There should be some screws that attach the bottom front of the seat, feel with your hand along the carpet in the front edge, on my 01 thats where they are, when removed just wiggle the seat up there should be a metal bracket in the back that slips into another bracket. Hope that helps Steve

I have both jacket and parka and bibs and the non- insulated is fine for around the Delta, Berryessa and south, but if you fish father north you may want the insulated or dress in layers with the non insulated

Steve45

Don't forget to bring extra warm clothes with you and something hot to drink just incase.

Gary Loomis went back to making blanks again and the company that he started is called North Fork Composites out of Washington State, cause Shimano is no longer selling G.Loomis blanks to us Rod builders. Steve

Steve45

I wish they still made these, I have caught a load of bass on the 1/4 and 3/8oz summer moss jig. I still have a few of the jigs but won't part with them. I used a 3/8 this past weekend on the delta and caught most of my fish on it. Steve

Wearing your license law I believe has been reversed and by the 1st of Jan 2010 you will no longer have to wear on your person your license, I know this doesn't help the situation right now but I was reading an article in the WON newspaper and it was because of situations like hats being lost and li...

I had a 1997 Dodge with the V-6 and it sucked the gas and there wasn't enough power unless you are going to pull a 14' aluminum boat, so I traded it in and got a 1998 V-8 5.2 318cid still alittle weak on the power side but it was a major inprovement over the V-6. I pull a 2001 TR-20 Triton. The truc...

Steve45

Had a guy from our Bass club with a Honda EU2000 that hooked my boat and two other boats up to charge with no problems. I'm looking at getting one myself, I tried a regular 2500 generator to plug in, to charge my batteries but it wouldn't work, it has to be a pure sine wave generator like the Honda ...

You can try DHMtrailer.com they have just about everything, they are out of Sacramento

Nov 1st to Dec 31st Open from Knights Landing to Red Bluff. Only one fish may be taken per day. Steve

Steve45

Sure glad I custom build all my lamiglas rods myself so I know I won't have a problem with spinning reel seats and the cost of a blank is way less than a factory rush job.

Steve45

Launch at B&W and head up the Georgianna slough throw a Lucky Craft LV Max Chartruse shad, Jigs and craw cranks, fish the left side and right where the tree's over hang. Fish the high tide or out going. There are a mix of Smallies and largemouth there also try the Oxbow marina, I have done good ...

Steve45

Nice rod, Rick. I myself have built a few Batson Rainshadow rods 12 total from the SW967 that my friend and I use for swimbaits down to the IMB822.5 that I use for dartheading. Had a club tournament this past weekend in the delta and used my 905 Rainshadow flipp'n rod I built to take second on sunda...

Steve45

I use the 6-8 Fluoroclear P-line on my spin outfit and it is without a doubt strong, limp and sensitive. On my baitcasters P-line 15-20 100% fluorocarbon for jigs and worms.

Steve45

I understand that the Revo's have 24 pounds of drag, that said, I would look at that, although I use the shimano Castaic on my Lamiglas custom Frog rod. Steve

Steve45

Ditto on the Rainshadow SW967 I working on my 6th one now to go with my dark rainbow Slammer, I'm building a Lamiglas senko rod using the IM700 blank and 2 weeks ago built a lamiglas 7'2 XMG LMB864 sweet rod split grips and working on a Loomis 6'9" spinnerbait rod also. It's an addiction can't ...

Steve45

Like Dan, before I started building my own rods also I bought 3 of the Tierra rods MED, MED/HEAVY and a flipp'n stick to replace rods stolen out of the boat. They're nice rods and fish alright and I do on occasions use the med 7' but I like my own custom rods better. Steve

Steve45

I've had my Dual Pro 3 bank charger for 7 years and not one problem with it. Steve

Steve45

BPS has cranking rods on sale now for 39.99 hard beat

Steve45

I'd use a 17mm, unless you have real small hands, I build all my rods using Fuji exposed and non-exposed reel seats using a 17mm very comfortable on the hand. Steve

Steve45

Get yourself some U-40 Permagloss urethane rod finish. you can get it from Acidrod.com Steve

Steve45

Got them all over my 01 Triton and was told they would fix the cracks but I would have to take it up to Red Bluff to have it done and it would take awhile due to the back log the guy had, needless to say I said forget that I'll learn how to do it myself. Steve

Steve45

Bob, has them at Custom tackle supply, it's where I get mine cause I build my own rods. Just do a search and type in Custom Tackle Supply and e-mail Bob. He'll get you set up. Steve

Steve45

Sorry, Rodbuilding.org

Steve45

Carlton, Checkout Rodbuilder.org there are plenty of sponsor's there to hook you up with the Batson Rainshadow blank. Steve

Steve45

I have built 4 Rainshadow's SW967 for myself and for a friend of mine. He throws the Slammer on his shadow as do I but I also throw other swimbaits on mine. We went to Clear lake last year when I first built our shadow's and he and I put them through the tests, The blank is definetly parabolic and l...

