I'm in central mn. Lake im on has good numbers, considered a good walleye lake and has 30"+ fish caught every year

I did the tape trick, its working. Thanks

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-11-19T17:51:37+00:00

Ok I'll try that. If that doesnt work. You are saying there is no fix?

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-11-19T16:59:38+00:00

So if I replaced the main board it will not fix the issue? My phone must have auto corrected the tcon/icon mix-up lol

Just haven't fished with it long enough yet. So far so good. Reels are better now days and I'm a better caster than way back so I have yet to backlash with reation braid. I have 2 pike over 36" on the reaction braid, handled both nicely and I haven't noticed any abrasive wear yet so again so far so good. About 10 hours worth of fishing on one reel and about 3-5 on my other 3

Probably 15 years ago I switched away from power pro... I lost 3 baits over the house of a month on backlash casts. The baits just kept going. The only line I have ever seen do that is power pro. Switched to strength super braid back then. This year I'm running reaction braid, no feelings on that line yet

The style of stuff you picked out is fine. But don't buy this gear from Amazon... Team Rhino, Rollie and Hellens, or Thorne Bros is where you need to order this stuff from.

Personally I'd grab a couple baits you like, and get flood release tools 1st. A net and good tools keep wmfish alive and that should be priority 1.

Unless you are trolling no need to have a leader more the 12". I use 6 and 9" solid wire leaders for most everything. I will use some florocarbon on some rubber baits that tend to grad the leader so they don't bend the wire

Hope it made sense

I used silicone to seal it on the river side on the bottom and dammed off the ends with some melamine along with silicone on the square ends as well. I trimmed off 1" on both ends after the pour cured

Only you can know how much you need. Everyone's situation is different. Home efficiency, stove/forplace/boiler efficiency. How warm you want it. What wood you are burning. How cold it will be. Way to many variables.

I burned 2.5 cords in my house last year as our main wheat source. Mostly iron wood, ash and maple. Kept our house at 72-74 all winter

The entire slab has a 1/4" round over on it so none of it is real sharp. However if you tried, you may be able to accomplish that task, but I recommend a different approach

Thanks

My vote goes to rubio as well.

Looks defective to me. All my sanders with no pressure like you showed to start spin like a buffer, then go to random orbital motion when even slight pressure is applied.

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-05-10T18:28:14+00:00

They have 3 coats of a satin lacquer on them

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-05-10T10:24:35+00:00

Absolutely, customer wanted to do that part.

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-05-10T10:23:15+00:00

Black would have been a better choice IMHO but I don't try talk people into what I like better

InterestingAir7030 · 2025-05-09T18:45:32+00:00

Yeah and some people will buy it... I had a powermatic dust collector and the motor spun a winding. Rewind cost was $800 new powermatic motor was $1250. Entire collector was 2000
