@@MuskyMates most definitely

@lanz2659 I think I just did it like I normally do. However, I did use a backing of 40# mono. I think I did the same on my 300 I have too.

Thanks!!! I have two more videos I am in the long process of editing. Vacation was awesome. Glad you are enjoying the videos =)

@@rg22outdooradventures88 no doubt that is the best part of musky fishing. No other fish l know does that. I think it a form of hypnosis. Lol

@@marsbotbyl159 agree

@rossgould8454 Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. One issue we had which I spoke about in my Lake Vermilion video was the dead bolt on the camper door breaking and keeping us from using the door, which we had fixed by a mobile repair guy. We also had a motor on the slide go bad. Other than that we've been pretty happy with it. But, we don't use the bathroom (use the campground facilities) so I can't comment on that. I can, however comment on the rvs towing as I tow my Ranger everywhere we have gone with it. I've had no issues towing the boat, launching, and recovering it. For me so far it's been a pretty good truck. Are there better campers out there? Most definitely, but so far I haven't had any big issues other than the slide. I'd love to hear what your issues were. I'm sure it would help potential buyers. Thanks again!

@marsbotbyl159 nice... I sometimes take a quick 30minute nap and I'm usually good to go. But the ice cold water is something else to try😀

@@rg22outdooradventures88 have a safe trip my brother. Enjoy your time and looking forward to the next video

@marsbotbyl159 we drove through upstate New York and New England. Working on the video. Will be a while b4 it's posted. Thanks again.

I have the 300 and 400. I've done lots of casting on the 400 and it's performed quite well. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

Thank you. Thought I'd share our vacation. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

@marsbotbyl159 yes those are the best size for sammiches

@@rg22outdooradventures88 l catch those big ones on Erie and toss 'em back. Biggest was 13.2 lbs

@@marsbotbyl159 it sure was. Went from Sunny and hot to cooler and thunderstorms. What a day😀😀.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 my best musky fishing was just before a thunderstorm, got 3 in one hour upper Niagara River

Lures are coming better,went through the back with the wire!

@@marsbotbyl159 keep it up!

@marsbotbyl159 going to try the lures casting from the bank at the power dam on the St. Lawrence as we pass through to New England this week.

@@marsbotbyl159 used a compound I had lying around.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 thanks brother

@@marsbotbyl159 anytime. There's lots of sanding before the polishing and buffing. But all I do is the edge. Lexan scratches very easily. So be careful.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 ok, keeping my eye out for a fish tank. I was a supervisor at a landfill up.north. seen many get crushed. Now. Can't find a free one lol

It was a chipmunk.

@@marsbotbyl159 I have a few videos on how I make it. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙂

@@rg22outdooradventures88 I'm still trying to make my first one. Just too busy fishing Erie. Gotta make that wire bending tool.

Thank you!!

@@makinglure Thank you!!!

@joewall3148 that's cool. May be something to look into and compare.

Try the field sharpener !!!!!

@joewall3148 maybe I will in the future. Thanks again!

Thank yph!

That's awesome. If you can, post a picture in the comments of the finished lure. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 it's gonna be awhile yet. Everything l need has to be shipped from your wonderful country. I can't find much in Canada. Lol. In the process of moving from Mattawa to Niagara. Shops upside down. Hahaha. Ordered some 18" wire from Musky ---- .

@marsbotbyl159 all my stuff either comes from Amazon, Harbour Freight, or Hobby Lobby. Amazon should have pretty much everything. The wire I use is 0.51" or 1.30mm stainless steel saftey wire from Amazon, getting wire from places like the M...y S..p would get a bit expensive.

I love this new hobby,it involves most of my tools and talents. Very rewarding. I'm not finished my first design and already started a new one lol endless possibilities. Thanks my friend. Have a great day 😊

I was thinking that when it was all done. I'll have to try relocating the line tie and maybe add a split ring to the line tie as well. I have also switched to titanium leaders along with the FC leaders. Thanks for watching and commenting.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. To answer your question, yes I do sell a few from time to time. This was the second time I ever made a dive and rise and it needs some work. Once its all dialed in, I'll make some to sell. I enjoy showing the lessons I learn as I progress in my lure making.

Thank you!!

