I run braid always have like the option to leader up and add a torpedo diver Question is my braid is 4 yrs old now ready to change it out. Anyone use the 50 lb spiderwire slick? Figure would work better with fleas. But its not powerpro dont want to have a diver on the bottom if its junk.

Ya during sept thought i would hear something

Did that not a peep

Had one that came with my boat never could hear anyone thought antenna was bad. Spent 90 on a new one. Still nothing. Bought a new one from west marine. Tells me to add the mms number??? I can hit weather and hear everything fine. Can get 3 or so channels. Unplug antenna then nothing. So antenna works. It has 1ks and think 12 khs tried both still cant hear other boats. Whats am i doing wrong?? Never soldered wire to pin on antenna. Could that be it?

My tr1 does there are filters to slow it down. It runs off a compass ball up in the bow hold when its rough it always tries to correct itself. That makes kicker counter steer.

Yes im tilted back a 16th there hard mounted ducers so i cant push forward. I dont get arces like a garmen or fureno. But really dont care. I can see them dive or rise. And i can see my balls and if im going to fast the balls start coming out of the cone. I can bump down my tr1 and they come back into view.

Like this pic i saw fish near bottom dropped my far side rigger to them while upper was getting followed.

I have the probe use more for speed. If i see fish repeatedly at 70 i put by ball right on that depth off the screen instead of counters.

I do! i run my middle rigger short 10 to 15 ft back usually a flasher to draw them in and either spoons on wings back 30 to 40 ft.

I have a tendency to fish marks over temperature. Am i wrong? I still catch fish but i have a habit of not even really paying attention to my rigger counters until i get bit then i duplicate. But 80% of time i watch my graph and drop to fish off my graph. It seems fish will come up and down a long way to check out my presentation. Some hit some will check out all 3 riggers then leave or follow for a long time.

My problem is cavitation and keeping speed.

Thats fine! Have to try it then when going with them put main in neutral.

Have a 262 penn yan competitor. Also have a t9.9 with tr1 gold love it. But like anyone that fished this year it was bumpy. My 9.9 struggles when it 3 ft and bigger. Its just to hard with cavitation. A couple time heading into wind i ran my main has the 454 in it carb sucks normal conditions i troll way to fast. But 4 ft rollers it holds 2.3 2.4 perfect. Looking for a inexpensive auto pilot for my main. But i might be ok with kicker i turned down the gain it stopped flapping back and forth this fall. But would love the second option. Of the main.

Yes i do. Think its more i have a short shaft. It cavitates then im done. If it was long shaft it could be fine up to 4 ft plus

88 262 competitor with a yamaha 9.9 high thrust. I have the tr1 gold autopilot. Love it!!!
