I siliconed all the old holes and drilled new ones for the new rub rail on my ranger. Worked great. I’m surprised the dealer didn’t recommend that.

Any tips on where to fish and what to use an orchard lake? My son and I have been striking out all over the lake.

Just broke my brand new St. Croix on first fish. 1.5 lb bass. started a warranty claim today on a bass x rod. $60

Hey bud did you do any sealer around rub rail? Top or bottom of it?

I seen on live bassmaster elite in lake fork break a rod new ones $380.00

Dude I did mine and it sucked!! What sealer did you use on your boat?

There is no warranty after they stop making the parts. I have 2 Imperials that broke under warranty, dead in the water because no tip sections available for them any more. That’s what they told me when I tried to do a warranty claim. Also have two Imperial USA rods with faulty tip top guide (black coating wore off after first use). All they did was replace the tip top with the same one that was on there originally, same thing happened to them, problem not really corrected. I don’t call that warranty service. And, these new rods are not even using Graphene the same way as others, it’s just a coating rather than built into the matrix like for the Douglas Sky G. The tip sections are still the weak point, made of their SCII material that is old technology. Pretty outrageous cost considering these factors.

IMO St. Croix rods are one of the most overrated rods on the market next to Loomis.

My guess is about 120 in the rub rail lol

Out of curiosity do all those rub rails have a rubber insert? I have a 84 ranger that I am starting to work on and mine has rope in it that is chewed to heck and back. The rub rail itself is solid as a rock too.

Congratulations on second place. Do you still like and use St Croix Legend Glass Rods ? What Rod were you use fishing in this video Legend Model ? Thanks.

What lake or river is this

Warmer water throughout the day is KEY! 🔑 crazy how 1-2 degrees can sometimes make a crazy difference. I love seeing how similar our differences are, brother. My top three Prespawn shortly after ice out are the squarebill, the chatterbait, and the lipless (but it’s gotta be the right lipless 🤐). Honorable mention is the jerkbait, but the pike like to steal those from me 🤪

Great job on doing this yourself !! You probably should have tried calling Ranger themselves with your serial number but hey you did it. I think some guys have used the tool they use for window screens to help get that center piece in. Beautiful boat congratulations !!

I personally like a rod that loads no matter what presentation I'm throwing. Fish shake the hook less especially at boat side. Braid line is so good now I don't think you even need graphite anymore for sensitivity. I own 7 legend glass rods and use them exclusively for all my bass fishing techniques now. They are that good.

Why don;t you use a cordless drill.....??????????????

That mount looks SOLID!! Excited to see your success on the water this year 😎

I like that front mount for your graph!

Awesome video brother!! Good looking boat! I’m definitely ready to get out on the water and catch em 💪🏼

Hey man, I am sure you are a smart guy. However, trying to watch you write upside down on a postage stamp sized piece of paper then shoving a list of numbers at the camera is quite less than informative for me. If you do any more of these use a black board or something.

I use the heavy glass for chatterbaits. Don't even have to set the hook, just reel up on em and they're pinned.

Huge fan of St. Croix. Just ordered 3 more rods today including a glass a rig/swimbait rod. I have quite a few of them and it’s hard for me to try something else. It was good to hear the breakdown from an engineers point of view. Keep the content rolling! -Jake out

Excellent stuff! Breaking down the basics of material from someone in your position and background in materials is something not many people can put into perspective. 👏🏼
