Can't wait try out my christmas present, Dig-n-anchor..if it doesn't meet my expectation, it will be posted for sale and go w/pp or kota. (If budget dept allows it)

- New custom rod currently being built. 7'2" loomis blank w/full grip, medium, moderate-fast action & fuji alconite guides. I requested this in spinning for small to med size cranks. Companies these days are making everything in casting. I am all casting except dropshot and small-to-med cranks. I won't have to worry about wind & birdnest this coming summer (I hope)

- ZPI flat knobs for the Shimano Ci4's. Feels better then the foam stock.

Hiya -

A few things I want to try this season...

- Strike King Series 3XD crankbaits

- Northland Impulse plastics. If the success the ice guys are having is any indication, they should be good.

- Hybrid Shad from ABT lures. I like the Strike King King Shad, which ABT originally built, and this looks similar but a deeper diver...

- Powell Rod's 7'2" Mod-Fast Medium composite crankbait rod. I have a Powell composite crankbait rods for big deep divers, and I love the thing. Far and away the best cranking rod I've owned. Can't wait to try this one for smaller cranks and jerkbaits, and probably topwaters like poppers too.

Other than that not thinking about too much new stuff - mainly just restocking stuff that got depleted or destroyed.

I am kind of on the fence about the umbrealla rig. I bet it'd kick on open water smallies at times, but don't see how you'd adapt it for MN regs without defeating the purpose. Kind of funny though - look on Tackle Warehouse, and there are 25 different rigs available now. "Me too! Me too!" - the battle cry of the tackle industry...

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

I put 10# test on a spinning reel and used it for maybe 5 minutes. I am not sure what to use it for. It blows around in the wind way too much for any type of finesse presentation. It's extremely visible - looks like a laser beam in the water. It might be fine for swim jigs, spinnerbaits, and cranks but I use a casting reel with fluorocarbon for those situations. Casts really nice though!

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
