    What did you want them to do? The new tech requires quad processors and they eliminated all the dongles. The Helix series has been in existence 4 generations. I cant think of another series of fish finders (Aside from FL8) that has existed longer than Helix.

    This information has been known for almost a year. Clearance sales and discounts reflect inventory reduction to prepare for it. So this should not be a surprise to anyone.

    You will find every bit of information you need on cool hubs on Bassboatcentral.com. They are not complicated. My original cool hub oil lasted 18 years. someone backed into one of them and I changed them all out. Easy process. You have to first determine exactly what version you have then start researching. My most important advise is to replace the spindle sleeve when/if you need to change out race. seal and bearings. The spindle sleeve is seldom changed b many. it can groove and be the primary source of infiltration/leak. f you dont know the sleeve prevents the spindle from wear. It is a great design but has to be changed out in order to maintain oil bath hub effectiveness when you overhaul.

    Mine seems to be a visit to Thorne Bros or Joes to replace the lures bit off my previous trip.

    I didn’t see a second of the game but just watched the recap so I know exactly what happened. My expert analysis is the sharks are a real bad team and Celebrini is real good. Half the Wild players had a point – Hartman was one who didn’t and he had a goal and assist taken away by offsides challenge haha tough night rotflol

    Oh also saw a PP1 goal and 3-3 on the PK – special teams are back???

    Anybody else notice Flower thought about shooting for the empty net at the end of the game last night and then quickly realized it was only a 1 goal game at the time…too funny…

    He wants a goal bad before retiring…

    As usual NOPE you were the only one. Better add it to column ZZ.

    You seem pretty close to it all, you should go ask Hedman, Mac and Lilleberg (ROCKED Numerous Times) if they felt those two had ZERO impact last night. Cernak got abused by Foligno and Trennin as well. All of these guys forced passes that they normally do not attempt, they spent time in the corenre getting pressed trying to fish am move pucks out of the zone. Zone exits against both Florida and TB were positively affected by the heavy shifts of the 3rd line. You concentrate on dollar’s and stats. They open the ice for others, they put doubt and fear into large men’s minds, the next line has freedom because the D dont know who is coming at them from behind. No stat or analytic measures fear and the benefit it has on the ice. I can tell you the locker room knows what they are doing and how it provides space on the ice for them. There is a reason the post game chain says HARD on it and why the guys that have gotten it thus far have gotten it.

    Don? Don Cherry is that you? You must have just finished watching Rockem Sockem Hockey Volume 78… They’ve been noticeable for 2 games (Seattle and Tampa) after that crickets…go read any non-fanboy review of their games or their 7 game season start and the 3rd line is mentioned as mostly a nothingburger sofar, especially Trenin… I wonder how “Hard Necklace” wins gets mentioned during contract negotiations?

    I don’t read any FAN BOY Reviews except yours. I do so because it is humorous but only for a couple posts then its laughable. Go sort your spreadsheet.

    What’s the issue? That they’re not scoring and getting points?

    They’re not getting scored on, they’re not giving anything up 5v5, they’re playing in the o zone, and they’re the only physical presence on the team.

    They just didn’t do anything for 5 of the 7 games sofar, they were invisible… if they played every game like the Seattle game, nobody would bring their game up as needing to be better…some offense is absolutely required, but I don’t expect much… They are obviously paid more to provide some offense though, you can find guys anywhere who can forecheck for the league minimum…

    Again, its nitpicking an area needing improvement for a team without a regulation loss, but if you had to choose 3 guys on the Wild right now who need to be better than they have been, who would you pick outside of Foligno, Trenin and Freddy? Maybe Ohgren, but he’s a rookie playing 6 minutes a game…

    Marat and Lauko have been much more impactful game after game imo…

    Jojo even blocked a shot last night, that should tell you everything about Hynes getting guys to buy in this season sofar…

    Even with this exceptional start, there’s still several issues they need to improve on to get even better!

    Foligno, Trenin and Gaudreau are MIA sofar… Trenin signing looks like a huge mistake, I just don’t see anything he brings to the table?

    It looks like we’ll finally get to see what a full season of “Dialed in Kirill” looks like…Art Ross here he comes!

    What are you watching? Foligno and Trennin have been good. They have a role and it is NOT to score goals. 17 crushed on the forecheck constantly last night. 13 was all over pucks. Have you played? do you know what it feels like to be trying to retrieve a puck as a defender KNOWING one of those guys is about to try to put you in the front seat? Zone exits are impacted adn the puck stays deep. IT happened all night last night. Freddie is not impactful but Foligno and Trennin have been forecheck machines. Don’t you have a cap hit to worry about?

    He had 12 turnovers going into the game. Yes leads the team but would expect that as he has the puck on his stick more than anyone else.

    2nd Bogo 8
    3rd Faber 7

    He had 73 in 75 games last year.

    Per puck touch, Merrill has the highest turnover rate in NHL history.

    I will sell you my stihl farm boss, have about 5 extra chains. Its one of those that will run forever! has been a great tool for me. Bought it to clear downed trees from a tornado in 1999. Used it after another storm in 2010 and of course various limbs down every other year. Never a hiccup.

    I know a guy that had a toe ripped off while barefooting. The water didnt rip it off, there was a piece of wood on the surface. I am gonna ask him if he heard a noise when it happened.

