i work a hard jerk bait usually a little slower . i also want it to always be darting side to side with very little just straight forward motion. you need to work it like a walk the dog topwater always throwing slack back toward the bait at the end of every jerk. so that when you jerk the next time you are actually pulling slack before you pull the bait.

my friend has it, i dont. we fish out of each others boat alot. i do have 360 and use it to line up on structure and cover as you described using live. he only time we felt it really made much difference for us was just recently when fish really started to follow shad and not be as related to cover. we were able to catch some suspended fish that were not on cover. mind you we caught some. we threw at a ton and could not get most o bite. the pros make catching those suspended fish look easy but i assure you its not. i dont feel like fish enough to really get good at catching those fish and have no plans to add ffs.its not that im against it i just feel i could use my 3k more effectively elsewhere.

i bought a couple evo tungstens from tacklewarehouse yesterday because they were on sale. my tackle shop owner says the stay down better than lead because of less surface area. i have my doubts but we will see.

i like wacky or lightly weighted wacky down to about 10 feet. after that i like neko. even with the same light weight it will fall faster and stay n bottom better. i havent fished a true ned much lately but i do use a 4 inch senko or dinger on a jig head in lighter cover or grass.

looks like a slight rise maybe this weekend and some cooler nights. the should be biting.

ok. i probably wont do a whole lot more this year with archery season coming etc , but next spring ill send you a pm if i have an empty seat.

i fish the same river you do im sure. it may not be the smallmouth mecca like st.lawrence but its pretty dam good. shes a little stingy right now, low water lots of floating eel grass. but if we get some rain with this cooler weather shes gonna get RIGHT!

i havent broken it down and i really dot want to thin about it but probably 2 to 3 thousand.

i fish the electric only lakes around baltimore. loch raven, liberty, prettyboy. maybe i can get you out on those lakes in my boat. alot of grass in those as well but in the boat its much easier. fishing can be tough but you can have really good days too.do your bass clubs fish tidal?

where in maryland do you live? maybe we can hook up and i can show you some places.

i like the loomis rods but there is something about the p5s to me that just makes them feel alive in my hands.

not so they could all go kayak !!

i gotta say i dint watch his video i just saw the tittle that said they would pay for it and go broke. i use 360 all the time. you can certainly see fish and you can see the direction they a re swimming by comparing where they show up but it lacks the actual live feedback of ffs.

yeah the adermine is more like the shakeyhead in the orochi line but not quite as stout. if you go p5 i would go windbuster.

I dont think this will have any major impact . most of the guys do their work with 1 sometimes 2 transducers. its more for the optics off a boat looking like a NASA control room than anything. i think that is to eliminate the saltwater transducers that can see into the future.
