What really upset me about this deal was I pay an annual ramp fee Corp Pass to the USACE to launch at all Corp ramps WHICH Long Creek was built by the Corp, so why when money bags Morris decides he wanted to build an eye sore on a really good point, then he has the nerve to charge me for launching. I do not have single problem with him charging day use fees to the campers or people that have not paid the Corp ramp fee but to charge me an extra 5 just to launch is upsetting. When he first bought it I was coming down with a High Schooler prefishing for an event and a really nice lady told me they were gonna start writing tickets for it and I politely said that was fine and fished 2 more days and she waved at me both days as we pulled out. I never got a ticket.

Drop it in water it dies too.

I in the past changed a bilge pump on the water while the 2 high school kids I was coaching fished. I kept all batteries hooked up and running the trolling motor in an 87 Ranger 360v. I am now much older and can still do it but FOR $45.00 bucks I would pay just to not have to strain and stand on my head to swap them out. Those 31 series batteries are heavy and awkward to get wrestled out of the hole they put them in. I just had mine out and paid one of the boys that I coached to pull them, I am not rich by any means but money well spent and he can use the extra cash for important things like girls and fishing tackle.

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. -

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.

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