Nice job Mark!

Nice job Brian!

It was slow on Saturday.

Way to put the smack down on them Jay!

They did not wake up until 9:30am. WOW.....Thanks for pointing that out. I am going to play the lottery today.

Nice job Jim!

Nice job Adam! Muskegon had problems with freighters getting stuck in front of the piers last season. They dredged it this spring.

Great job Mike!

Nice job Mike and crew!

Saturday NO Thanks to the combat fishing! I set a 3 rod spread at the start of the channel heading out to the big lake Saturday night. After weaving through all of the salmon jerkers in the middle of the channel, I cleared the pier heads and put it on a North troll to get away from the pack. Once I got away from everyone, we set up a 9 rod spread. We pulled lines at dark going 3 for 4. We lost a BIG king that got tangled in another line. 3 fish came on Silver Horde plugs(Mother of Pearl, Green Mylar, and Blue Mylar). We lost the big one and my Stinger prototype on a Stinger prototype. All of these fish came from 30-35FOW. Sunday We left the dock this morning at 6am. Ended up going 7 for 7 and pulled lines at 11am. We set up in the same water(North of the piers) as what I ended the night before. Silver Hordes(Mother of Pearl, Green Mylar, and Blue Mylar) took 5 of our fish. We took one on a Protroll prochip 8(Blue Bubble) with a Siggs Rigs Pulse Fly(Aqua Blue Glow) on a wire diver, and one on a Rapala X-rap on a high line. We took fish going North and South. All of our fish came in 25-35FOW, and did not have to combat fish! Our biggest king hit the scale at 17lbs. This picture does not do this chinook any justice.

Nie job Bill!

Nice job Jarod!

You will get her some fish the next time she goes with you.

Nice job Salmon Seeker!

Do you have issues with the clip twisting? Have you tried drilling a small hole for the pin instead of clipping it off?

No more field testers are needed for this product. I passed the names and addresses on for those of you who wanted to test them. Please get these tested ASAP. Remember to take your camera with you. Reviews with pictures would be appreciated. Mike

John, Did you file off the small alignment pin when you flipped it around? Do the pinch pads wear from the braided lines?

I hate to get in the crowd and combat fish. I am a slider guy, and have not ran a stacker since the mid 80's. I had no intention of ever running them again.......until I signed up for the Grand Haven Big Fish Contest Sept 20th. Today, I broke down and purchased stacker releases. I purchased the doubles for adding a stacker to my cable, and was planning on using my blacks releases for the lower line. Can I use my blacks releases, or should I purchase the single release and add it to the cannonballs?

Nice fish Adrian! Did you add glow paint to that spoon?

I fished on another boat that did this. I had rubberbands get stuck in the reel twice in one day while I was resetting lines. When the fish are biting, I want my lines reset and in the water. I am a maintenance electrician in a pharmaceutical packaging plant. I get tired of following behind other mechanics who cobbled something back together instead of fixing it correctly. 9 times out of 10 the cobble job breaks again and causes more down time. A rubber band is a bandaid for a problem. If you fix the problem, you do not need a bandaid!

I run 3 inline planer boards per side while fishing. Recently I discovered people having problems pulling the pins to release the line from my boards. I inspected some of my boards and discovered a bad spot on several pins on my boards. Line gets caught in this groove, and prevents the pin from being pulled up to release the line. The red arrow points to the bad spot. What causes the bad spot in the pin? I believe the bad spot is caused when the front clip releases and the board sliding down the line. Friction from the lead core as it slides down the line cuts the groove. Here is a picture of another used pin I replaced. You can see a groove starting in this one also. I went to a tackle store and purchased a replacement pin. For $3.99 I got a new pin, spring, and clip. After I got home I got to thinking......same pin, same board, same clip.....probably same problem again. I tend to be on the creative side, and got an idea for a replacement pin made out of stainless steel. So, I got busy at work and created this. The pins bottom out. The coating on the head is extra gripping. I am refitting all of my inline boards this weekend with the new pins. Maybe the pins dont need to be replaced. Preventing the board from sliding down would prevent the wear. After I made replacement pins for all my boards, I got to thinking on what I could do to prevent the clip from releasing. Braided line backing frequently pulled out of the clips. I could prevent the board from sliding down by using rubber bands to hold the board in place in case the line releases from the clip. Those that have fished on my boat with my know that I like to run a "rubber bandless" boat. Instead, I opted to prevent the clip from releasing. I replaced one of my clips with an OR-16 clip. The OR-16 clip has a plastic pin in the center. Hopefully this resolves the issue of the clip releasing. I hope to test this out this weekend.

I knew a plug was coming for something. I removed your live link. I also remember about your previous post on the site that was removed. My mistake was thinking it was for a dog life jacket, when actually it was the autotether for your dog.

Nice job Randy and Rick!
