My discovery for the day

KenDammit · 08-29-05, 04:24 PM

Since its pretty much raining constantly today through wednesday here in Kentucky...I figured I'd whip out a pole and practice something..so I was reading about pitching and flippin, and decided to try. I discovered that I'm not that bad at all with flippin, haven't tried pitchin yet. I always saw the guys doin it on TV and stuff and thought "man, that looks kinda hard to do", but it didn't really seem that hard at all. Just get the bait moving back towards me then raise the rod tip and let go of the line in my hand, and voila. I was putting it right where I wanted it 15-20 feet away. I definitely need to keep practicing because sometimes the bait will fly up into the air and then come down, other times it will not go far at all. My guess is that when it flies up into the air, I'm not releasing the line early enough and smooth enough..and when it doesn't go far enough I'm not giving a good enough flick with my wrist or something.

Sorry guys, just a gloomy old rainy day here and I'm bored.

im a little worried that i might mess up on the install and tear sumthin up i think i might jsut take him and get professional to do it even though i really want to learn how to install them.

KenDammit · 08-29-05, 08:33 PM

to install, just run the wires!

454ss · 08-29-05, 10:08 PM

well i know how to do evreything correctly except for like the ground wire and for the wire you run to the battery i was told to drill a hole in the firewall and run it to the battery and i dont wanna tear sumthin up.

for the best setup run the ground wire from the amp to the negative side of the battery. you have less chance of overloading somthing else. and look to see if there is an empty grommet in the firewall or one that you can run the wire through with out drilling and if you do drill just look there is always a spot you can drill without the chance of ruining anything. i have done many installs on a lot of cars and never had any issues

Haynes has the ticket. Look for a pre-existing hole that will work for where you're trying to run the wire, and if there isn't one.....firewalls have a lot of space with nothing on them and nothing really in the way.
