When I said I wanted to purchase several my wallet is much smaller than 6 figures, I was thinking $350.00 worth. I appreciate the answer an hope that maybe someone will take this over as it was a great product.

My biggest like is the hook is always in the top of the jaw in bone with the Nu tech and they are hard to lose. I like to hammer a hook set when jig fishing and when using the Nu tech I have a much better landing rate than with other jigs. I will look into those Picasso that Bill suggested but I really hope Phil gets these and the rumor is true

Phil, I heard a rumor you were going to be acquiring the old inventory, the molds and equipment to make the Nu Tech that Bo built. I love these jigs and am needing to purchase replacements as my inventory is dwindling. I do not want to find another jig that I can tolerate, these are the best jig made in my opinion, my hook to boat rate is far better than other brands. I cannot locate them anywhere and I need to get some.

No, the carpet in my lockers was in great shape. -

The carpet was $1500 the fiberglass repairs was $450. He added a couple of pull tabs in places that I had previously had rod straps that made good handles to open compartments while on the ground that look really nice. He also did some glass repairs on the seating area above the gas tanks due to rusted out hardware from 1987 that he said just need to be done to to the job correctly. He quoted over the phone in February when I scheduled it that it would be between $1500 to $1800 to do just the carpet, so I was very pleased with the bill when he was done. -

That seems odd, I have dealt with Jimmy directly and have never had a problem. I booked my repair in February and it took till July to get in which was fine to wait. I am not fishing right now as it is to hot to be out fishing in the daylight right now. I will get a picture of the work they did and attach it. They found some cancer in the rear deck, took out the bad wood around a seat pedestal above and behind the livewell. I got up and walked around and I am a big boy and it was solid. the repaired so broken glass on the driver seat area that is hidden by the seat and installed a really nice looking carpet. I am please. 417-880-7466, I am from Ozark as well text me and will send you pictures. I had new seat covers made for driver and passenger seats and my butt seats done as well and it is looking pretty nice. -

I just picked my boat up from getting its new carpet today, I am a little biased because it is my boat but I think the shop did an amazing job. BJ Boat Rebuilders just south of Nixa was who I used and I think it looks great. I would recommend them for you to get your carpet done. Not the cheapest I found but was true to his estimate and the work is a quality job. I have a 87 Ranger 360 that is now looking pretty sharp for a 36 year old boat. The gel coat is not great but the fish don't care. -
Garmin transducer mounted on Ultrex TM
TRRANGER replied to curtisce's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Factory i think it was a US2. I tried having Side Imaging on trolling motor and all it did was piss me off. Now with Livescope I dont need SI. Just 2d down, I have mounted my older Humminbird beside my Garmin for mapping and that is working out great. I would send pictures but my boat is at the shop getting new carpet. -
Garmin transducer mounted on Ultrex TM
TRRANGER replied to curtisce's topic in Tips & Tricks, Boat Help and Product Review
Sell your Garmin 2d transducer and use internal Ultrex it works great with less added weight and things to get in the way. Adapter cable and you are up and running. I am running 106sv with the Ultrex transducer and the LVS34 with no problems at all. I also say the bigger screen the better. BP has the 106sv for $999 worth every penny. Amazing images -
ok thank you

I am looking for 5/8 and 3/4 oz that have a wide gap hook. Not picky about head color painted or unpainted. $6.49 pack of 2 just stings a bit those are strike king and I don't care for the head design on them. I really like the fin and feather ones they have but only go up to 3/8 oz. Can we work a deal on the bigger sizes?

Wrench, just ribbing you on the rig. That is a really nice set up I would be honored to fish out of it. you built a great ride.

I am offended by you lack of color coordination of the tunes and your interior lighting. This will most certainly affect the fish catching ability of this boat.

Bill Davenport is still a hammer and still fishes with Marcus. They are always in the hunt for a check in any derby on Pomme or LOZ

Sharrow props 😵💫

I dont know if they work but they sure look cool, I know that is not a good reason to buy one but is the majority of the things we put on bass boats really serve any other purpose than to look cool. -

Fish do not care about pretty, good thing cuz I aint. This story is what will make Dutch love this rod and that you made it for Him. I have built some rods back in the late 80s with my dad and still have them in a closet and we used the Roberts Wrap and I think they worked really well. Dad had the patience to do a really beautiful multi colored diamond pattern butt wrap that was amazing. I just did basic wraps and would like at some point to start doing it again but kids are consuming to much time right now to build them myself.

2 Milk crates and a zip tie or 2 and your golden

That is terrible, those are the best jig I have ever used. What a shame.

Congrats on a good day with your son.

Congrats on recovering from a terrible accident. I joined this thread really late but since reading through it I have been praying for strength and healing for you and all involved. Glad the creek goal has been met and am sure any challenges you meet in the future will be hurdled and handled. Amen and Tight Lines. TR -
bracket 2.pdfbracket 2.pdfI could not find what I was looking for as I wanted my graph over the pedal but 9" off the deck. I wanted it higher so I could see it easier, it is not much higher than my trolling motor. I have an 87 Ranger and the side rail is 5 inches above the deck which is built different than todays new boats. I have a Garmin 10" graph, so I got a piece of flat bar 3" wide from Wheeler metal 10' for $26.00 and a buddy and I spent a relaxing afternoon drinking a few adult beverages in the shop and built exactly what I was wanting. 3" is the exact width of the factory bracket on the Garmin so it worked out very well. After bolting through the floor of my boat it was a solid as a rock. If I it breaks I will have bigger issues than needing a new graph mount as I will be replacing the front half of my boat. Took a couple of test fits by standing on the deck to get it to be exactly what I was looking for but for $26 bucks and bottle of whiskey we built a pretty nice mount. Had a friend powder coat it and I think it will last for ever. He told me that he was going to make it be pink, I told him that was fine as long as it was free.😁 I am secure and figured to save 200 bucks I could rock a pink bracket, it turned out to be an off white and it looks fine and worked even better. bracket 2.pdf

Phil, I used Dell at Aurora Canvas in Battlefield. Super People. I had a cover built for my 87 Ranger 360v. It is now 2 years old and has worked flawlessly. They were not the cheapest but it fits like my original 87 Ranger built cover does.
