    bump

    Yea, I tried that, no difference at all.

    bait pods everywhere at 80-100 FOW. Nothing on the screen from 100-250. Went 3/3. 2 cohos one steel. All around 22” side note - seems like I need to trim up even before entering the channel. Was digging bottom with my skeg 20-40 yards before I even entered the channel heading back to the dock. side note side note - like my new boat. Hate how it’s next to impossible to keep it straight in the low wake zone. Left - right - left - right. That part makes me miss my Tracker.

    Finally! Waited on a lien release forever. Next season is going to be great! 2008 Trophy Pro 2152. Thanks Joe - I'll put it to good use! (He had it listed on here a couple years ago - thankfully his wife talked him out of the sale!)
  6. Dan M
    Yup. I've decided to just grab 2 more tekotas and use my Okuma as my 4th rigger rod (if needed) or backup.
  7. Dan M
    The tekota A actually has a 38in retrieve compared to the saltist 35in. The saltist 40 has a 47in retrieve making it higher than the tekota - but significantly larger.

    Actually a member of LOU reached out to me with his boat that wasn't listed for sale. Just waiting on the lien release from his bank before I can go pick it up and move it to my driveway. I'll post details then.

    I think I might go this route instead of the Raymarine Element that I was looking at - thanks
  10. Dan M
    Pretty sure I’m going to buy one this winter - either the 9 or 12
  11. Dan M
    Survey went very good - just waiting on the lien release from the seller. I’ll post pics when it’s in my driveway and in my name and not his - although it’s already winterized and wrapped

    amish outfitter spoon bags?
  13. Dan M
    Yea, the tekotas seem sleek and streamlined, the saltists remind me of a tank
  14. Dan M
    I think the 40's are going to be alot bigger than the 30s - have you seen them in person? I haven't so I don't know. but I do like the idea of spooling down the tekotas for browns in the spring

    Actually apparently my boat does not have hydraulic steering - cost to upgrade + autopilot etc - not worth it. Gonna go for the Element instead - now if money was no object the $1600 axiom would obviously be the choice over the $999 Element.
  16. Dan M
    Thanks - gonna go for the new Axiom+ 9 this winter - so I can install autopilot next season.
  17. Dan M
    You feel like the axiom is worth the 3-$400 difference? I love tech, and I like the sleek screen, but not sure if I can justify the extra cost.
  18. Dan M
    How do you guys like the Axiom? I'm going to be buying new electronics this winter and I was set on the Axiom, but read a bunch of bad reviews and people saying that the lack of buttons was hard to operate in rougher water - so I was going to go with the Element instead. You happy with the Axiom? I see they have an Axiom+ out now (not the pro - that one is crazy expensive)
  19. Dan M
    Thinking one more tekota, and 2 saltists. Just run 2 of each!
  20. Dan M
    To preface, I own 3 Shimano Tekoa A 600's. 2 are my wire setups, and one is a downrigger rod. I also have an Okuma Coldwater for the other downrigger rod which I do not like, going to sell. I own 2 Saltist LC 20's that I was using for muksy trolling, and I'm going to set them up for browns. If you were going to buy 3 downrigger reels would they be - Tekota A 600s? (240 yards of 25# mono) Daiwa Saltist 40LCHA - (400 yards of 25# mono) or even Saltist 30LCHA (which is about the same capacity as the Tekota - but less line retrieve.)
  21. Dan M
    The boat I'm looking at now has 4 Cannon downriggers already, if it didn't I would have ordered those Magnum Metal
  22. Dan M
    Pretty sure I found something. Dont want to jinx it until after the survey
  23. Dan M
    Yea, that's going to be outside of my budget. Damn student loans!
  24. Dan M
    Owner found that the bulkhead was rotted Still looking! - May have to significantly raise my budget to find something worth keeping for the next 10-15yrs
  25. Dan M
    How is the service and support from the Magnum Metalz? I'll be buying new riggers this winter as well. I've had Scotty's which I liked and their customer service is impossible to beat, but I don't like the footprint they take up.
