Ken - that's very generous of you, but a 1" shaft and 13x13 prop fit the 20-foot Shammie. My 26 takes a 1.25" shaft and a 16x17 wheel. Thanks again for the really nice offer though. rgds -

What baits were you using? That light tap crap is pretty annoying, isn't it? MY friend was out there today as well, slow day for them, although he also landed a Cod. How long before they shut down Toggin, and open up Codfishing?

Billy - whites, greens, japanese. They liked the small whole japanese withthe top shell removed the best. Hardest for me to get though -

BT - I assume you mean over on the Shammie Owner's site? Great, glad it worked out, whatever it was, frankly I forget.
As far as tangling - what's tangling? Are the crab baits wrapping around the main line on the way down? If so, that's pretty common. What I do is to use 80lb leader material and keep the leaders VERY short - 6" max. Plus I make up a rig that uses that smae 80lb for a short run above the hooks. All this stiff leader material, and short hook leads will prevent MOST of the spinning of the baits. Plus, if you remove the legs/flippers of the crab that also will help. But there are times that the fish will show a definite preference for a small whole crab, legs and all, (Like yesterday for example) so then what I do is to very lightly apply thumb pressure to the spool as its paying out the rig - this slows down the descent of the rig and also helps keep bait spin to a minimum. -

Superbraid tangling? IF your braid is tangling with your hooks, you got other problems. Maybe you need a longer leader, for one. Everybody does things differently though, you gotta figure it out for yourself. I would suggest a 15-20 Mono leader, other sill suggest a 3 foot leader, while others might suggest a rig tied on a swivel and is about 18" long. Everything works, you just gotts figure out which one works for you.
