The stability of inflatable boats like this are unbelievable. .. but on the flip side wind is your enemy like no other. .. bought some drift socks and working on a rudder/seat setup right now

Re: Anybody make any regretful purchases?

I usually do a couple of weeks of research before any purchases. Im one of those guys that tends to over think very purchase I make, even what kind of gum im going to buy, so I hardly ever regret getting what I get. I do however often play the "what if" game and wonder about things I've passed on. ...

Re: Treble hooks and lipless cranks help please

Generally I like #4 but like said above..... running a 6 on the belly when cranking just above coverage seems to keep it cleaner.... also I like running a red treble on the belly... not sure if it actually does anything but it makes me feel like I have some sort of an advantage compared to the guy n...

Re: curado I and weightless senkos

Well it casts the senko better than my e7 and as good or better than my t3 ballistic. .... I did also say it did great with an 1/8oz drop shot.....don't you dare imply 1 unexceptional thing about the new curado. ............ don't you ........dare! ......Lol

Re: 15lb for cranks?

I run 15# seagar fluro and for my shallow and medium cranks it works fine,,, just seems to make them run closer to the minimum depth applicable to that bait than the 10# mono I was using before... for me its worth the little bit less action and depth so I don't have to worry about hang ups and snags...
