Super User Further North Posted July 30, 2017 Super User Posted July 30, 2017 Ran a search and only saw three references to Ninja Weed Cutters, and they were pretty light on detail. Saw a few things on other forums, but wanted to check in here to see if there were any negative experiences before I plunk down cash. There's a couple spots on local lakes where something like this looks like it'd be great, but I ant to make sure I'm not missing a negative. I'd probably buy two, they would be mounted on a Terrova 112. Quote
tander Posted August 2, 2017 Posted August 2, 2017 I have a Ninja Blade on my TM. This thing works great. I fish some might thick lily pads and it really goes through them. My tm is 55lbs and I can't image what a larger thrust would do. Easy to install, no negatives. I really don't think you will need two but I don't guess it would not hurt. 1 Quote

Megastink Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 I've been curious about this as well. I think I have my answer. Thanks!! Quote

Super User Further North Posted August 19, 2017 Author Super User Posted August 19, 2017 Long story involving lightning, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses and the deadest batteries I have ever seen, but I haven't been back out yet. Tomorrow if all goes well. Quote

Super User Further North Posted August 21, 2017 Author Super User Posted August 21, 2017 OK, so here's the feedback: Cuts through weeds like a weed wacker...only better. Works fine at low speeds (down to 2 on a 36 volt Ulterra)...really works at higher speeds. Went though some thick stuff that normally would have slowed the TM way down, and left a bunch of crap hanging on the motor when I pulled it up. Speed through the weeds was great, and there were not weeds on the TM. I'd buy it again. 2 1 Quote

Super User Further North Posted August 21, 2017 Author Super User Posted August 21, 2017 Have you ever looked at a big weed patch and thought, "I wish there was a slot up the middle that'd give fish an edge to hold on."? ...with the Ninja Weed Cutter you can make that slot... 1 Quote

Megastink Posted August 24, 2017 Posted August 24, 2017 Mine arrives tomorrow. I'll install it and add my thoughts on Sunday. Quote
Clint C. Posted October 19, 2017 Posted October 19, 2017 I've had mine for 2 seasons now. Best investment on a trolling motor I've made! I have it on the Ulterra. Quote
Super User TOXIC Posted October 20, 2017 Super User Posted October 20, 2017 Little late to the party but my choice was the "Grass Goat" for the Potomac and the heavy grass we have. Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 I have 2 on my TM and not sure if they work or not really. I go through the same stuff as before but i don't think they'll hurt anything. Pretty pricey for what it is imo! Quote
Megastink Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 It works better for thicker diameter vegetation, link pads and cattails. I still get milfoil wrapped around my TM, and I even have a Wedless Wedge II. Quote

Mine leave (I put two on) a path of floating, chopped vegetation. ...did you follow installation instructions as to placement? Quote
DINK WHISPERER Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Yeah they're installed right. It goes through just about anything but doesn't really leave a trail. Quote
