The only knot I use is a palomar. If you are going to use a Carolina rig, you need a medium heavy to heavy 7 foot rod. Drop shotting is best done with a spinning reel and light line (6-8 lbs.) A bait you might want to try this time of year is a Zoom Super Fluke. It is a shad imitating bait that is great for schooling fish. Bass try to feed up before fall on shad and this bait will do the trick.

Fireman,

Ditto on the palomar knot for drop fishing but I use a standard hook knot for carolina rigging.

I've hade great luck wth small lizards during the day then I'll switch up to a small to medium size worms for dawn or dusk fishing.

Thanks for the tips.

For whatever it's worth............

I value the opinion of the experts on this board which is why I have joined to seek your expert opinions. I am a customer who wants the best quality tint that I can get regardless of the price. I also believe that the best quality tint, money can buy 'can still suck if it is not installed by the best quality tinters. I would never go to the yahoo down the street to save $5 bucks if it is at the price of a quality installation. JBUG

JBUG,

How many topics did you post your intro on? Can't you see that this is a fishing thread? :lol6

TD will probably flame your posts and user account as a result of your customer spamming.

My advice is simple: Research diferrent shops in your area. Ask how long they've been in business. Ask questions about their warranty. Does it cover film cost AND labor cost in the event that you actually use it. Ask if you can see some of their work. Ask for references if possible. Pretty much the same way you'd shop for anything else service and product related.

As for brands? That's almost a pick 'em but remember to shop price last.

      Marks appearing on the window after tint removal

      Sounds like you just experienced dry adhesive, which chemically forms a bond between glass and adhesive. It is the most successful adhesive for long term visual quality and bond strength (longevity). It IS a real bear to remove at any point after it chemically cures to the glass (usually within 30 days). Lots of blades and elbow grease for sure. My method was to scrape a strip and yank, scrape a strip and yank ... again and again until time to remove the residual adhesive. There are not many 'safe' chemicals that can be used to 'easily' remove it. I do know that a dry adhesive will come away from the surface of glass a little easier when the surface temp is below 40 F. Who has that kind of opportunity other than those in Canada/Alaska type environments. Sad. You can try using 000 or 0000 steel wool in an attempt to remove those marks. Outside of this I cannot remember any others ideas for tackling that.

      Streaks after window tint

      Yeah, dual-pane glazing units can fail at any point in time from day 1 and up. It's rare in the first couple of seasonal cycles, but you never know until it shows itself. Dual and Triple pane systems rely on the seal between glass and spacer. Even there they can have a single seal; glass to spacer, or a double seal that wraps the outer edges and seals (encapsulates) spacer and glass as well. The latter is found in high quality glazing systems. The former brings trouble before its time. The gas or dead air space between the panes has zero to little impact of failure of seals. Once a seal is compromised (for whatever reason), moisture intrusion occurs. It can be visible to the eye when cool and it can be microscopically invisible. What produces the visible lines, smudges, spots, etc. is the desiccant (located in the spacer to absorb any minute moisture). Kind of like the dry packets used in shipping goods. Desiccant gets wet, heats up to vapor from sun exposure, it deposits on the interior of the system and once the sun dries it, you get a number of different aforementioned looks; some obvious, some not so much until film is applied. You can have the one sash replaced, either through warranty based on seal failure or by out of pocket cost. Be sure you let the window folks know the other panes do not display the same as the one in question. They have a tendency to baselessly blame seal failure on applied window film, which our industry has dispelled through long term studies using the 'right' window film for the system. Good luck

      Marks appearing on the window after tint removal

      Hey guys, Hope all is well by your side! Quick question: I went on site to remove a tint that were installed approx 2 years ago. External window film, don't know the brand of that film. Once I came on site and tried to remove the film with pure alcohol and cleaning blades, I struggled a LOT. It took hours for me to remove the adhesive. After the film has been removed, I spotted on the window some kind of weird marks that appeared as you can see on the attached pictures (only a few marks here and there on the glazing). I tried to remove those marks from the glazing without any success... Did someone experienced the same issue and has potential solution to remove those marks? Would it be the film responsible for such issue or, did I miss something during the removal process of the film ? Any piece of advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your support!

      Xpel; rookie (me) popped air pocket and nicked paint

      Thanks, I appreciate the reply. Thinking that between the fact the cut is really small, the film probably recovered over the top, and a tiny bit of paint to seal the margins it should survive our salt seasons. Sound logical? Part of me wants to have the hood redone just to train myself to be more careful, but this is such a small defect and so hard to see I'm leaning towards the very small dab of paint approach.

      Least noticeable would probably be the smallest drop/dab of clear-coat. In my humble opinion 👍

      Xpel; rookie (me) popped air pocket and nicked paint

      Hate to have my first post be a problem, but that's the case here. I'm a fan of PPF. Have had Suntek, 3M, and Xpel on various cars over the years. Even had an installation removed and replaced when I was not happy. I am not an installer, as you will soon see . . . My favorite installer did a great job on my new Jeep. But, as often the case, there was one or two very small air pockets (not fluid). I decided to pop one and push it down. Not the best idea for a rookie with strong OCD tendencies. Should have went back to the dealer, but it's a LONG drive . . . Anyway, I will admit that I not use the correct tool. I thought a brand new Exacto blade tip would be fine enough. I popped the bubble, got it to adhere to the paint, but when I looked under magnification I found that I cut the paint down to shiny metal. (I am way to much of a DIY type; it's my own fault). The metal exposure is really small--about 0.3mm long and 0.1mm wide. But I live in the salty winter state of Minnesota, so envision a salt hit. Options: 1. Redo the sheet. But it's a complicated hood piece and they did a great job--hate to take it off. 2. Wait and see what happens. 3. Apply a very small dab of touchup paint to seal the small cut. We are talking really small amount of paint--typically use the tip of a toothpick. 4. Torch the car for an insurance claim . . .😏 After running the options past the installer I went with #3. A very small dot of touchup paint. Covered the exposure, looks OK and is very hard to see unless you look for it. So, question is this: Think this might survive a few MN salt seasons?? [By the way, found a nice way to flatten the bubble if you do pop one--place a strong magnet over a thin piece of plastic over the bubble. Leave it over night if needed. Worked great]