Steve45

Senko all the way

Steve45

I have 3 and plan to pick up acouple more. I had the older one but like the newer one better feels good in my hand and love the instagage for flipp'n and pitch'n.

Steve45

I have the Luna 300 and like it very much, I did get it for my birthday from a good friend, that I have built several Swimbait rods for and was going to get one for him for Christmas, I can say this, that I have caught 2 bass this year using the Luna 1 that went 11 pounds and the other went 10.90 po...

Steve45

Size A is what you want to use,

Steve45

I've built many rods and have used Mudhole for reel seats, guides and fore and rear grips, also check out Rodbuilding.org for other help building your rod you'll be glad you did. Steve

Steve45

Stayed most of the day in the Moke and caught 20 mostly on black/blue Senkos and my punching rig with a june bug Brush Hog, most of the bass were small and nothing over 4lbs. Steve

Steve45

I fished on the Moke yesterday and was punching the weeds on the out going tide, just fished it where there were fast drop off's into 14 feet and did manage to stick a nice 8.9, water was almost Gin clear. Steve

Steve45

I work at CocaCola and have it great and what I mean is I work the Grave shift 10:30pm to 7:00am so when I get off I have rod in hand or when everyone is going to work on Monday morning I'm going fishing.

Steve45

Yeah, I was fishing a spot off of San Joquin river a couple of weekends ago with my nephew and felt what I thought to be a tap so I set it hard and the fight was on but to my surprise it wasn't a bass but a turtle and it caught it in the web of foot, well we got it on the boat removed the hook took ...

Steve45

Check out Oxbow marina cranks ans jigs, it's right off of Georgiana Slough. Steve

Steve45

Did the law change for the age for a fishing license to 14 or is it still 16. I looked for some info on the DFG Web site but can't find anything. Thanks for any help. Steve

Steve45

Ditto on the Castaic reel. I have 3 and they work out great for Punch'n, Pitch'n, and Flipp'n.

Steve45

I'am doing my own right now. It's not hard just time consumming, Got 2 replaced and will replace the other 2 this week. If you want to do it yourself shoot me an e-mail and I'll help you out. Steve Basschamp61@comcast.net

Steve45

Check with DHM Enterprises in Sac. They have a web site so just type in DHM Enterprises on yahoo or any other one you use. Got my brake pads and brake parts from them for my Triton. They also work on trailers. Steve

Steve45

I just got done building a Lamiglas 7'2" split grip heavy action rod for Frogs and have to tell you it is a beast, Plenty of back bone and will cast a frog far into the slop. Frist tried it out at Clear lake to put it through it's test and it fished great, When you stick a bass with that blank ...

Steve45

I have the Rainshadow SW967 which is a saltwater rod 8' and a Diawa Luna 300 that I got for my birthday and I like this rod so much i'm planning building 2 more.

Steve45

What an awesome swimbait. My buddy and I caught 2 bass 30 minutes apart at Clear Lake today over 10 pounds. Are 5 best went 34 pounds and in the wind with lots of hook ups. No big price tag on these baits. Steve

Steve45

Sorry, Balanced

Steve45

The rear tires wear the fastest due to the brakes, You might want to check the the air in the tires to make sure that all are inflated the same and also maybe rotate and have them blanced. Hope this helps Steve

Steve45

I purchased one last time but didn't know there was any problems with it till I fished it and it sank right away. I e-mailed River 2sea but they made no attempt to e-mail me back. Needless to say I have never bought a lure from them again. Steve

Steve45

Just go out and get yourself a spool of the above mentioned lines and choose for yourself. You're the best judge for want you like. I personaly fish P-line on just about all my rods and reels eccept for 3 and I use Stren Braid, it's because I like that line and it has worked for me. Steve

Steve45

It's hard to believe that these states have the money to put up on a Bassmasters Tourney, some of the states mentioned for tournaments are some of the poorest states in the union.

Steve45

Dual Pro is the way to go, have had mine for 6 years with no problems and a onboard charger that charges the trolling motor batteries on the go.
