Good luck with the 975LD, Hotrod. . I bought myself one for Xmas and used it all season with some power pro 50lb test. I am happy with it. Its very smooth. I bought 2 T-man 18" tubes too and have been having better luck with the Stretch 25's when trolled together. Maybe the tubes will do better in the fall.  chrz chrz

Did you check the action with them alongside the boat to make sure you are at the right trolling speed for them? Lures need a certail trolling speed to get them working properly.  The T-man lure may need a different speed than the stretch. t^
