Got out this morning with King and Carol , set up out front trolled to just above Severn and turned and came back. When just a tad into laker land....changed many spoons , depth speed gamble rig ....said I was throwing out my old dodger peanut now that it was pushing noonish and we were cooking in the sun........ after a bit rod popped Carol let me take it played it in ......skunks gone today !!!!!
Im not 100% sure but leaving it out some are you not taking a chance it would work free from the steel shaft and the spool could just "free spool" ? When I had them I took another piece of bare wire sild it in the hole from the allen screw and held it in with a pice off a swim noddle...
VERY nice report Nick.....
We got out yesterday very late 2pm , fished east side ran three spoons , turned and came back with two gamble rigs , had a fair screen , never moved a rod...... keep losing i-pilot signal , I think it was all the pollen from this spring before I had a roof on ( hope that it ) quite around 4:30 pm...... got to get out later or earlier to hot....
I have a HB 798 tied into my terrova/ipilot/link also the lakemaster chip. Still figuring it out lakemaster contour lines are not to close to the real depth....... using it that way tied to the IP that is all you can use it for at that time. Do you just plan on using the two for that ? If so it sound like a good deal.
The 788 transducer were junk when I bought mine a few year ago work for awhile then crap out.

also have some of the 2000 but wore them in the rain and whatever may not be good enough but you can decide.
If your are going to display them in a public place with a note of credit for my buddy that gave these to me over the years you can have them..... if not I'll keep them....
Take circuit test meter set to check continuity , touch the steel shaft on the rigger spool , touch the steel on your klincher..... if circuit is complete your short stop is shot......
