Safety First / Re: Safety tip for parents of toddlers
« on: January 31, 2025, 07:57:27 AM »
Years ago, my niece choked on one of those. Luckily, she was able to cough it back out with a little help for her mom. My son was the same age so I tossed anything that had a simple Velcro closure for the batteries and used Loctite on everything that had a screw cover.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Kokanee Rod Recommend

Great choice Pickitup. Now just pair it with a quality line counter reel and you're good to go. Post up when you are going and if you want company. I'm sure several will join you. The 3rd Annual Bullards Bar Fish-n-Chill is coming up in May. It's a great time and you'll be able to put your new rod to use there. Bullards is loaded with Kokanee.

Wanted To Buy / Re: Need a new Truck

Al, Something to consider. My 2010 Sequoia 5.7 V8, 381Hp with over 200k miles is getting 15 in the city and 19 Hwy. The same year Tundra 5.7 V8 381Hp is 15 city and 20 Hwy. The same year Tacoma 4.0 V6, 236Hp gets 16 city and 20 Hwy. There is only a 1 mile per gallon difference and the extra capacity and horsepower are worth it to me.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Kokanee Rod Recommend
« on: January 21, 2025, 12:27:32 PM »
I use the Eagle Claw Featherlight Kokanee Special 7'6' rods paired with Abu Garcia Max DLC's. They work great on a down rigger or using the sliding weight system. The action is fast enough so you an detect the slightest hit but they have enough backbone to handle larger fish. I have caught kokanee, Trout and landlocked Kings with them. Some people will say you need a $100+ rod but that's just them saying "Mine is bigger than yours and cost more, so it's better". If you pair the Eagle Claw with a descent reel that has a quality drag, you'll be fine.

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: Identify this rigup?
« on: January 17, 2025, 02:34:28 PM »
Yep, back bouncing/trolling for sure. Took me a second though cause the orientation on the pic. Obviously the lead would go on the snap. I have no idea what the Green thing is though.

100% agree, The Casio's are relatively cheap and can take a ton of abuse. I always mounted one on the crossbar pad on my dirtbike. They never failed me through all the crashes, water, mud, blood and beer.

General Fishing Tips / Re: Tips for Winter Trout Trolling
« on: December 20, 2024, 10:31:48 AM »
I love my toys too, including the DR!  But I find that it's easy to use an inline weight to change the running depth of my top-line by a few feet. 

These are what I use:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08YNJWTNW/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B08YNJWTNW&pd_rd_w=a0gWA&content-id=amzn1.sym.386c274b-4bfe-4421-9052-a1a56db557ab&pf_rd_p=386c274b-4bfe-4421-9052-a1a56db557ab&pf_rd_r=CP6NSREHHHYMJBW3Y1XZ&pd_rd_wg=RukVa&pd_rd_r=78623682-f4ae-457a-8ec6-7991caa7b997&s=sporting-goods&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfdGhlbWF0aWM

100%, I've messed around with down riggers and lead core setups but always end up going back to the sliding weight method. Not judging anyone that uses those systems, but for me, it's the KISS rule. No cables or clips. No having to tie mono to lead core. Just clip on the weight and drop'r down!

General Talk / Re: 20 Years of NCKA!
« on: December 20, 2024, 08:46:46 AM »
I was lucky enough to stumble on this site back in March 2021. During that short period, I've met, fished and camped with some of the legends here and a lot of other like minded Knuckleheads'. My only regret is that I didn't find it sooner. NCKA is truly the best site and has the best people out there. Thanks to all that have helped me on the way.

Happened to me a few years back. Bastards stole 3 lighted wire deer off the front lawn. I have purchased them again but now I chain them to the patio post. They'd have cut the chain or half destroy the decorations to get them now!

Tim, you are correct about them being near the surface. I use two rods and start my day with little or no weight, long lining 5 and 15' down. I fish one with a dodger and one without. Let the fish tell me what they want and then make depth and presentation adjustments. I was hoping to get out this weekend but it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate.

Hobie Kayaks / Re: 2021 Outback rod holder for trolling
« on: December 17, 2024, 08:35:31 AM »
I have Scotty's on my Feelfree Moken and Ram Mount's on my Oldtown Big Water. Both have 8" risers and 6" extensions outward. I prefer them mounted on the rails as far forward as I can get them. That way I can see the smallest hit and they are out of the way during re-entry should the need arise.
