Very sharp looking !!!!! Thanks! Bought the stainless plate material and cut and drilled them myself with a Rotozip/Dremel metal cutting wheel and Dewalt Cobalt drill bits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They work very well, and as an added bonus, they generate more lift for quicker hole-shot and a more stable ride. It's 1/8" thick stainless plate for the fin and a backing plate on the inside edge of the tabs. very cool.... dc 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geeviam Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Same here in Greer. Still can't get up the hill out of my neighborhood. Streets are solid ice after the refreeze last night. The Upstate county road departments just aren't prepared for this kind of weather. The Northerners who have moved here laugh at us! Oh well - got a snow-day off work yesterday! 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it won’t last very long and you will be able to drive up that hill soon . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidG Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Uncovered mine and drove to make sure the fuel tank was full. I feel for all of you and am in “awe” of those that go fish in that temperature! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerxV6 Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 I absolutely love fishing in the cold....especially when a big striper engulfs the trailing gizzard shad..... SW, I drive by it every day on my way south to Anderson where I work at US10 for Michelin.

RacerxV6 Posted January 24, 2022 Report Share Posted January 24, 2022 Took a trip to Cabela’s today. Had $500 in Cabela’s cards so I purchased a hummingbird helix 8 MEGA DI for the front. Got the display unit for $749,$300 out of my pocket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
