Be sure to get electronics that are compatible with the trolling motor that you chose, because of the extra functions that are available.

MK links HB. MG links Low. Better check out the Garmin tm. I like at least a 45” shaft.

One of my Ned setups is a ml Gloomis Bronzeback with a Curado 70. On it I have 6# fluorocarbon line. Everything else is 12# fluorocarbon and heavier.

I always have 2 bottles of super glue gel in the boat. One for use every trip and the other one in the glove box (new unopened) as a backup when the regular one is empty. If you close it immediately after use it will last a long time.

Nada should get you within 75% of the actual value.

I don’t use 4#. I use 6#. Bass 6.25, walleye 8, carp 9.

I’ll take my chances rather than pull on the rope and contort my body all day long.

The issue is braking. If your trailer doesn’t have brakes it will be sketchy.

The ones I make don’t have any salt so they stay on. Trailers with salt are the ones that you have to be concerned about.

Do you actually have a gel instead of an agm?

That too was my first thought. Your charger may not be compatible with a gel battery. Some aren’t even with agms.

If that is your plan, Tom has a good idea.

Right now Bull Shoals pretty much has no points showing as it is 40’ above power pool.

That is a term that is new to me. I don’t know how you can have a point on a lake without land, be it above or below the water.

That color can work anywhere though I prefer fairly clear water and sunshine. That is my go to color when pb&j is slow.

I don’t set the hook until I feel weight.

If it is your boat and tow vehicle, your buddies should pony up for the gasoline.

I do that when alone. It is great.

I suggest electronics first. After you get what you want and become comfortable with them you can get a trolling motor that is compatible. If you are going HB the MK with link is way more versatile than just Ipilot.

I use 7s and 8s myself. It is easier for me to slow down than to speed up.

I fish Table Rock, Stockton, Pomme de Terre, and sometimes Truman. The main city in the area is Springfield.

Our fisheries biologists say take out at least 20 bass per surface acre of water every year.

Lowrance also has the ghost trolling motor.
