I use the Mercury Quickare now instead of Stabil. Seems they end up costing the same so I figure why not use the Mercury product. I use it with every gallon of gas to help prevent phase separation from the ethanol fuels.

I almost always use Quickleen with every gallon.

Awesome! I learned a lot from reading the 'old questions'. Look forward to the new ones.

Another vote for the Simms Windstopper gloves. I use the fingerless ones.

When making long runs, especially the first in the morning, I wear some uber thick snow gloves.

civicrr

Hmmm, still not convinced on the micro guides.

I know a lot of guys like 'em. Might have to check one out.

I'm definitely gonna pick up one of the camo rods.

civicrr

I've got a lot of the rods this year!!!

I would have bought them anyway. At this point, all my sticks are Dobyns. The chance for the loaded Ranger just sweetens the deal.

Last year, when I talked to the guys in the yellow skiffs, they said just go around by the shore. They said I could be up on plane. Where I was running, that put me pretty far from them. Saw them out by the Break late last month. It wasn't quite dawn yet & there was a little mist on the water. T...

I've been playing with the Kopper's Live Target frogs this year. I've had a good hook up ratio & they seem to be holding up.

Dobyns DX795

civicrr

I honestly didn't think it was such a big deal before. Just something to live with.

Now that the delay is there - I think it (the delay) is great.

civicrr

I like the Dobyns Champion 734. While usually reserved for feel techniques, I've also used the Dobyns Extreme DX744 with good results.

civicrr

I read that article. Was a good read with a little history in there.

Seems to me that there has been more enforcement this spring than in the last couple of years. I've seen the sheriff's boat around Orwood more this year than the last three. I saw them checking out people's numbers/tags. Even saw a bunch of people having paperwork checked. Buddy also reports seeing ...

Mercury does have a new ethanol resistant hose but it only came out in 2007 or 2008. Even this line was starting to show the effects of ethanol. As the was pointed out in the BBC links, you want to get the newest Mercury line. It is gray with blue writing. It has EPA Compliant written on it. Differ...

On the Delta, especially in summer, it is a huge benefit. Speeding up & slowing down for tight and/or blind corners, floating junk, giant wakes from those cruisers, misc idiotic boat owners, both hands stay on the wheel & you can adjust throttle simultaneously. I've had several 'family' boat...

I'd call the DFG tip line

civicrr

Perfect! Now I can read it on my laptop instead of waiting to get home & using the (larger) screen.

Thanks

I've been using One Step Detailer from Boatdacious for the last year or so. Best stuff I've found so far. No scum line even when punching! Once every third or so trip keeps the boat clean, slick & shiny.

civicrr

I think the 'mag' is great.

I just wish I could figure out how to make it bigger than 'full page'. Gotta wear my glasses to read it.......

Did you get a printout like Don suggested?

Nice.

I gotta inventory my jig boxes. Seems like its time to stock up again.

civicrr

sold. thanks WB

civicrr

Can't do it. Sale was already pending payment on the first reel before your offer.

Second reel is now also sale pending payment.

Thanks.

At the ISE Sacramento show, the guys @ the Dobyns booth said there were going to be a few Savvy models coming wrapped with micros. I didn't ask which models so couldn't tell you more than that.

I've got three of the Bullshads. Never any problems with mine.

I've thrown it for both stripers & largies in 6". Had a few fish absolutely eat it with almost the whole bait in their mouths. Definitely a bait I keep in the swimbait rotation. On his website, he is recommending 4 power rod but I feel more comfortable using my Dobyns 735C. I heard the new ...

764CB RM. It has replaced my 705CB for cranking.

Hmmmm. I mean, Hummer (

civicrr

What store it that? I've heard good things about 'em. Want to pick up some.

added in edit: Found them @ The Hook Up Tackle in Arizona.

civicrr

Congrats! Still waiting for mine.

civicrr

Thanks guys.

civicrr

What do you guys think about a Powerpole for the Delta? I think I'll use it a lot but you don't really know unless you have one.....

For those who have 'em or who backseat in boats with them, what 'cha think?

Had the Dobyns DX742SF out @ Pedro on Thursday. (Man was it cold in the morning!) Really like the rod for both dropshot & flickshake techniques. It is 7'4" long. I feel like the rod allows longer casts - good thing in clear water situations. No downside with the longer length that I can see.

civicrr

Ash, You should check out the DX795 Flip. I picked it up last year when they first came out. Little lighter tip than the 805 Flip. Still has plenty of power for punching. IMO, more sensitive & lighter in weight. No problem fishing the rod all day. I'll probably get a second one this year. :D BTW...

I've purchased stuff from Don @ European Marine. No hassle, arrived quickly & priced fairly. For people in the East SF Bay area, Boatmasters in Livermore, has the latest Mercury line (gray with blue writing, EPA Compliant) which is typically run from bulb to engine. They also have black EPA Comp...

It will also have EPA Compliant written on it.

Remember the pistol grip rods? Back then a 6' stick was pretty long. :D Pretty much every stick on the boat is 7'3" or better. The only exception is a 7' spinning stick for skipping docks. Longer casts & better line pickup as already has been posted. I think that once you go to the longer s...

Jim,
Really like your product. Makes it much easier to transport the rods. Gonna have to get me some more.

Been fighting something since Friday. Maybe that is where I picked it up.

I never unplug the TM from the bow panel. When I put the boat to bed, I turn off the switch @ the trolling motor pedal. Even though the pedal is off, I'm guessing that power is still going to the pedal. My boat came with a 50amp breaker for the TM circuit. I flip this off before charging. Since this...

civicrr

Depending on where you're fishing (lakes vs delta) & how (dragging vs pitching) I'd buy a 4 or 5 power Champion Extreme. Pick your length. DX704 & DX705 are the 7' rods. DX744 & DX745 are the 7'4" rods. Personally, I would go with a 5 power & the DX745 in particular.
