I'm 99.9% sure that Cisco is compatible with Traxtech; it's a long w-end and Dave is probably out somewhere fishing. He will get back to you on his return; I always had luck communicating with Cisco.

Dave seems like an awesome guy and I don't doubt that one bit. I found a great deal on some used stuff from Traxstech. So I plan on getting their trolling bars and using Ciscos adjustable gimbals. I just have to make sure I get the right piece to marry with Traxstech's trolling bar.

Cisco does have trolling bar: https://www.ciscofishingsystemsltd.com/shop/track-systems-5194

 

I only see tracks on that link no trolling bar. 

I wish Cisco made a Trolling Bar but it seems they don't. I talked to Dave from Cisco about a custom build and emailed him my info. Unfortunately I leave for vacation soon and need the boat rigged and I have not heard back yet. I'm wondering if I Purchase Cisco adjustable gimbals will they work with a traxstech trolling bar? What piece will I need to make the connection? Thanks!

Reel crazy,

cisco fishing systems has 72" track or will make custom lengths up to 123", they have the gimbal mounts also.  I use Cisco products and the quality is top notch.

Thanks man! But track and trolling bar are very different.

I build automation and use a lot of 80/20, it is not cheap but it's really easy to work with and very customizable. And still a lot cheaper than buying a finished product.

With you experience in this field how hard would it be for someone who has never used CAD to actually get it right? Sent the company a design and have them get it back.

Yes. Why not? You can order it shot peened, you can get about any color you would like. There is free software you can design anything you would like and order it. It will come all cut to size in your configuration you just need to bolt it together.

Don't those companies only offer competitive pricing to large quantity orders? Group buy? Hahaha who needs trolling bars? We can see how much it would be for 50 of them or something. 

Since the lift and turn racheting holders by Traxstech are so pricey and the Cannon Dual Axis have less than stellar reviews I am now also looking for the Traxstech RH-1 style holder. Lift and turn, pull and adjust with no racheting function. I think these will suit me well. Will just have to pull the rod out in the position it's in. Thanks.

Buy some 80/20 you can order about anything you can think of. ask for a catalog and order what you want or need.

 

 

You are saying buy 80/20 stock and have someone make trolling bars, gimbals, and rod holders? Then get it shot peened to match Traxstechs finish?

I routed the edge, stained and sealed my 2 x 6 board.

So far the fish have not complained and they are my main focus when I am on the lake!

I hear ya man I'm just a primadonna! Do I need the expensive stuff? Nope. But I still buy it. 

Wow! That looks great. I'm hoping to get the basic trolling bar and rod holders setup before I go camping at Fish Creek Ponds. I won't bother with downriggers. I want to be able to flatline for small mouth and pike. Unfortunately I leave for vacation like the 23rd so we shall see! 

I wish I had the kind of personality that allowed me to use practical cheap methods that work well to solve problems. Unfortunately for me when it comes to my toys everything has to be just so or it drives me bananas. If something is off or not right on my boat it will bother me my entire day fishing. I am a begger and a chooser hahah. I don't have the money but I want everything just right.

I used a 2x6 with tracks mounted to it

Much cheaper than the bar

That's awesome! But it would drive me crazy I'm way to anal about things to do that. 

There is a joint in the picture I noticed but it looked off center. Like maybe it's a 5 foot section and a 3 foot? Is there any way you could send me a picture of your setup on your secondary boat? Are you using gimbals or hard mounts? 

Thank you! Looks like the long 8 foot trolling bar. That would be too long for me. I will be using gimbal mounts in flush mounted holders that are 38 inches apart so I can't go longer than around 6 feet. As far as I'm concerned those fixed rod holders would be useless for me as well. Appreciate your response!

Looking for ratcheting rod holders, 4 gimbal mounts, and 2 6' trolling bars. Willing to purchase items from other companies that are compatible. I am located in NY but will certainly pay shipping for the right items. Thanks guys!

Alright guys and ladies. 22.5 final offer if I can't get that I'll have to keep the boat. Thanks for the interest. 

23k! TTT want someone that appreciates this boat. 

TTT I can't believe no one wants a Lund that's this well outfitted! I looked forever for this boat! 

Alright guys boat has gotta go final pricedrop before it goes on eBay. 23500 with the 1198c screen fixed. 

Right below the esopus light house near Kingston trolling a 18 hot steel in 20 foot of water. 

A hybrid bay boat down in Florida. 

Price reduced, found the boat I want to replace this one with. Boat is in the water ready to be sea trialed. I can also show that the 1198 still functions fine. 

I haven't seen many like this with 2x 4s power and everything this boat has...Took me a long time to find this boat. Im going to send the 1198 out monday so if you want the boat let me know Ill hold off and subtract the price of the Screen being replaced from our final price.

I'm looking for a low profile center console 22-24 feet or a beefy bay boat 22-24. I would really love a ranger 2360 bay but they are 100k plus!!!!