    Given the boat is underpowered compared to the the max HP of 150, I would start by replacing batteries with Lithium phosphate. I have a ranger boat, over the years increased from 80lb 24v motor to 36 v 112 lb. Added 31 class batteries to power it and upgraded from 3 bank to 4 bank Dual pro professional series. I also upgraded to a 31 class AGM for my cranking batt. I installed much larger helix graphs up front and console. All in all I added at least 250-275 (maybe 300) lbs more weight than the boat was initially designed to accommodate. The boat sat low in the back end. My hole shot dropped terribly, the boat handled terrible too, the back end would not stay hooked up, prop would blow out. This year I installed a single 36v 60 ah lithium phosphate and backed down to a 2 bank 12/23v onboard charger. I had to move some things around to rebalance the boat. I have a new boat, from a performance standpoint it is like new again. No blow out, great hole shot higher top end by about 5 MPH. To me weight is the first place to look any time you see performance changes. Something to think about. That boat when new with the 115 2+2 was rigged with a 12v bow motor and some sort of small sonar. More than likely the batteries were 24 class. You have added some weight to that boat over the years.

    Or… you could just go fishing. Instead of spending 50k on a boat and worrying about ride quality. A red 14ft Lund will catch just as many fish.

    How far do you need to cast? I have a “cheap” HMG UL that casts a 1/16oz jig as far as I’d want it to go, any more there’s far too much bow in the line for any braid, high sensitivity rod to pickup on. And how many days do ya fish there’s not a slight breeze that destroys any type of sensitivity on 4# line

    Ok 2 weeks ago, I am side by side with my buddy that has the panfish series 7lxf. Both had 4lb test floroclear, both 2000 sized reels. A school of crappies hovered over a stand of cabbage 50′ from the boat. I knew it because I could count each crappie Mega live. I was spot locked facing into a 12-15 mph wind. I was trying to give my buddy first dibs, I said cast and 60′ and gave him the direction. His 1/32 oz minnow head jig with a 2″ grub fluttered out about 40-45′. He tried 3-4 times and could reach it. I cast my bait 70′ swami back and pulled a 12.5″ crappie. When I moved the boat closer so he could have a better chance, the fish got boat shy. I gave him my rod to try, he was shocked at the difference. He could reach them with ease. He went and bought the LE 70lXF the next day. I could give you numerous other scenarios, for instance, casting into a wind. NO comparison. Accuracy? the xf action is way more accurate

    $400 on a panfish rod hurts my brain, but to each their own.

    The regular panfish series from Croix is top notch, couple the 7l with a okuma helios 20 and that’s gonna be as good as ya can get imo. Anything over $200 is just for show imho

    The regular panfish series next the Legend Elite has the feel of a wet noodle. The panfish series blank just has no back bone to really toss small lures a distance. I have fished them side by side, same line, same bait, Legend elite casts a lot further because the blank doesn’t collapse like the panfish series.

    They don’t compare in sensitivity either. The OP mentioned he was considering the LE Panfish, I assume he knows the price structure. That 70LXF is an amazing rod if you go that route.

    The legend elite panfish 70lxf is one of my favorite rods I’ve ever owned. I’ve owned a lot. But I argue reel size, larger spool diameter allows greater casting distance, smoother drage due to larger darg washers. I don’t buy into the match the real to the daintiness of ultra light fishing. Given the weight or lack there of, of todays reels, go with a 2500 version, I use Daiwa LT reels. They wiegh less than yesteryears 100 series and give you far more benefits.

    Nat tried trading Coyne midseason. Truth is Coyne is a waterbug but not terribly productive anymore but gets a lot of ice time due to her status. Had that trade gone through, the team would have been BETTER but it would have undermined Coyne’s plans to run the show. Also her Ego would have taken a hit. So get rid of the origin of the trade and put your puppet in her place.

    Nats trade Tapani for Jacques was a Home run, Jacques was the best player on the team. The Coyne trade would have been equally impactful. PS the team took a nose dive for 5 games, there was a reason.

    It’s no surprise to me that there is a majority behind banning Livescope/FFS. That number will be 60% favoring a ban within another year, I’d bet.

    Did you take into consideration that the population ages and young people move into the limelight? Consider the thousands of youth anglers in High school and younger that did not weigh into this pole. The young love tech, the number will increase.

    Snuggy is ready for the NHL, he would have slightly better than non-championship caliber college players passing to him in the NHL…kudos to him for wanting to go back to school, i’m just saying he’s risking injury and his financial future doing it…there were a ton of rumors that the Blues were going to sign him (there was ZERO reasoning for them not to) as they will be pretty tight to the cap limit next season and his ELC would help with that…the fact that he didn’t is very strange imo…especially for a 1st round draft pick NCAA player, he also would have burned the 1st season of his ELC in just a few weeks of work…

    best of luck to him…While I had hoped the Wild would have drafted him instead of Ohgren (Imagine Snuggy dropping RH 1 timer bombs on the Wild Powerplay, we haven’t had that since Dumba’s magical season before he got hurt fighting Tkachuk) ultimately it lead to us taking Yurov which looks like he could be the steal of that draft class…

    I’ll let Dave know you think he is ready, hell probably change his mind as a result. Watch the twittersphere for the following, “On Second thought JoeMX says I am ready.”
