Just curious about adoption rate among forum members. I saw a similar thing on a crappie forum and it was literally a 50/50 split. No explanation, comments or discussion even needed 😁

I’m well equipped with three Humminbird Solix,  360, Live,  and target lock.   What I don’t have is Koyoya Fujitsu level skill.  If I ever get to that level I’m gonna start speaking Japanese so I won’t be able to answer any questions.🤭

Hard no for me.

But I am considering having a drift fry tattooed on my forehead.

I do not have it yet but have been out on three boats that did. Two of three were older, experienced anglers (one was 75+ years old), these guys knew how to use it and were winning with it. They would look for cover on the screen, watch their bait, fish it and the fish magically start coming out to bite. It was not easy to fish this way.  You needed to know what bait to throw and at what depth. The other was a 30 something guy that just used it to chase fish. This was not fun to say the least. 

 

Every tournament I competed in last year was not only won with FFS but pretty much every money spot as well. The technology I think is here to stay. One complaint with it, is that it makes the meat collectors better at what they do. One lake I fish has guys keeping everything they catch and no one does anything about it. These fish are then cut up and used for fish fillets on food trucks and at diners. You think that is tilapia you are getting, think again..... Sorry for the gripe. 

Way out of my budget - I had to scrimp to afford my Striker 7CV.

European sea bass sounds lovely on the menu but it’s really just white bass and catfish 😂
