[#ff0000]It's that resonance problem all right, anything you can do to dampen the vibration or change it's frequency will help. Ya' know when you throw a tire balance weight and get a tire out of balance, you vaguely notice it until you hit a certain speed that matches its resonance frequency which amplifies it and then pounds your vehicle like crazy. If you look at your tire tread the traction bands are all irregular and different thicknesses to prevent any kind of a pattern to cut down on tire noise. Another example is putting cat whiskers on your bow string to dampen your "twang" or disrupt its resonance when you let that arrow go. Good suggestions from IFG. Change your speed, change your weight, change your wire, combinations and dampen your hardware. The thinner wire and heaver weight will resonate at a higher frequency and speed, (lead guitar) the lighter weight and thicker wire will resonate at a lower frequency and speed, (bass guitar). You'll never get rid of the vibration completly but you can eliminate the combination that "sings" to you. Find the combination and dampening that is the quietist for the speeds you like to troll at.
