The problem with the normal warranty program was the Xpeditor was cheaper than shipping in for inspection, waiting for repair or replacement and then shipped back to you. It was truly a service in that you called or filled out online, they sent the rod and shipment papers for return of broken rod. M...

I also have USAA but they do refer out to other watercraft companies. I used Progressive for a while, but they wanted raise my rate 50% two years ago with no claim on my record! I called USAA and was going to go with another company for my boat but they referred me to Foremost. Ask again if you aren...

What's the pro's and cons of the 2500 vs the 1000 size. line twist less with the 2500? I'm using 6 and 8 lb test but I know lots of guys like the bigger reels for less twist? Not a spinning reel junkie......so need some expert opinions

Rob

bantam, what's the correct way to clean the AR bearing given the plastic housing? is lighter fluid OK??? that's what I use for the other steel housed bearing.....thanks

Rob

Question for those of you who have kids under 12. what life jackets are you using during the hot months? and per the law saying "jackets must be worn while the vessel is underway" does that mean must be worn when big motor is in use? or does that include trolling motor? My kid wears at all...

Rob

What's "blue stonning"? and I thought the spraying was mainly limited to Franks for navigation reasons??? Seems lots of other places that I don't think got sprayed also are grassless (big break) but I could be wrong about the spraying. I know they've been spraying for hyacinth for years, b...

Rob

They have always been like that. Just the design I think, maybe that's why they're so good. Also why they're known as "eggshells"

Rob

I'm using the 3 power rod for spinnerbaits, chatterbait type lures, and it's an awesome spook rod......perfect action for me with good backbone for delta clear lake shallow water applications

Rob

Anybody got a number for Chris Aragon at Battery Systems?

Rob

when's the next generation arriving???

Rob

The team on John and Marty Zillig won it with an impressive 30+ lb bag............congrats to them.

I can't get any of the new DIVX videos to play. It just either freezes my browser ( goes into "not responding" mode) or the bottom says 1 item to load forever. I have newest Quicktime and downloaded the DIVX for windows and followed the help instructions and still can't get to work. Defini...

Rob

Lookin for them. website is down. AC proshop has only certain sizes. are they out of business? or web site just down? thanks

Rob

Progressive told me they made a rate change for this area.....collision part went up almost 70%, so depending on what "my area" is, if you haven't renewed you may be in for the same. I'm definitely looking at other options. I only used Progressive for their relationship to USAA in relation...

Rob

guys, who do you use and are you happy? Anyone notice a rate increase this year (recent)? My company Progressive made a 60-70% increase on the collision part of my insurance and I'm thinking of changing unless I find out it's not just them.

Rob

Anyone who's more familiar know if the Cabelas brand is a hydrostatic or dissolving pill type? The rearm kit says "water sensitive bobbin". Thanks

Rob

I've had experience with both and each time it was to my satisfaction. I have used both Loomis' Xpeditor and also sent rods in for warranty repair. I have never had a hassle with either service. If the rod is truly a warranty issue ie rod handle coming loose etc (that was my issue with an older rod ...

Rob

I want to know and hopefully Tom will shed some light on the other issues, how a 2 mile release rule was thought up? Surely it's not a state rule as I've fished plenty of tournys elsewhere and never heard 2 miles out before. What point is there to take fish 2 MILES out? rather than 1/4 mile etc........

Rob

which shipping is $5? I checked USPS and it came up $9 and with a note that tax might be added later...........

Rob

Chris, Do-it makes a football mold with 90 degree hook. It's made for lighter wire hook, but you can modify easily depending on the difference in hook shank diameter. Since the molds are aluminum they can be modified rather easily by putting the hook you want into the mold and simply closing and aga...

Rob

I had two instances of the very same nature. My partner and I went up there along with some friends and of the 3 rms we had, 2 had been overcharged for 1 or more nights. They actually tried to tell one of us that we DID stay for more than the 2 nights. CRAZY. Getting worse at that place, food is cra...

Rob

Cooch, the best thing you can use is Devcon 2 ton epoxy. Most do it yourselfers use this to clear coat baits after painting. the pluses are very strong, dries CLEAR and it's waterproof not waterresistant. Downside is ya gotta let it set overnight to get max strength. I use nothing else when gluing s...

Rob

I use the lifetags and they are great. I hated the big holes also. $40 is nothing if you think about it. You pay $16 for rip bait etc.... which you can lose, whens the last time you lost a culling clip??

Rob

Regardless of the rules, aren't there just common courtesy rules? I didn't post before as I didn't want to start a bash-fest, but I was at Clear lake during the Stren and TWICE I had guys in the tourny come in on me, off plane within 1-2 boat lengths IN FRONT of me smile, and start fishing. Couldn't...

Rob

yes but under that section the hobby expenses are subject to the 2% rule so depending on your income and other expenses you may or may not get a deduction and even so it is limited to anything over 2% AGI.

Rob

another thing that guys don't realize and this may change your views somewhat. I have a few mounted fish from over 20 years ago and while they still exist, they don't look all that great now. Even prepped the fins and such tend to dry out and they are at this point very fragile. Also, I think the co...

Rob

I'm in if the date fits my schedule....$500 or $1000

Rob

I had same issue with interference with MK and Lowrance. I have Max Pro 101 on new boat and in deep water screen blackout. I had internal ground put on under warranty and it took care of it, period. I understand that the internal ground is standard on new models but prior to 06 may not have. I also ...

Rob

Anybody hear any news of what's going on?

Rob

Jimmy and Marc,

thanks for the replies, but my question was really regarding the XCF 705 vs XCF 705R both are glass and action on website listed as fast. Specs slightly diff but I wanted to know what the real diff was regarding action or power. they gotta be different somehow......

Rob

I've got a question regarding Lamiglas Cert Pro Glass rods, and what the difference is between XCF 705 and the 705R? Specs are pretty close, but not same. Specifically, what's the diff in action? Thanks

I bought a new Ranger last year from C&C in Citrus Heights and can't say enough about Mike and the guys. Great outfit, and Mike is a straight shooter, no BS. I hate BS and everything he said was on the mark. They have also done right by me on any issues I've had. Can't ask for more than that. I ...

Rob

Cooch hit it right on the head. First of all it is competition, and fishing against the best only makes you better. I've donated my share, but its all good because I had fun, enjoyed the competition and fishing against guys who consistently bring in big weights should push you to figure out how they...

Rob

why did almost all orgs go to 5 fish? Seems to me that if a team can't both be there and need the points then one fishes and takes a little medicine (5 instead of 7)? Did the orgs all give in to try and entice more anglers? If any of the orgs are out there and can answer I'd sure appreciate it. I ai...

Rob

I think 15.85lbs will do it.......

Had the same thing happen to my dog a few years back, when it's that direct, doesn't even smell like skunk but something worse. Better yet she kept trying to get close to me so I could help her, and I was running like h_ll, looked like she was chasing me at 4 in the morning. Anyways, it's supposedly...

Rob

This was my first year fishing AC and here's my take. I had never met nor seen Mark and initially wasn't sure who was MC'ing the check in. The comment to be quiet or "I have no problem DQ'ing everyone" initially struck me as wrong and out of place to a bunch of adults. However, I in passin...

Rob

I bought a memo boat last time out from KB and couldn't have been happier. I do think you have to make sure it is from someone who takes care of the boat as some people don't and wouldn't even if was theirs for keeps. I am waiting on a new boat now and would have done another memo type boat but need...

Rob

They don't have it in bulk, only Merc oil. Anyone else know of a place??

Rob

Any shops or dealers in the Sacto area selling Yamalube in bulk? and if so how much per gallon???? Thanks
