My only complaint about elaztech (or however it is spelled) is that the material is toxic, and has a strange shelf life. I had a handful of original packages in a storage container, that had been opened but resealed, and the contents dried up and turned into something that I might have tried to smoke if I had been hard-up for a buzz. Can't tell you how many weird looking gobs of goo I have found clogging up bilge pumps and livewell recirculating pumps.....that were once little Neds. They'll eat right through SeaDeck flooring too. Ain't nothin Holy about that stuff ! If anything it comes straight from Hell. 😅 The devil's suppository!

Dibs on the Thompson A vise. 😊

I'm gradually reaching the age where the list of things I am pissed off about is just as long as the list of things I can be thankful for. So any day that I'm breathing, and walking around free of pain, is a push. 👍

There's a better one available for bow mount hand control motors. I forget the name but I have one in the shop. Here it is.... I believe the OP is looking to mount a remote steer TM though. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I don't gear fish for Smallies anymore, but I'd wager 2 old school baits that would beat, or at least match the success of a Ned rig. #1. 4" Charlie Brewer slider worm on a 1/8-3/16 slider head. #2. Mann's Stingray grub on a 1/16-1/8 Kalin darter head.

Like this?

The whole group think in professional angling has become obnoxious. If I hear one more simple minded dude drone-on about "Building his brand...Building your brand....Ya gotta BUILD THAT BRAND"..... I'm gonna puke. I mean, in a group discussion about being unique you can't all use the same cliche ! Who was the first person to use that phrase? Because he/she needs an award. That little ditty stuck HARD in the brains of the boatwrap community. Now, y'all get busy building your brand, ya hear! 🤘 Everybody that's full of one-liners and won't shut up and get off the stage in a timely fashion, so someone else can weigh a fish, is just stealing Swindell's BRAND. And anyone walking on stage in their underwear or a parka, is stealing Matt Robertson's brand. You can't do cartwheels over the scales....without Fish Fishburns permission. And don't be thanking GOD for your fish and doing Sunday service over the scales unless you want Hank Parker and Mark Davis to quit praying for ya. No more dragging your shy & petrified children up there either....unless you're gonna beat their asses like you do when you are at home. 😅 I believe the spot is open for Playboy Bunny ears and a thong 🤔

Yeah don't cut your cocaine with it !

Music to my ears. 🤗

Bandits are indestructible. How many can he possibly decorate the trees with?

I would imagine that packaging and distribution is where the little guys fall short. All bass baits, except for jigs, are seasonal (2-3 months at best) and everyone's favorite jig changes every other year it seems. When I realized that Professional Fishing was too much of a gamble for me, the only niche in the fishing world that I felt was a solid career choice was to become a Marine Technician. That has worked out fabulously for going on 30 years now, but my last year of "up to date factory training" was 2009.....and I refuse to go back to school to get tight on 4-strokes. I figured my usefulness would peter out completely somewhere around 2021....but there's still a bunch of 2-strokes out there. They aren't teaching anybody to diagnose & repair them. And the dealerships are so swamped with obligatory warranty repairs on the junk they are selling nowadays that they all turn the older 2-strokes away.....to end up HERE. 👍 Who knows how much longer they'll last, but as for now I've got plenty of work to do, and it's still coming in. 🤷‍♂️

As much as Kamala is black. So yeah 👍 If we can decide what gender we are, then why can't we decide what race we are ?

🙄

Well $#!t, you'd starve to death trying to find a woodcock. Might as well eat a woodpecker. 👍

Just curious......Who was the first person to eat one and proclaim that they were a "game bird"? 🤔

@Terrierman I'd like to report a racist post ! 🥴

Pffft.🙄 Show me a city girl that can.

He (and Cole) also do their own editing. 😅 Trust me....9-14 fish over 3# doesn't happen in 10 minutes very frequently. I don't care how good you are.

On rivers I like a flyrod, and streamers that act even sexier than a tube bait. 😊

Here's ya a 45 year old "Hover rig".

Yeah there's that! Plus I suppose that the proud inventors of the "Hover rig" missed out....or were born too late to experience the Gitzit or Tube baits. 🤔

As if serious anglers truly need the iCast crew to inform them of what baits they need. 🙄

Let me just say this: A company that produces a truly good product, or provides a truly good service, has no need to pay anyone, much less a "team", to promote them. Success as a professional angler should be a result of CATCHING FISH, not being an exceptional advertiser.

When it was 1-2 per month it was cool. Loved it. But now that there's 4 per week...... I'm totally over it.

Excellent 👌 😊
