I agree about the spring rate,most are way too stiff,and on the softer tire on the tongue jack,but even the heavy dudy ones come with hard plastic wheels.

Wow those are beautiful bright fish! Sure wish we had a local winter run going here right now.

The trailer looks great.  What is the round tube and hole below for?

The tube is just a left over scrap,the hole is for led clearance light,it will have large steps on both sides of the fenders and led lighting thoughout. I fished on foot about five hours,hooked three fish before I landed one;they would make several jumps in a row,one time actually leaving a loop of my line in air then flipped the hook out and almost hit me in the chest!

I like the look of the tires so close to the fenders,kinda lowrider.Any trouble with tires rubbing?

Thank You, Ya I dislike being able to see daylight between fender and tire;it actually has over an inch and a half clearance to the bottom of the fender,but its very close on the sides and hits very lightly every once in a while.

Jay,

Nice job on the trailer, I like the color too.  Won't have any trouble finding it in the parking lots along the rivers.
