Well that is nothing like I imagined we'd be talking about...

Please expand on your setup

Rage Craw is a favorite. When one flapper gets bitten off, rotate the bait 90 degrees and keep fishing.

Kind of... We don't tend to fight anyone with tanks of their own these days but they are good for security checkpoints and limited fire support. More often than not though, you're better off requesting a gunship.

Back in my early 20s, I remember standing in the US cemetery at Bastogne and being awed by how... full it was. That day will stick with me for the rest of my life.

Oh yeah, now that I know we're talking trolling motors, makes perfect sense. My initial read was outboards. I'm done for the day, lol.

You get the blank tan "it's a lake, good luck" color if you don't have the region supported on your card. However, you can make maps wherever you want and download then install mappings too.

I was like a Mercury Force? Negative $ because you have to pay someone to take it. LoL

I usually change color if I'm getting a lot of followers but no takers.

I don't use vibrating jigs much, but that's good to know!

Keeps it out of the landfill!

It happens to most of us at one point or another. Well, you have another thing to add to your troubleshooting list. Glad you are back up and working again!

And with an Oberon no doubt.

Sorry can't help. Transducers mounted on my trolling motor don't last very long.

There was a YouTube channel where the guy only used vintage equipment. Original Ranger Bass Boat, rods/reels/tackle from that era. Even dressed the part

Do you think the line is just spinning around the spool?

Oh gotcha. As always thanks for the information. I don't think this strategy will be applicable to my build but I will keep it in mind for a different one!

You do you! I know a lot of people that find manual to be enjoyable to drive so you certainly are not alone. I drive like a grandpa most of the time so speed and optimized acceleration is none of my concern. LoL

Main question is what is your budget for a reel?

Worst case scenario, I'll be with you in spirit. ?

FedEx is showing tomorrow right now, but you can't trust that these days. ?

Culver's has good stuff

Just got the invite. Should be there as long as my new trolling motor doesn't arrive that day!

Would check the the gears. There's a catch piece that is required to operate correctly.

I would call Mercury, you can usually talk with one of their engineers. If you are specific about what you want ( better hole shot, higher top speed, etc) they can recommend a prop with the pitch and blade count for your hull and motor.
