Thanks for the reply, I think I will order a Fish Hawk XD to make sure I am on target. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

I just read the information on their website and that looks like the way to go. Without that information it would be a guess at best even using the math to figure it out. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app

Thanks gentlemen, there is a lot of information in those posts to absorb that I wasn’t considering. In reference to the size of the boat I am starting out with a Lund 1775. It’s my first boat and I am trying to get it set up right.I have 2 Mag 10’s in the back and I think reaching the weight would be ok. Also, I didn’t install the riggers on the gunwale of the boat. Instead I installed them on the decking using Cannon track with dual axis Rod holders. I don’t have any idea how to gauge the actual blow back at different speeds. At this point if I saw a fish a 75’ I would consider the lure I am trolling with and consider how deep it goes by itself ex: if the lure trolled with no rigger at 3-5’ I would set my rigger at 70’.

Thanks to everyone

Thanks for your help, I will order them tonight

This is my first year with my own boat and plan on fishing Lake Champlain until I am comfortable with it before fishing Lake Ontario. Also, my kids are 9 and it’s closer to home if we need to head back. Thanks for the information. Is there a particular brand of weight that you prefer?

I just ordered 2 Cannon Mag 10’s. What is the best all around ball weight? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the advice, I am just getting started and appreciate the help

I am getting a Lund 18’ boat set up and need some advice on the best side planner mast and planer boards.
