Congrats on being on the show.....good info. From 2001-2004 I trolled a lot for crappie....meaning for 3 of those years 5 days a week, 365 a year, no matter the weather. Used a lot of Bandit 300 series. Then I quit. I gave almost 1500 bucks worth of Bandits to my son years ago. I just put a bimini on my boat. I am now trolling again....a little different this time. I am using my UL gear as I am just not going to get back into larger gear again. It is working out pretty good. I only use one rod and was looking to get a single rod holder.....but I was already thinking not to do it as I might lose a rod.....these JDM's cost a lot to replace.....LOL. Then after watching the video of the show and hearing you talking about it I'm thinking no rod holder. Also recent trips to Laurel Hill catching a bunch of blue and channel cats in the 4-5 pound range...and a trip to Center Hill hooking up with a 5 pound flat head...it just confirms my thoughts...hang on to the rod....LOL. I am now trolling with Trout Magnets and the ThunderHawk Dancer...it works out pretty good. Like you, if I don't scan fish on the sonar I move on.....really saves a lot of time.
Regards
