For starters, I need to extend a huge THANK YOU to Krenzer Marine and the Smokercraft family for the opportunity to get into a new Phantom. I'm truly enjoying fishing from this boat! If you are in the market for an Aluminum fish boat reach out to me. I spent a lot of time over the Summer sitting in this boat deciding where I wanted to put things, and how I wanted it rigged. It's no secret we love our Cannon Downriggers, Humminbird Electronics, and Minn Kota trolling motor. All of which, are on this new Phantom so we can utilize the "One Boat Network" features. I hope you enjoy our walk-through video, and I'd love to hear your comments or questions. I purposely waited to make this video. I felt I needed to get a bit of seat time in the boat and gain a true understanding of how I wanted things, and how to utilize the given space. If you've followed along over the last few months you've seen it's a fishy boat!

Wanted Daiwa Saltist 20's with line counters - old style

I've got 8, and I have been contemplating selling them and switching over to the new 20's. I use them for 3-4 weekends a season and then they sit in my garage. Hmmm -

short Coppers and swivels
Yankee Troller replied to SusanJames's topic in Questions About Trout & Salmon Trolling?
I, personally, have not gone to weighted steel for a few reasons. #1 proven by Smart Troll it doesn't have the dive curve of copper. #2 just to keep things simple with one dive curve to remember across the board. That being said I hear its much more user friendly, but I was also blown away by the Morgan's Tackle super copper with the tinned coating. We've used another brand for a long time and the tinned Morgan's was much more user friendly this season. -

Anytime, and thanks for watching. -
We get asked often how to run cheater lines. Specifically, pinned cheater lines. Here's a clip from the outing we filmed with FishUSA.

Lake fish are actively feeding in wide open water, and CHOOSE to bite. Trib Salmon are not actively feeding and are whipped, lined, and snagged out of their environment where they are funneled into tight runs, or sight fished out of shallow water. One is clearly more disrespectful. As far as your theory about 10k of the biggest fish that's so far from the truth. 75% of the teams fishing these events struggle, which means they're weighing in small fish. Look at the spread in the standings.
