Hey Pete
Loved the co-angler bass u live the other night. You convinced me to try my hand at the bfl co-angler for the northeast next year! If you have any more co-angler footage you could put out I would love to see it.
Have you tried a wacky rigged stick worm with a equal weight on both ends. I’m a carpenter and use a small 1” aluminum nail in both ends. The worm stays level and undulates like normal for about 10” or so then spirals down like it has a weight in one end. I call it the New Hampshire rig pronounced “Nah Hampsher”
Thanks

Hi guys,
I am setting up my new to me 2016 tracker pt175txw and have some questions on best practices for type and locations of electronics. I will be running 360 imaging on the bow. Looking at the helix 8 9 or 10. One at the bow and one at the helm. Also upgrading the trolling motor to a minnkota ultrex
1. I assume you run a SI at the steering wheel and if possible a thru hull transducer so you can go faster than idle when using SI? I assume the skimmer on the stern will only work at slow speed?
2. If you are running 360 at the bow what unit is best match. The Down imaging only or a side imaging ?
3. The new ultrex will be available with a DI and SI built in transducer. Does the 360 do the job of the SI?
4. If you were going to buy one smaller unit and one larger unit. were would you want the bigger unit? the bow or steering wheel?
5. Trolling motor selection: the boat currently has a 45” shaft. Will a 52” shaft be overkill. Will a 80lb 24v have enough power to chop through heavy vegetation? Should I be concerned about battery life with this size boat most lakes I fish are 4000 acres or less in NH although I want to make trips to Winnipessaukee and Champlain
6.finally. In you opinion is the 360 a game changer? as 2 lowrance ti2 tied to a i5 motoguide would be Like $2500 less
Thanks for your time and opinions
Dave
