thanks, I have saltist for all my reel’s except these I am setting up. Is 200 considered longer? I don’t want to set up a high speed if it is a tough experience to use it. Appreciate the insight.

Thanks, I read it can be difficult to mess with, so appreciate it.

Can you reel leader, steel or copper , backing to find right amounts like leadcore, then reverse back onto another reel? They are expensive so figured I would ask first;-)

Going to either set up a 200 weighted steel or 32lb copper, can get a deal on sealine for 1/2 the precise of seagate. Likely only used a couple weeks a year, Is the sea gate worth double? What size is needed. Thank you

I just received a pair as well. The craftsmanship is something else. I ordered booms to make 37”. The machining exceeded my expectations and so far impressed with the product.

You also really need to be a people person, regardless of how big your boat is it can get pretty small with people on board.

Thank you.

Going to run these koakanee out if a small boat, how light of rod can I use and still make it sorta fun to reel one in? Also any specific rod recs would be great. Wa think the 8’3” ugly stick Thanks

Just to update Garmin’s response on P66 and UHD, they are shown as not compatible because you lose the speed feature, it will not track. Of no consequence to me, but wanted to share the response.

I have one on the way. Thanks

Thanks, the one I was looking at is 50/200 . I will try the p66 though thanks

Yes only issue is Garmin says the p66 isn’t compatible with UHD and newer models. I am going to call and see what the issues would be.

Not sure on the difference between the p66 vs standard garmin dual 50/200 besides p66 is 600 vs 500 watts. Garmin says the UHD models are not compatible with P66, going to call and get clarity as my ice unit is a 73cv UHD and would save money to put the transducer on that vs a new additional finder. Also for $80 might worth trying the dual frequency garmin transducer, not sure how much detail you would need for the wide cone purposes.

I am will using the P66 on a different brand next to the garmin. I am not sure if garmin are compatible. They are really quick to respond to questions.

With the new longer shaft garmin kraken likely to not mount a transom transducer for the garmin and the gt56 on the trolling motor for SI. The the P66 off the back. I believe with the new longer shaft brushless from minnkota this is probably an option as well for those is smaller boats,

Garmin just announced force trolling motors with much longer shafts and gr-56 built in, about time!

I plan on doing that, my gt56 runs at pretty different frequencies so I don’t think the p66 at 50/200 will have an issue. I am adding the furuno 588 next to 93sv. that being said, I was on Lake Huron and the gt56 was fine and picked up cannon balls at 100 feet laker fishing.

I am sure he will answer but do know many upgrade their helix to airmar p60 for better deep water performances.

The 93sv with GT56 is on clearance since the uhd2 is launching. So great deals out there , picked up one from big fish encounters.

Was curious if fish have hit during this process. Back in the day I recall jplugs getting bit before line went into the release. Work be no fun to have finger wrapped in 30lb line when a king hits:-)

Thanks, that makes since. I would think a simple wire knot to the spro would work. Also looking at the SW diver approach with it clipping off like a board does. I appreciate the help.
