  1. I can def get it on plane nice and it gets to low 30s full throttle. It’s the factory prop. Its black and chipped up a bit, haha. It’s mounted on the top hole. What’s the best position for the motor for speed? What prop would you recommend?
  2. It’s a 4 stroke mercury. 2014 by myself and all gear and 7-10 gals of gas I’m low 30s. I just have the factory prop.
  3. What is the best way to get my hole shot and top end speed up on my 2015 bass tracker 175txw w/a 60hp Mercury? I’m not super savvy so keep it simple if possible, haha. Props, motor height, jet fuel ???
  4. As in seagulls on the water? Main river banks any good? Or should I look for creeks or points? Jerkbaits any good? 3 in rage swimmers?
  5. I’m heading down to Chickamauga next week. Never been. Staying at Blue Water Resort in Dayton. Anyone know any good spots on the lake for bass in that area? Maps? Creeks? Hoping to catch a hawg! Thanks for any advice on location, tackle etc.
  6. So sounds like you’d stay with the 7’1 mh/f LTB if you were me. That’s crazy usin a mh rod for jerkin. I’d like to try that.
  7. I am looking to get a new st croix spinnerbait rod for 3/8-1/2oz. I’m really lookin at the LTB 6’9 sniper or 7’ sweeper. Anyone use them? I am currently using the LTB 7’1 MH-F. Is it worth the switch?!
  8. Appreciate the offer. I’m tryn to go max 7’4.
  9. Anybody got any input on the St Croix LTB 7’4 Hev/Fast? I want a real nice Carolina Rig Rod. Wonder if it’s to stout or if sensitivity will be fine....Sounds like the are discontinuing the 7’4 Med Hev “C Rig” rod.
  10. Has anyone used the new Hook2 trippleshot graphs? Good or bad? Please advise! Looking for a decent new graph system for local bass tourneys.
  11. Where do you find the chatterbait components?!! I really wanna make my own too! Can you buy the head and blade ready? Then just add the skirts thanks!
  12. Gosh that would be awesome! I don’t know the first thing about trimming the motor yet. I have research props. The lakes I fish are fairly small and shallow. 40 foot max. Very clean rocky lakes. What prop do you recommend I run? And pitch? That’s pretty solid! What do you mean by “trimmed out” how far out/up are you trimming the motor? I hear that you better still see the motor peeing. I’ve only operated tiller motors up till now!
  13. Awesome info!!! Thank you! I’m leaning towards the Lowrance HDS 9. The one I’m getting has the 70lb Minn Kota What’s your top speed on that 75? I’m hoping to hit 40 with the 60 4-stroke with 4-5 gallons and just me.
  14. Thank you for the advice. I have a little launching experience but that’s a great idea bout the empty lot and cones! Graphs are my next thing to tackle! I like the sound of the Lowrance hds9 or hummingbird helix 10. Which one is best and more user friendly? Any thoughts?
  15. I am purchasing a mint bass 2014 tracker 175 txw next week! My first real boat to tourney fish. Has a merc 60hp 4-stroke and a 24v 70lb minnkota. Good boat for bass tourney? Any tips to get max speed? Any modification or customizing ideas to make more tournament friendly? thanks! I’m super excited!
