@elliotdavis4542 Год назад

Stop feeling sorry about switching sponsors. I know from watching you over the years that sponsorship loyalty means a lot to you. You deserve to find a better niche. You worked extremely hard over years to deserve these new sponsors.. you should feel honored.. Goodluck this year!!

We got your back this year Chris. Cody from Azle TX, on Eagle Mountain Lake. Wishing you the best this year on the trail. In 2 exits passed Texas Boat Worx. Only heard good things about them from Hutch Beach at Rusty Billard's an Bran Eastes, the best plumber around 👌

A Great video!! It shows what a real rigging is. There is way more to it than just slapping electronics on and go to the lake. Those guys worked like a well oiled machine.

@jamesjordan4051 Год назад

The new boat looks great. Nitro is a great boat. At the end of the day all BS aside these boats are so similar that no matter what brand they are all great. The electronics and all the other items needed to be competitive are just as equally similar. The biggest difference in all professional anglers is their preparation and mental focus. You have been as constant as any of the top anglers and I expect another great year. God Bless

@DirkDigler209 Год назад

It’s nice to see you rockin in a nitro a lot of guys are too good for nitro make fun of them granite it’s not the best craftsmanship and when I bought mine on my way home from bass pro the fender was bouncing on the tire all the bolts were loose and there were still metal shavings in the carpet and my running lights didn’t work but that’s just from trying to put together boats in a hurry once the little stuff was fixed it was a great boat

@fulldrawkb Год назад

Beautiful rig man!! You may already know but just a heads up. Unless nitro upgraded the trailer hangers from the 22s you may want to install a dexter tandem kit. As much as you guys travel the plastic bushings in the stocks will be destroyed. Mine made it about 3000 miles before I had to replace the hangers.

@fulldrawkb Год назад

But other than that I love mine! It will also help with all the popping and cracking noise when pulling it. Not sure why nitro gets so much flack. Mine has been great!

So far I’m very happy with the new boat. Thanks for the heads up 👊🏽

Wicked job by Texas Boat Works!! Hey Chris, just curious - you running a 45" or 52" shaft on that Ultrex? Just curious if the pros go with the longer shaft to handle rougher water or is it too long for all the shallow stuff? Best of luck this season!!

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

So I have a 52” on it right now but I also have a 45” I can swap in for shallower stuff if I need to. I used to always run 45” but this year I decided to give the 52” a go

Chris why does my Hummingbird get interference every time I step on my Ultrex? I've had the boat for almost two years but it just started happening last summer. 🤷‍♂️

@Zaldaingerous Год назад

It may be because your transducer cable is too close to your power wires. Try to separate. If this doesn’t work, call Texas Boat Works and they can diagnose.

@danielmiller6255 Год назад

Is it because you power the Hummingbird from the trolling motor batteries? I’ve heard that causes interference. I had a friend who did that and he never had a problem with it tho

And the non metal fleck boats are easier to match when you mess it up. You can never exactly match metal fleck because you have no control how it mixes in the gel just the amount of fleck that you add. Sick boat.
