    Default New tm or ff


    Have a horrible dilemma! In a couple months might be in the market for a new fish liar or troll motor. What would you do?
    Currently have a 40# edge, with two batts wired in parallel. Switch some wires and I could easily go 24 volt. It's good tm, until the breeze picks up.
    Or
    A new fish finder. Have humminbird 141c and a 525. Is the side imaging what it's made up to be? Had a handheld GPS, loved it. It's now on the bottom of the lake, at least my spots are safe! If I go with the ff it would have GPS.
    I fish for both crappie and bass. Boat is a g3 1756, w/ a 50 hp.
    Are their any new products coming out that I should wait for? Maybe find a better deal on existing stuff?
    Thanks in advance

    Get a trolling motor. No such thing as a fish finder.

    If you can afford it get an iPilot and a side imaging unit. You will not regret either. Just budget your money and time in getting them. Nothing beats a good GPS/depth sonar and when they find fish you can call them a fish finder. I do.
    USAF Retired and fishing!

    If you spider rig or long line at all I would save my penny's and get a Terrova trolling motor. Best investment I ever made for crappie fishing. I would give up both finders a keep my terrova.

    I agree with Cray. I would quit fishing now if I had to give up my Terrova. Giving up my electronics would hurt but not keep me from fishing the way I do mostly, trolling.

    I opened this thread just to see what "tm" and "ff" stood for.

    Terrova. End of thread.

    PS. Get more tm than you think you need. If you don't, you will just be back in the market for a bigger one next year.
