Thats what I thought is one person would have to sit towards the front to get on plane but it would be possible. I would say about 50% of the time we have 3 people so its not the norm but it still happens enough to where i wanted to make sure it could get on plane. I would like to get a bigger boat but was hoping a smaller boat would do until i can save up the money for a bigger boat.

I am looking at a nitro 640 lx with a 50 hp motor. My question is with that hp would I be able to get on plane with 3 people in it.

Does anybody fish the FLW BFL touraments out of a smaller boat? By smaller boat i mean something around 17' and 115 hp motor?

Favorite jig is northstar. Great jig at great prices. My favorite color is anything with green in it.

As a lot of other people have said zoom, havoc, missile baits, BPS just to name a few that are cheap but work good for me.

Swim Jig Missle Baits D bomb Lipless Crank Iobee Frog

jig with double tail grub trailer

My favorite is North Star Jigs as well. Type and weight depend on what type of structure or cover Im fishing but they make great jigs for all situations.

Zoom twin tailed grub work really well for me.

Thanks for the info JDFishing and slonezp

I bought a new boat without a Fish Finder so I'm looking at getting a new one. I had narrowed it down to the Humminbird 386 gps/fishfinder combo with the lakemaster chip but then was looking at the Fishing Hot Spots chip and it seems to have more features. I know they only work in Lowrance units so I would have to get a different Fish Finder if I got the Fishing Hot Spots chip. My question is what one does everyone think is the best map chip? Im mostly concerned with how accurate they are and then the features come second. I have checked and all the lakes and rivers i fish are in both chips and on the Lakemaster chip they are in HD.

I was looking at buying a humminbird from there closeout section online. It says with most of them that they are head unit only. What other things would i have to buy to get it running? Im just looking at a 385ci combo so no down imaging or side imaging.

Thanks for the info. hopefully picking one up tomorrow.

Anybody on here ever own one of these? Looking at getting one and was wondering what other people liked and didnt like about them.

KVD's book is really good.
