Bass gear at the muskie expo


RK

Recommended Posts

Hiya -

I know there are a few closet muskie fishermen that hang out here, so... If you hit the Muskie Expo this weekend be sure to stop by the Professional Edge booth. Keith will have a bunch of his custom bass rods there. Keith and I have been messing around with blanks for the past several weeks and I think he has some pretty nice stuff set to go. What's really cool is the Syncork handles - lighter than cork, can shape it like cork, and you can't hurt the stuff. If you're there, stop by.

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

Hi Rob, I will be at the Muskie Expo this weekend so I will make sure to stop by the Professional Edge booth and check out your custom bass rods. The new Syncork handles sounds interesting!

I think messing around is a bit of an understatement.....they worked on this line of rods extensively to meet the bass angler's needs!

RK & Pro Edge have assembled a line of rods that has them both pretty darn excited, they've kept me out of the mix, so I'm also really looking forward to seeing the rods this weekend!

See you there, Chris

Thanks everybody for stopping by from Fishing Minnesota. It was a very busy show.

People that stopped by kept saying I have never heard of you. Probably one reason for that...I have been building mostly musky rods for people over the last 5 years. I did build bass rods for several people including RK and some other writers that I met through the musky side but was never really interested in expanding the bass line because of my lack of interest in bass. RK was right when he said that will all change when you fish bass with one of the writer/guides/friend of mine on Leech. He was right. You bass guys got it figured out.

Thanks again.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • 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.
