that extra $1.74 really got you upset? Now if you really want to complain, the trailer fee went from $18 to $118 anyways... I caught my first bass of the year. a little 12 incher on the ned rig

look for a minn kota service center by you. I bet they can get the riptide working. riptide is the saltwater model. Most walleye boats up north are running 60" shaft. I have an 80lb 54" terrova on my 16.5ft Lund. No way I'd go down to 12v 55lb especially with iPilot/spot lock

agreed, never said premier was better than mojo. it's definitely better than bass x though, they dont even clear coat the whole rod on those. premier also comes in way more length/power combos than mojo. I own both personally I'd never buy an avid. I'm looking forward to the victory rods in that price point

Premiers are made in Wisconsin with SCII graphite. Premiers are better made than the Bass X which are also SCII and made in Mexico.. Mojos are made in Mexico with SCIII, so they are a bit lighter. Premiers are not technique specific like the Bass X and Mojo bass. I find Premiers are better all around/multipurpose rods than the Mojos. Bass Pro and Cabelas have exclusive split grip Premiers that will be on sale for the spring classic starting at $99 with a trade in/$119 without. St Croix also has a new series called the victory coming out which are similar to but probably only slightly better than the Mojo. They are made in Wisconsin.

St Croix Premier medium fast would be my suggestions. very versatile

St Croix makes a 7'6" MLXF in several rod series. Mojobass, Eyecon, Avid, Legend walleye. There's also an 8'6" MLXF in the legend bass series. Or wait to see if they release something new in the Victory series.

out of stock online and in my local stores. I got one at this price around Christmas time

1050lbs is probably just your hull weight. need to add weight motor, batteries, fuel, passengers, gear...

a little long for wacky IMO. I'm considering the 7'3" MXF for boot tail swimbaits and grubs, maybe light t-rigs too

I like a shorter rod for wacky. 6'6" MF Premier is what I use. You can pick up a split grip premier on sale from BPS or Cabela's during the spring classic

I only buy from their website when they have a closeout deal

Park Falls was closed for a while last year, not sure about Mexico. I'm sure dealers bought up all the stock available. I bet their direct online business makes up a very small percentage of their total sales.

the Teton is the same kayak with a stadium seat already on it. It goes on sale often at Dicks and you can use coupons on it too

the flyer was posted in the sale thread https://www.basspro.com/shop/en/online-catalogs?catalogCode=BassPro/SFC_21_36_tab

Lifetime Teton is probably the best in that price range. But I'd look at the used market too

Check out the Eyecon vertical jig rod

Right it's not economical yet, but if you fish electric only lakes it could be worth it. Needs a government subsidy like on electric cars. I heard they're looking into it for E-bikes, so maybe boats are next

stake out pole or a downrigger weight. mushroom anchors pull up too much crap. 8lb weight should be plenty. around $20 on amazon Extreme Max 3006.6729 Coated Ball-with-Fin Downrigger Weight - 8 lbs

Have you considered the Tracker with the Pure watercraft electric motor? Might be out of your budget though https://www.purewatercraft.com/product/tracker-pro-team-175-txw-bass-boat/

I'm shocked Ryan Pace didn't trade Foles and multiple first round picks for Wentz.

I'm really excited now because the spinning reel seat looks identical to the Eyecons that I love

local pro just sent this out. also said you can only get them through local dealers for the first few months.

Victory makes sense, they kept mentioning wins in the previews. Avid rods are not species or technique specific, they wont get rid of those and upset walleye and multi-species anglers. I could see them getting rid of the Avid X though

I still use my Rage rods on the kayak. nothing wrong with the casting models, but yes the spinning rod reel seats are terrible. the current SCIII Mojo Bass took the place of the Rage albeit with cork instead of neoprene handles