Hello!!! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. When I first started, I did. Especially when I was learning how to make a jointed swimbait. I used a few different methods the Zimmtex method of hot gluing and the Marling method of drilling a hole, adding lead and drilling out, or adding to if needed. The baits I make now, I am just looking to have it sitting upright in the water. When I made my internal weighting lures, it was pretty much a guesstimate of how much and where the lead should have been placed. A couple were successes while others were utter failures. Needless to say, I kind of abandoned that method, but I was fun developing it. Thanks again, and have a wonderful day. Oh, I'm working on a couple of videos. I just have to finish editing and it just takes forever.

The tip of the knife? It was sharpened as it was being passed through the stones.

Thank you!

I think so. I can't remember if it was 4/0 or 5/0 but they are Mustad 5x extra strong.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 l use 5/0 extra strong on my spinners. That looks like a 4/0. Lots of big musky here in Niagara River and both lakes Erie and Ontario. I've seen them.

That's awesome... I'd love to get a musky out of Lake Erie. I have both 5 and 4/0 and don't remember which ones I used. Most likely they are 4/0.

Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. Honestly, I never really measured the distance. It was something I just drew and it looked good to me. I'll have to grab a measurement for you.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 I'm gonna guess according to the 1/2" eye about 4 1/2" you da man!

@@rg22outdooradventures88 just getting into serious lure building. Dabbled a bit in my younger years. The price of a lure is insane even being mass produced. Fellows like you a great inspiration!!!

Eastern red. The kind you get at HD and Lowes.

I dont think I was in bare feet and no nails sticking up😀😀. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 I used to make the odd bait but l drilling a hole in the underside put in a oval shaped heavy gauge wire and pinned it through the body with a brass pin. Then filed it in ???

Boy, you think l had grade 2 English lol

Hello, the boat itself is almost 1800 pounds, that doesn't include the motor accessories and trailer. I would have to say total 2500+ pounds. We towed the boat through the Smokies up and down the passes, 2000+ miles from Ohio to northern MN and back, and another 2500mile drive to and from Mississippi. We've had no issues with towing. Milage depends on how you drive. I would say on the average 9.5mpg.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 Thank you very much.

I will add at the end of the season last year we had a motor on the slide go bad and needed the motor replaced. Other things have been small and cosmetic... such as inlays on the trim needing glued back on. I can't comment on the bathroom as we haven't used it and its pretty much a storage closet at this present time. I don't see you having any problems towing two Harleys. I've done almost 85mph with the boat trying to keep up with traffic at times, and you don't even know it's back there. One otherthing... I also launch and recover my boat with the RV. It's quite maneuverable in those situations and I haven't run into any problems starting up the boat ramp once the boat is back on the trailer (some are quite steep). Hope this helps.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 Yes. That helps a lot. Thank you for taking the time to get back to me. Cheers.

I last used it sharpening some pretty dull knives on the video. It worked for me, but I have yet to try it on my fillet knives.. I also used it on one of my carving knives and it worked as well. There's different angles for different knives as well as placement of the blade. It's too bad there is no idiot proof sharpener, if there was I'd be all over that 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Give it a shot. I have a few other videos about float making as well. Check them out.

Missed your comments, glad you're still around 😀😀. I got into tackle making when I was a young kid. My dad would take my brother and I to an outdoor youth camp at Leesville Lake, it was there where I built my very first fishing rod (still have it in a rewrapped form), centerpin steelhead is where I got into making floats and that was over 20 years ago. It's a hobby I truly enjoy. Thanks again for the comment.

We were under the impression it was, I think we misunderstood the salesman. We found out when we had our camper door dead bolt repaired in Northern Wisconsin. Regardless we still love the camper.

The hones did reach the tip on a full stroke. It's done the best work so far. Once the weather warms, I'll really put it to the test, fileting some fish.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. It was a really fun trip, especially going through the Smokies, which was something we did purely by mistake. Nantahala was also very nice. This year we are planning on a trip to Graneda Lake in Mississippi for some trophy crappie.

The Minn Kota tech support was very helpful in helping me troubleshoot the problem. The more I watch this and think about it more, it seems like the corrosion may have been the main contributior to the problem. Best of luck.

@@rg22outdooradventures88 turns out my breaker was bad as well. Have a new one on the way. Thanks for posting.

Glad the video helped.. I should probably get a spare and keep it in the boat.

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I appreciate the compliment. I'll keep sharing with everyone😀😀😀😀.

Thank you!!!!😀😀😀

I will definitely make one for a video in the near future.
