Jig Man

Do you have a ferrite cloak or one of the rings?

The best thing I have found for interference is a ferrite choke mounted in the trolling motor power cord.

Can’t help on the weight but had the same thing happen. My wife wanted a minivan so I insisted that it have a factory towing package. That added enough extra stuff so that we could use it to pull my boat. i had a Champion 206 with a 225 motor and a tandem axle trailer. Sh pulled it to Mississippi once and to Austin TX. She never had a problem.

My outboard always requires some charging when I get home no matter how far I run.

If you are going short distances your alternator may not have enough time to recharge the battery. What kind of battery do you have? Series size: CCA MCA RC

Suggestion.....Shimano in your price range Sometimes good ones are in the flea market here. I have bought 3 of them myself. Thought process.....I switched to them an haven’t looked back. I now own around 30.

Seibert Outdoors, smalljaw, or Carman might make them for you and leave the weed guard off so you can tie them then glue the guard in.

Are you buying the jig heads or pouring your own? They are so much easier to tie without the weed guard in. If buying can you get them without the weed guard installed?

I am happy with the one I have on the bow Solix.

The Alberto knot is small enough to go through guides.

They don’t care at all. It’s the person who cares.

There may be one but I haven’t seen it.

I put mine on and fished in a cloudless sky. 0 glare. I did not notice the screen at all. No problem seeing the screen with my $20 Wally World polarized glasses. It also cleaned easier than the console unit. Next time I am mad at $50 I will get another.

I have around 30 reels all of them are Shimano.

I use them as jig trailers. Big fish like them.

Shaky and Ned are 2 of my main fishing techniques. I can’t see how you can adequately do all that with 1 setup. Where I fish you get twice as many bites on the Ned rig with 6# fluorocarbon as any other line. The rod needs to be a ml or l. The reel can be a 1000 size. You might be able to dropshot with it but you need a beefier setup for shaky, at least a medium with a 2500 series reel. The difference in hook size size alone would keep one of me Ned setups from working with shaky. i think you need to be looking for 2 setups.

I had Daiwas for a while. I had some problems with them so I tried a Shimano. I now have at least two dozen Shimanos and am down to one Daiwa which I never use.

I had custom Champion ones that I carried around for 14 years and only used once. I don’t have any now and don’t foresee needing any.

My anti glare glass came in the mail yesterday. I plan to mount it today. If I like it I’ll get one for the console unit.

What rpms are you seeing? What is your p2p? What prop do you have? What octane gasoline do you use?

I have been looking for that kind of product. I have a couple of Solix units. I touch the one at the bow a bunch. It is a pain to get it clean. I think I will order the anti glare and try it there. Thanks for the good review.

I have tried all of the above and will stick with wire. Floral wire is cheap and easy to use.

You might find something like that at Overtons.

Don’t stop there. Go for the Solix 15.

Xpress has the lift of a glass boat. Most Trackers are under powered and plow through the water.
