site. Looks like it's Olcott for launching.
