Re: Ned Rig questions

Does your lake have crawdads? Do you fish it in/around rocks? I have found that this bait mostly appeals to fish feeding on crawdads. I rarely get bit when I fish it around areas without rock. Color does not seem to matter much as the lighter ones will just look like a newly molted crawdad. Also, tr...

Re: Crankbait Rod for 5/16 to 1/2 cranks

If you are willing to go with a used rod try to find a G Loomis CBR 845 or 847 with the split handle. Best crank rod I have used and new they ran around $210 so used should run no more than about $150. I have not used the E6X Loomis so I cannot recommend it one way or the other.

Re: 225 Opti problem

Take off the cap of reservoir on the engine. Turn the motor on and let the reservoir fill up to full before replacing the cap. Shut down and when you start back up the light should not be lit. If that does not work you may have a cracked oil line to replace.
