The arm on my mount swings up and down making it easy to pull the transducer up in shallow water while seated. The arm is long enough to reach below boat level while still being above the waterline. In fact I oriented it parallel to the canoe so if sliding in the shallows and forget to lift it the arm will rotate up from bottom contact. Although the magnetic mount assembly is expensive your solution sounds like a good fit for your application. Post some photos of the completed project please!

Opinions are like, well you know…………. I can see your day at the lake, hang’n with your blinged out pretty sticks!

Bling don’t catch fish any better than stealth just like chrome don’t get you home

I’ve posted my canoe story here on BR and after fishing from near every type of reasonable vessel I find my Sportspal to be the best fit yet. For me

Glad to see another 3.3L owner, and a supercab at that!

Anytime someone comments on my spending habits I always reply, gotta have priorities.

@The Rooster Awesome setup, and I love fishing pups!

These work great. I use one on my canoe for my transducer. They offer a non permanent mount capability and can be relocated to any position desired. A magnetic mount with an adjustable arm, and options for any length. Either a thru hull design, arm or track mount. This in particular should work.

Super tuned Bantam “greenies” are all I use. Actually the Wife got me a Lews BB1 Pro for Christmas and returned it as it was very sticky, noisy and the spool had a bad wobble. Hence the reason for the “new” Curado cu201 purchase.

My “new” Christmas present to myself today! Quality never gets old!

Extremely happy 2024 is behind us and looking forward to a healthy, better 2025. My wish for everyone.

Advice on the internet is just that,,,,,advice. Don’t take it personally as it’s hard to understand someone’s needs without knowing the background and destination of their goals.

I was unfamiliar with them but found this particular box to cover quite the array of usefulness! I appreciated it tremendously.

Two antidote I try to consider #1 by Hirotake Arai of Arai motorcycle helmets; “when on a motorcycle, dress for the accident not the ride” #2 by a DNR friend; “we never pull a drown victim out of the water wearing a PFD” Once again, education

Simply……………..Education

It was tough waiting but I managed! Only a vague return address on the package so I can only Thank Santa for the generous gift, Merry Fishmas!

As I’ve posted my general use rigs… GLX 804c JWR - 6’ 8” Curado 201-greenie IMX 844c MBR H/F - 7’ Curado 201-greenie IMX 843 CBR M/M - 7’ Lew’s Tournament MB IMX 782c MBR M/F - 6’6” Curado 201-greenie IMX 783c MBR MH/F - 6’6” Curado 201-greenie IMX 781S ML/F - 6’6”. Spirex 1000 …so yeah, pretty much adjustable wrench’s

Honey Creek Tackle & Marine Center Winter Show Going to be another good one!

Yes pre 97, when Gary still made them. They sat wrapped up for over twenty years as I went into motorcycle racing education and instruction while traveling extensively. Used them sparingly for several years afterwards and in the Spring of ‘21 I retired and finally started finishing regularly again. I look at the new models with lust in my eyes but can’t justify spending what it takes to replace them for incremental improvements. Yes, they’re old, like me 😆

Born and raised in Indiana so GO NOTER DAME, BEAT IU !!! 😆

I did the same thing several years ago and reduced the collection to the most productive setups. All my G Loomis rods are original Gary Loomis IMX rods with the GLX being a 2016ish (Shimano) model. I believe this range covers any situation I encounter, although updated models would certainly be an upgrade (NRX+, IMX-Pro) in sensitivity and length. This collection covers every method and lure I fish, and do it well. Actually better than my abilities😏 GLX 804c JWR - 6’ 8” IMX 844c MBR H/F - 7’ IMX 843 CBR M/M - 7’ IMX 782c MBR M/F - 6’6” IMX 783c MBR MH/F - 6’6” IMX 781s ML/F - 6’6” Thats five casting rods and one spinning rod in my everyday arsenal. I find the MBR rods a better choice from a specific application rod as they more versatile. Truthfully the spinning outfit with one H, MH and JWR are typically the choices for a day out in the canoe. If taking five casting rods I usually replace the IMX 843 CBR rod with a KISTLER KLX Power 4 All Around MH/MF - 7’ as it throws a lager variety of crank/blade baits. The GLX 804 JWR is kind of redundant but it’s just such a great jig and Trig rod I hate leaving behind. I also have a backup E6X 843c MH/F - 7’ but rarely use it as it’s another MH/F with a bit less sensitivity than the IMX. My backup spinning rod is a 7’ Diawa Tatula M/XF with a Diawa Procyon 2500, but typically a garage queen (it’s a Diawa setup! 😂) I think it’s a wise decision to reduce the quantity of rigs for a smaller selection of quality rigs. It seems to make fishing easier.

Wow……

Received my package, no idea from whom (well kinda) but THANK YOU & MERRY CHRISTMAS!! …..waiting until Christmas to open and post up pictures 🎄

Mine is going out in the morning.
