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.

Monkey Butt here also.

You can get a lemon with any brand, I never had trouble with a Minn Kota.
-
One thing to check on is if you are running the right recommended plug. My boat was having starting problems. I looked in the manual and found out that I was running a different plug than recommended. I changed out to the right plug and it made a huge difference. When all else fails, read the instructions !!!
-
When in doubt, set the hook !!!
-
Congrats, looks great !!!!

I use mono on my cranking reels. I usually change out line twice a year or if it is getting low on the spool. I use Sunline Super Natural.
-
Mono is the only line I have ever used, did try FC but didn't like it. Like others have said, diameterin of the line is the factor in how deep a crankbait dives. Seems like most people are concern with cranks running deeper. If you want it to run deeper, use a different crank to run the depth you want.
-
I changed out my Bandit crankbaits to the Mustad KVD Elite hooks, rarely loose a fish. I also use a glass rod with med. action for my shallow running cranks.
-
So they can sell you different versions. I agree, the rattles are useless.
-
That's what I use, works great. I mostly use it on the small fish that has been caught with treble hooks.
-
Very nice, classic boat. Hope you enjoy it.
-
I am with the 6'6" M/F crowd. I got a Falcon Lowrider that works great for topwater/jerkbait.
-
Junebug and Green Pumpkin, I figure is they aren't biting these two colors, they are not biting anything else.
-
Congrats on the boat. I believe $2500 is a great price. Getting it cheaply will allow you to fix the little things and add improvements. Now, go catch some fish.
-
I have been using Bandits since they came out, still my #1 crankbait. I wait until they are on sale and buy a bunch of them. I will use them at some point.

The t is the first letter of my first name,ander is the first 5 letters of my last name.
-
Doesn't matter what color you throw as long as it's green pumpkin or junebug.
-
For EWG hooks I use a side sweeping hook set, for round bend hooks, I use the upward swing. Power doesn't set the hook, speed does. I use a 2 handed hook set when I use the round bend hooks, it is kind of like popping a whip.
-
I love Suline, have the fc and mono on most reels but I have 40# Power Pro on my frog/carolina/pitching rod and have never broke it.
-
Use Pitbull Cutters. They are a little pricey but worth it. Have no idea on the Powell Rods.
-
There are bigger fish but I wouldn't complain with 2 and 3 pounders.
-
I use glass/graphite rods for my crankbaits so I assumme it would be moderate.
-
You need to use whatever suits you. I use braid/fc leader on my spinning, mono on my topwater and crankbait, and FC on my worm/spinnerbait.
