Just got one 4 months ago, would have liked to get this one. 😆

Awesome! How much more are those than a regular Suzuki 250?

Yeah, trees, lilypads, weeds, docks. Fish lakes like Forest Lake and Green Lake in Minnesota.

For bass, I've only used braid to hook for the last 15 years and done fine.

This is funny because I just spooled my new reels with Sufix 832 braid. Do you like it? My older reels, the ones I used for jigging have Power Pro 30lbs. on it. Funny you brought up mono backing because I totally forgot about that. I added this Power Pro to these reels nearly 16 years ago and do recall adding about 7 feet of mono backing to them which shouldn't make too much of a difference.

Recently I tried Lake Trout jigging. People stated that all I needed was my bass gear and I'd be set. They were right for the rods but the reels failed me. Wherein the spinning reels worked great and had plenty of line (not a surprise as spinning reels naturally hold more line than bass baitcasting reels) the bass baitcasting reels did not. Using my Abu Garcia Revo Rockets which were spooled to the max they ran out of line at 180 feet. I'm using 30lbs. Power Pro braid and according to the chart that should be 140 yards/420 feet of line! Even if it was maxed out at 50lbs. line it should have 100 yards/300 feet of line. Here is a pic of my reel. Do Reel manufacturers lie about their reels line capacity?

My friend was a tournament fisherman and he said any electronics over 3 years old lose their value such as if it was $3k new don't add that to the value because it isn't worth that anymore. I think Solixs are starting Gen 5 or something like that soon.

Congrats! Kayak's are nice but there is a lot more freedom with a boat and ability to bring other people fishing with you. I looked at all lot of places like Overton's, Midway USA, and others and surprisingly found almost everything I needed at Walmart online for cheaper sometimes half the price. Stuff like bulk lifejackets, throw cushion, dock lines, boat bumpers, and others. These are really nice. Dockmate Snubber Dock Line, 4'

I believe the new Quest models did away with the heading sensor and it's built into the head unit now.

I had a non-adjustable hitch with that greaseless ball and the plastic cap broke off after a year.

I use my brother's F150 and he has a Curt adjustable, dual ball hitch on it with a 2" and 2-5/16" inch balls on it to pull his shack and my boat. His iceshack uses the 2-5/16" inch ball with no shock when pulling. It is approx. 1,000lbs. lighter. When I use his truck to pull my Alumacraft Competitor 205 with the 2" ball there is a thunk when starting and stopping. The trailer has a Leverlock hitch on it. Maybe the Leverlock coupler is known for not being as tight and the problem cannot be resolved, I don't know. If that is not the case, what is the best shock absorbing hitch that is good for summer and winter with salt on the roads?

I don't but they are super easy to make. I made a thread on it a few years ago.

I have no clue why 2 of these same threads were made, this one can be deleted.

My 2024 Minn Kota Ulterra changes directions excessively while in AutoPilot. It goes left, right, left, right, very quickly. I had an older regular Ulterra and it was smooth and never like this. It happens whether going fast or slow. Is this a common problem? Anyway to fix it?

What is a long scoop? Do you got a link?
