Ever chat wit Erik Kraemer Kraemer Custom Rods in West Bend? Great guy and amazing rods!!! Highly recommend you give him a call if things don’t work out with Elliot.
I have two of the electric fisherman and have had them for several years and have never had an issue with either of them. I suggest changing blades atleast every season. I just inherited a rapala and I will put it through the test.
I took a chainsaw file and made the mr twister blades fit on the Berkeley 110v, i think the stroke is bigger on the Berkeley bc it runs like butter with the mr twister blades, ive had it going on 10 years done probably 10k crappie and sandbass, and several 20-40 lb catfish with it
The stinger hooked below the minnow helps keep the minnow on and makes it more effective. A fish would literally have to tear the minnow off and miss both hooks this way.
I still don't get why people filet bluegills. Crappie I understand, but bluegills have a rather simple bone structure and when cooked whole the bones flavor the meat better. Trick to eating whole bluegill, after frying pull the top dorsal fins out gently and take a fork and rake the backstrap meat off of the spine. If you do it right you can get the rib meat to with little to no bones left
Hey Troy! Thanks for all the great info! 1 question, at the end you answer a question telling where you can get something, Scheels, critter's, ect .....what are you referring to?
Hey Troy, Thanks for showcasing this new product. I missed this one at the Expo, apparently they were right in front of the seminar room. It was always too busy right there. Anyways, last year I bought a 2 pack of the deep freeze version of these and I was very impressed with what I could do with them. I think my biggest complaint was the price of the receivers at $50 each is a bit steep. I look forward to seeing these on the shelf, hopefully some competition in this market will bring prices down on all these products. I did google this product and have not seen anything come up yet. So I'll be watching! Thanks!
I actually prefer to use 3/4" strips of vet wrap. Sticks to it self, leaves no residue, comes in any color if you like to coordinate, and adds a little padding depending on how much you wrap it.
In general, the TI units are faster in response to inputs. This is seen when quickly switching between sonar, downscan, chart, and split screens ru-vid.comUgkxeAxH15LxhjGlg5-CRYqjTGTEH0tbY4vk recommend The Hook units will show some lag on button pushes and screen switching. The big ticket item though is maps. If you install a mapping card such as Navionics or the free C-Map Genesis which has a lot of map detail, then moving around the map with the cursor or when running down the lake can lag significantly on the Hook units, but is seamless with the TI units.
I need a battery powered fillet knive for cleaning saltwater species. Like, large Reds, Trout & Flounder. Bubba Blade is just too expensive for my taste.. I like the Rapala R12
