K, Boar, take you up on it! I'd love to get somebody in MN or WI or SD or ND fishing walleyes with these.

We have a fish photo offer that gets you free spinners for every picture sent that was caught on a FCS spinner. Has some rules, but pretty simple. 1 picture = 1 free spinner. Buy four spinners, you can send me a picture for a free one.

Buy 12, you can send 3 pictures and I'll send you 3 more.

I put the pictures on the HSOforum, so picture of a fresh catch looks best.

Anyway, I'll be putting a walleye drawing on the blog for June in the next few days. Noise on the Line Blog Stop by and comment to enter.

I can ship them tomorrow priority. I don't know what USPS will say for arrival by Thu, I would think no problem, but haven't seen your address and dont know your carrier.

Order 2 of each (or more) and your in the fish photo contest. I 'might' front you the winning spinner, lol.

Use the - HotSpot - discount code to get 20% off. I'll pay the extra bump on postage for priority if there is any.

If you dont see what you want on the HSOforum, send me an email or PM explaining what you want - [email protected] - I think I got it except do you want them with silver or brass swing blades or one of each?

Also, the Armadillos in Walleye Fishing category on HSOforum are 1/8oz. We make a 1/5oz version this year and could do that size if you prefer. I can post a picture later tonight when/if I see your order come in.

I like doing custom, but dont build until I see the order, guys been known to change their minds. Then the order lays around, in the way, and I end up spinning my wheels and throwing away wire, harness, etc. to salvage the other hard stuff and putting away small salvaged components aint fun, dont take me down that rathole.. lol. But be more than happy to do my part to help get you to LoW.

    • Truly sorry to hear that duffman! I know that feeling.  Keep the good memories  
    • Chamois passed away this weekend a couple days short of her 13th bday. What a great dog to hang out with here at home and on distant adventures. Gonna miss ya big time my little big girl.
    • Sounds pretty sweet, alright. I will check them out, thanks.
    • If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.
    • Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...
    • Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
    • We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
