I have the WS Radar sit on top that has the “pod” and the transducer mounts to the bottom. I have a really old Lowrance unit on it now and it works but I want to upgrade. I use a vexilar type battery and it works great. I’m not concerned about tipping. Thanks!
I’m wanting to put a new depth finder on my kayak and am looking to stay under $500. I have Lowrance on my boat but am open to trying something new for the kayak to get the best bang for the $. I appreciate any suggestions!
I use a fluorocarbon leader 6 to 8’ long for casting and 12-14’ for trolling. I can say I don’t think I’m spooking fish. I don’t think I’d tie direct though. I like the little cushion a leader provides.
I’d go baitcaster for cranks. If you are going to cast and troll 7’ m or mh moderate action. Trolling only I’d go trolling rod and line counter all day.
Caught a nice limit Saturday evening but haven’t been out since. Gotta believe the spawn is going to shut things down soon if it hasn’t happened already.
Sitting at my cabin watching the ice on Douglas bay go quickly. Wind and temp today is eating it up pretty fast. By next weekend it ought to be ice free everywhere, or at least darn close.
