Well then maybe the SWPA should be putting out the information. That way the USACOE won't have to blame someone else for their mistakes, errors in judgement, lack of management skills etc. As they do now, have done in the past, & will in the future. At least this time they did not blame the UNITED STATES CONGRESS.

Yeah well, someone should pick up the phone & call them, let them know that they must have some kind of a plumbing problem or someone just keeps flushing the toilet as water has been running since 5:00 PM. I am sure this is the 1st. time they have told us 1 thing & then done another. RIGHT ???????

Either & / or both of the Sparks twins can " HOLD OR TWIST MY TILLER HANDLE " any time they would like.

At any of these, LOWES or MENARDS or HARDWARE STORE in the electrical section find the " SMALLEST WIRE TIE " they carry & you are done. Quick & easy & not bothered by any " LURE JUICE " !!!!!!! Also if you feel the fish care they are available in various colors, black & / or white being the most common.

SUFFIX 832 BRAID ( & / OR ) DAIWA J BRAID 8. With a fluor. leader ( OR MAYBE NOT ) depending on the lure.

I can make a whole bunch of trips to CANADA, TEXAS, & TENNESSE for that kind of money & catch just as many fish out of my boat as you will out of that RANGER. If I had that kind of money to throw around I would go out & buy a new pick up & new boat motor trailer & still get back change.

Good luck trying to figure out what or why they do what they do. This has gone on the exact same way for the last 15 years & they could care less. They are covered in teflon & have the perfect escape & answer each & every time. It's our congress that causes it, " YEAH BS " !!!!!!! Several years ago after one of the floods one of our elected officials Claire Mc Kaskill ( MAY HAVE THE SPELLING WRONG ) claimed she was going to launch an investigation into why this continued to happen & why so many peoples lives have continued to be devastated by these events time & time again, someone was going to have to accept responsibility for this. Well guy's nothing has changed & it won't as long as we accept their " BS EXCUSES " !!!!!!! I wish I had a job where I could say, " SORRY NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY, IT'S THEIR FAULT, & BY THE WAY NOTHING I CAN DO " & walk away.

Now I understand. Government controlled = " NO COMMON SENSE & NO LOGICAL THINKING " = another " FUBAR " !!!!!!!

After all these years did they finally hire someone with some " COMMON SENSE & LOGICAL THINKING " to push the buttons ??????

A lot of good suggestions, always start with the most likely & obvious 1ST. Wheel & tire out of balance, bent wheel, belt in tire shifting, etc. One thing I did not see mentioned & a lot of folks don't know is that drive shafts are also balanced, ( VERY IMPORTANT ON ANY 4 X 4 ) if they throw a weight & become unbalanced you will get a vibration. Crawl under your truck & look for a " CLEAN SPOT" ( THIS IS WHAT NORMALLY APPEARS AS THE WEIGHTS ARE INSTALLED WHEN THE DRIVE SHAFT IS NEW & CLEAN NOT AFTER THEY ARE RUSTED & DIRTY ) along the drive shaft. Find one & you may well have found your problem & it's off to the drive shaft shop we go.

If you want something a little different that is not fluoro. & not mono. but is very good & not BIG $$$$$$$ try YO-ZURI HYBRID. It is a very good line for most applications, not all, but most. Whatever you do " STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM BERKLEY VANISH " unless you enjoy a product that will put you right in the middle of a " FUBAR " situation.

As a " USDA CERTIFIED CARD CARRYNG LIFETIME MEMBER TACKLE JUNKIE " that just about does it, time to add another room to the house !!!!!!! " MY GOD " when will they stop ???????

For years I have said & told anyone that would listen, " USE VANISH & THAT'S WHAT YOUR LURES WILL DO " !!!!!!! By far, the worst line I ever used.

I think you have been provided a great deal of good solid info. in the replies here. Do not overlook the reply re. rod length, the length will be critical & a great deal impacted by your height & how you position yourself during the retrieve. I am 5' 10'' & anything over a 6'6'' rod creates a problem for me with hitting the side of the boat or slapping the rod tip on the water ( AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ABOVE ) or worse yet both happening @ the same time during the retrieve. I can use a 7' rod all day long for crank baits & other techniques but not for jerk baits, spinner baits or top water. I know several folks that use a 5' 6'' short handle rod for those 3 techniques to eliminate these 2 problems. Also, you may find you can be more accurate with a shorter rod as it makes for easier side arm casts when working cover. Enough said. As far as a rod, LEW'S.

Don't know why it would not let me spell heck BENDER but for some reason it would not.
