That’s what I was looking for. Thank you!

I have a non-chirp 73sv at my bow and a chirp 73sv at my console. I found a used Striker 73sv for a smokin’ deal. My question is, can I link three units to share waypoints? I want to run the Striker as strictly GPS but I want it to share waypoints with the other two units. the previous two units are already linked and sharing waypoints. thanks! Just had a thought: I suppose the thing to do would be to link the Striker (gps) with the bow unit. If I’m only running the Chirp at the console for sonar and I have a map in a separate unit, it doesn’t need to be connected. thoughts?

Looking for early 2010’s PAA tournaments to watch. In particular, 2011 Neely Henry. Ive searched YouTube and google and got nothing. Anyone know a source?

He clearly was using a huge (7-8”) wakebait the first two or three days. The Bassmaster photo gallery said it was a Magnum Sexy Dog (not yet available) but that’s not the bait we all saw on Live. Anyone know what it was? It had three hooks, so it wasn’t a Redfin. Plus, we was walking it like a spook.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

I’ve also found Steel leaders, hooks, line coming out of the rear orifice, but that’s pretty common.

I bought a Crestliner Storm 1600 with a 20hp last year. I live near lakes with HP restrictions, hence the small outboard. I love my Crestliner. 8’ rod locker, 16gal livewell. Cost me around 14k after all the upgrades and labor. It’s a great rig for me. I’d look for a used Storm 1700 with a 40.

Chipmunk. Bass was around 3.5-4lbs. Caught it flipping overhanging brush.

That’s what I do now. I was think of a zip tie around the tail, inserting the clip.

I have an Ardent Smart Cull system that I really like (you can lock in the weights). I’d like to turn it from a penetrating to non-penetrating clips without having to spend $30. I’ve seen culling-specific clips for $9, but the reviews on TW are horrible. Has anyone found an inexpensive yet reliable solution?

Looking for opinions on the 7’ M Duckett Terex cranking rod. I have a 7’ Triad, but it’s too flimsy, even for cranking. I’d like something with a little more power. Anyone have a review?

Good to know! That’s a little over an hour away, but not too bad. The Suskie is 2hrs from me. I’ll check it out this spring.

I’ve actually been going to the Susquehanna River out of Columbia. Awesome stretch of river.

You’re talking about one of the most PROVEN fish catching series. Every pro has them in the box. The XD Series is probably the only deep crank you need.

I have two Xcalibur xr50’s Natural Craw series. They’re Red Craw colored (picture off internet for reference). Just wondering what they’re worth. I might sell them if the value is worth it. thanks!

I’m thinking about throwing my squarebills on my 6’10” M F Jerkbait rods because my crankkngnrods have little backbone to horse a bass away from stumps and brush. I don’t buy into the theory that a slower action “allows” the fish to engulf a lure. Have you ever seen a bass eat a plug? By the time the feeling of the bite registers in your head, that bait in already on its way to the crushers. Plus, I replace my trebles with stout ones, so I’m not concerned about tear-out. I think I’ll also have the added benefit of carrying a few more of the same rod. For instance, i have two 6’10” Duckett Triads, one rigged for jerkbaits and one for topwater/flukes. Carrying a third rod would give me the ability to also have multiple topwaters or multiple jerkbaits tied on if I’m fishing a place where a squarebill won’t play, and vice versa. Im just wondering if anyone does this, and if so, I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts. Thanks!

I have six MB’s. Probably the best value in casting reels available. Duel cast control and a one piece aluminum frame, sub-7oz for $140? You’d have to spend $200+ to get all those features in another brand.

Sounds legal to me. It’s not that you can’t BRING a big engine, it’s that you can’t RUN it.

I live near a lake that has a 20 hp restriction. There is a lot of sailboats that use this lake during the summer, and those sailboat owners pay for dock slips. The fishing is phenomenal, so a lot of local guys including myself on 16 to 17 foot aluminum boat with 20 hp motors. A boat like that is big enough for the surrounding bodies of water, but there are times when you’re on a full power lake with your 16 foot aluminum that you feel very small.

I love across the river in PA, but conditions are the same. I have success fishing jerkbaits, Jigs, lipless cranks, and blade baits. Vertical cover or banks, areas close to deep water access with bait nearby. If you’re fishing a small lake, subtle changes can hold multiple fish, such as slight depth changes or a hard spot on an otherwise soft bottom. In my opinion, locating these areas are more important than bait choice.

I paid just under $14k for my 16’ Crestliner Storm 1600 with a 20hp Merc (local lake has 20hp max). Sounds like this’ll be my last boat for a good long while. Haha

This brings the conversation full circle: I originally said that I was disappointed that Vexus will be a higher price point boat: not made for us little guys. And I’m not saying that buying most of your competitors isn’t the American Dream, but more competition = better prices. Maybe that’s why boats are getting more expensive? If the five or six top selling boats brands are all under the same umbrella, and they creep their prices up, what’s that going to do to the rest of the industry? WHAT HAS IT DONE SO FAR? Certainly hasn’t made anything more affordable.

He does not need more money, especially mine. This business needs to grow, and discontinuing brands like Legend, Stratos, and (I read somewhere) Triton doesn’t help. I work for a family owned business in an industry full of corporations. I root for the little guy.

What i meant was, “not owned by JM”
