Posts: 348 braids for Spinning reels I'm new at running braids, I want to try running a top shot of 110 yds of 65-80 lbs braid on a jigging rig.

  5. Wow! nice! recently I took a 40 lber and that was a fight to remember. I'd love to get a big boy like that one We caught a few that day
  6. I believe the trans formation and changes in quality happened after Brunwick took over the Trophy line in 2000. thats what I was told when I bought mine new in 2004. The only problems I've had is replaced my livewell pump and the lettering on my dash wore completely off, thats pretty darn good for a 5 yr old boat, Oh I forgot I had to replace my horn too.
  7. I have tried products from Arorua, and Star bright and a product from Wal mart shelf, etc. and I'm not impressed with none of the products. I have a very agressive none slip and it's impossible to "buff to a shine" the grip is too deep to get into. My boat is 5 yrs old and looks like it's never been out til you look at the deck, it's clean, but dull as ever and it's driving me crazy! I don't think I could ever get the shine back. If you think Woody will do it please send me a free sample! If it works I'll send you the cost of the product and praise the stuff to everyone I know.
  8. Love my 2004 2302, great boat for the money.
  9. Well, it doesn't happen all the time, but what happens is, I'll be running on plan and she'll start to "starve for gas" ( seems like ) and stall out. My primer ball goes empty and I have a hard time squeezing up the gas. One time I though it could be a vapor lock and opened my gas cap and it worked, The primer ball primed up, the next time it happened, it didn't. I have replaced my Racor twice, thinking it was that ( in a matter of 20 hrs of each other) no water in them, and replaced the in line fuel filter as well. Coming in from a trip yesterday got on plane and after 1/4 ml. or so she started again and I had my cousin hand squeezing the ball while we were running to keep her running and after approx 2 mins. of that all went well. My motor is a 150 Merc. Salt water carbed engine, decarbed, new NGK plugs, racor and in line fuel filter. It's a 2004 with the org. primer ball and gas lines. I haven't noticed any cracks in the line or ball, and I always use Star-Tron with any gas I add, and like I said don't believe it's a water or separation problem. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
  10. I always reset my milage every trip, what or how do you convert hrs. to miles?
