Is that just mono coated with fluoro?

I mainly got it for the chirp downvu, mapping will help, I am going to a few lakes this summer that I haven't been to.

I just bought the 73SV Friday night. Haven't had time to install it yet. Work keeps getting in the way haha. But I was like you, I was dead set on a Helix 7 until I started messing with this one at the store.

Welcome!!

I bought the Bluewater LED deck kit at BP last year for around $100. Comes with 6 strips of lights and on/off switch. The are easy to install and very bright, so bright in fact, I am ordering a dimmer switch for them.

It was on the next to last page of the circular flyer

For me, it's relaxing and stress relief. Nothing else matters when you are on the water. It's like all my troubles simply disappear. Plus, it is a blast!!

just seen that they posted the flyer online, not much in it from what I can tell. such a let down on he electronics sale. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPageC?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&appID=206&template=sfc-rod-reel.cfm&storeID=66#sfcMenu

I was wondering the same thing, I read a lot of reviews from people that love them, just kinda hesitant to pull the trigger on it.

It is alright fishing, I really didn't get a chance to explore other lakes last year. Plan on taking a trip to Cherokee and Watauga Lake this year

Ok thanks, that clears a lot up, sorry I'm new to these type of electronics

Don't beat me up too much if this has been covered a lot, I can't seem to find an answer. I am wanting to upgrade my electronics to the Helix 7 with SI. My question is, do I need a structure scan module to use the SI or is that for something entirely different?

Just wondering if anyone was in southwest Virginia that fishes on SOHO or some of the other small lakes in this area, Flannagan or Pound would like to fish together sometimes?

There is a place close to me that has one of last years models for sale at a decent price, It's a Lowe 1448MT with a new trailer for $1895. http://www.thesportsmansmarina.com/Rates.html

Think I might have to wait until the wifey calms down, she just shook her head when I bought it. lol..boys and their toys

Well I bit the bullet Friday and bought one, can't wait for the weather to clear up and try it. I really do appreciate everyone's input and opinions on this. So glad I found this site.

Thanks, that helps a lot, I appreciate everyone's input. I have contacted one guy about a alumacraft 1648, going to look at it Friday.

Good looking rig you have there. How did you frame out your deck, wood or aluminum?

No you can keep your motor dry, its just I store my bass boat at the lake during the summer and the lakes I want to fish are in the other direction, just hate to have to run half the day going to get the boat and then back to fish. I have nothing against a tin boat, my bass boat is a BT185, but I was just worried about the stability if we both was to try and stand, plus the weight issue, we would be pushing 500lbs combined, before adding any gear.

Just wondering if anyone has bought a small used glass boat, lets say in the 15-16' range to use primarily on small lakes that doesn't allow gas motors. I have thought about a jon boat, but the thought of something that small and two big guys moving around in it just gives me the vision of us flipping over and our tackle sinking to the bottom. I have found a few late 80 and 90 models for around 1000 bucks, just wondering if that would be a good idea or not. Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
