Hey, nice Kistler Magnesium :D I just got my first Z-Bone Kistler LE and will be test driving it this weekend. I have flipped with it my pool and I can see a little bit of a difference between micros and standard size. I have been told by a number of guys that it does make a difference. But until I...

Yes, I have been using them for over two years now and they are the real deal. Interesting about Phenix, I was at their warehouse Tuesday to exchange a broken blank that I broke, it was a X12. It had Spiral wrapped micros that I built. I met Jeff and spent over 45 minutes chatting with him about va...

Here is the last tweet from Tackle Tour's twitter page.. Will micro guides become mainstream or are they just a fad? One thing for sure they do feel different and lend to an overall lighter rod.. http://www.tackletour.com/images4/pictkistlermicromg16.jpg http://www.tackletour.com/images4/pictkistler...

Anyone out there have any rods with them..?
I know Tony Lain has them on a few of his rods and they look great and make the rod feel alot lighter..
Anyone else using them yet?

PS... Phenix is in the process of making me two rods with micro guides so I can't wait!

Hey Rick,
Whats the hours of access to the storage location and does it have electrical hookups?

Rod Wynn

I think poking a hole in a fish, regardless of where you poke the hole, is a very bad idea. You are creating a portal for infection, and possibly permanent damage. If you take your time you can easily get the hook between the last gill arch and the gill plate. Just take your time and it causes abso...

You guys can go to Lowrance's page on Facebook and see these screenshots and more. We just launched the page last week. Become a fan and see what's going on, ask questions and post some of your own stuff. I asked a sonar question on one of the sonar images that is in the "LSS Images" fold...

I not sure how this turned into a "who catches more" debate but I never assumed nor mean't it to go that route when I started this thread.. Just trying to see who else is "nerdy" enough to take the time to capture some images.. BTW..The bottom line is that you do have to catch so...

you can see the reflection in the meter of me driving around the lake with my head phones on bumping.

That's a nice shot!
What were you bumping?

LOL @ Lacy and not being a believer.. TEHO

Hey John, you should go ahead and throw in a Blank SD card in your second slot on your unit so you can "Screen Capture" the images directly within the unit itself.. All you need is like a 2GB SD and you will be all set..

Nice images though..

Rod Wynn

I really don't believe in these sidescans I believe they have a computer in them and when it sees something it just gives you a picture of what it thinks it is ? Not what it really is .How many times have you metered fish , a bunch of fish, that show up on your graph then put a aqua view down and i...

What makes you say that..?

IMO, I think DVL is exactly where it should be.. Lakes 1 and 2 should be changed to Delta and Clear Lake.. 4 and 5 could be flip flopped with alot of lakes..

If Crews had not caught a 5 in the last seconds of the Delta event, the West Coast would own both of the Tour Circuits..Bass and FLW.
