Re: Fishing Line
An easy way to compare the stretch factor of different lines is to hang a weight from two identicle lengths of mono and FC. When you do this, it is clear that mono has more stretch. That's not to say though that the extra drag from mono isn't also affecting hookset and sensitivity. When FC first cam...

Re: Average Hrs on boat per year
I think a lot of the differences in responses are because of how the question is interpreted. The original question is number of hours on a BOAT per year, but of course the number of hours on a motor are a lot less than that. If I fish 8 hours in a day on my boat, it still usually only amounts to ab...

Fidlpr depending on the cost of your repair you should contact an attorney to see if you have a case against the owner of the ramp.
