I am looking at getting a Handheld GPS and heard from a guy here not to get the Lowrance H2O since hummingbird bought them and they dont make the chips anymore. Is this true and if so what would be the next best thing?

I stopped in at Strikemaster the other day. My auger was not cutting for junk. The blades were still sharp. The guy told me it is all about the the pitch. He checked it out on the spot and fixed that and I decided to throw another set of blades on it. Great customer service ! The only bad...

After fishing with a MarCum since the very first LX-3 model almost 10 yrs ago, I had a chance to check out the Vexilar FL-22 and decided to get one this year. I got the FL-22 Ultra Pack and love the looks of it. 1/8" target separation is one thing that sold my on the FL-22 vs. the .5" on the...

Thanks for the responses on my previous post. I ended up with a Cabelas Depthmaster II combo with 10 colors of 18lb lead core. The questions are.. 1. I should have a 30' mono leader tied to the core? 2. From my understanding, at 2 mph, each color (10 yards / 30 feet) will give me 5 feet in...

I am looking to get into lead core mainly to fish walleyes. Does anyone have and rod, reel and line recommendations? I don't want to buy super expensive stuff nor cheap stuff.

I have a HDS7 on the console and a HDS5 on the bow and I now have them networked with the yellow ethernet cable. I would like to get these 2 units set up so that they share waypoints and that is it.
