I was fishing with glow red flu flu 1/64 oz...went in with feathers, came back out without it.

Great, so now I've a got a collarless red jig head...

I can see what's left of the string tying the feather and that just came unravelled. Checked the other flu flue and it seems to have some glue on it. The one that came unravelled had no such indication of being glued at atll. okay quality check dept...I should QA the next flu flu's before I buy them.

I have had that happen a few times and now I always check them out when I pull em out of the package. I have a fly vice and I think I am going to start doctoring up a couple ice jigs to see if it helps at all. Little dab of glue will do the trick though.

I have been fishing with flu flu now for 20 years and the quality has really gone down hill. Used to be able to use one practically all season now I plan on at least 3 a day. Yellow is my favorite. I notice beetle spins are the same way. Probably have chinese lead paint in them as well.

      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.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      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?
