Bassman1974

Fished 2 years in a club and open tourny's with a 55# 12v, after 2 years and taking a beating in the wind, went to a 70# maxxum, what a difference, love it....anyone wanting to fish in the wind needs a 24v motor, you can waist a lot of time dealing with the smaller motor, not to mention the aggravation on the water while trying to compete. Also went with the longer shaft so the head stays in the water when its choppy. I do recommend the shock accessory of easy lifting.

Always have been catch and release, but ate my first bass 2 years ago. We were in northern newengland catching bass after bass, my buddies dad kept about a 4 pounder for the camp dinner that night. Was heart breaking watching the fish get cut up but It did taste very good. I have eaten many saltwater bass, the large mouth was close to the same, it did come from cold clear water, no mud.
