Re: heavier wire/duty Drop shot hook
Owner rig-n-hooks are stout. The sizing seems a little different than other ewg type hooks, so don't go by the size number.

Re: When to buy new batteries for trolling motor

Tom McClintock is my representative in Placer County. He represented southern California districts for many years. A few years ago he moved to a historically conservative district in Northern California.
