i went to dale on sunday and fished for a bit... i only had 2 which came on back to back casts within the first 30 minutes of being at the lake... one was about a 17 inch brownfish and a 20 inch brownfish.... and they came off the fly.... the water was still around 41 degrees but it was a beautiful day... I have never had this happen to me though... i cranked up and went wide open down the lake throwing a roost... then booom beeeep powerdown..... uh oh.. brand new pro xs this cant be good is what i was thinkin.... well dad was with me and he was beside himself cause he thought i blew the motor and apparently telling him that it has a 5 year warranty dont help things... but when u would crank it blue smoke would come out adn the motor would rattle.... finally i figured out that i blew a fuse on the motor... even after i did i had to get dad back for all the grounding and whipping and such i got as a kid so i played it for a few minutes... dad was done mad now he is kinda uptight about things and i am pretty laid back.... he was getting ready to start trolling back to the dock and i told him we blew a fuse...and i was digging for a fuse and it was then my fault that we didnt have spare fuses so i had to take the aerator fuse out adn put it on the motor so we could continue fishing... and the motor cranked and ran just fine.... i have not a clue what made that fuse blow but it sure did... it was just one of them days.....
