Rods for big boards

[fishkiller16]

fishkiller someone said at the sportsman show that they were trying to make torpedo's drivers illegal to use any truth to that some guy by the bass tank selling spoons and harnesses

That was Greg From Eyemax Tackle he had a guy come up to him and tell him there was an article in "some paper" that said that, but he couldn't remember exactly what the article said. Greg thought the guy was just trying to spur up a rumor. There is no one trying to make them illegal. I heard a rumor also saying because they are lead they would be illegal in NY, BUT the law reads all lead sinkers under 1/2 oz are illegal. The Torpedo's start at 2oz's.

now i remember he said the guy read it in a nf paper

The 1/2oz and under law is so migratory birds don't eat them. Split shots n such. Same reason steel shot must be used for waterfowl. (If anyone was wondering). I do miss the lead though. Hate these new alloy splitshot.

Go to Canada or PA or OH, you can buy them there. I have never used a tin splitshot nor will I ever. They SUCK!!

Yeah I'm still using what's left of what I had kickin around. I've bought the tin ones before and would rather tie a rock to my line. Lol

I run big boards on the big lake and inline-boards when im inland. I use 8' medium action Shimano TDR. I use the okuma 20's also. Like they said it is a must to have all rods on one side of the boat the same because of small fish. It took me a season to figure that out!!! Those Shimano TDR can be picked up for 30 bucks a piece just about anywhere.
