I have a Cougar with a 225 Opti and a 26 pitch Trophy. When I bought it, it had 2 of the large diameter PVS plugs, and used to wash the prop a lot. I am now running 4 of the mid-diameter PVS plugs, and it corrected the problem. I still have to let off a bit when I am getting out of the hole, but it'...

Re: Which flourocarbon line for spinning reel?
For all the brands of flourocarbon that I've tried, you'll need a large diameter spool to keep 14-15 pound test from uncoiling. My 17 pound flouro doesn't even cast very well on a baitcaster. But, I love the sensitivity. I only use up to 10 pound flouro on the small spinning reels (2500's) and 6-8 o...

Re: Another problem….what’s the issue with 2-strokes?
My understanding is that the two-cycle bans aren't really a result of global warming concerns. As was pointed out earlier, with a two-cycle engine, a lot of unburned fuel goes directly into the water. This is not the case with DFI motors, but can be a problem with EFI and the old carbuerated engines...

I don't know about the legality, but I buy needles at a animal feed store on Grant Line Road in Elk Grove. Most feed stores sell them. I think they are .25 or .50 each. Buy the ones with the green sleeve. They are the thicker needles and clog less often.
