Please explain the Precision Trolling App to me

[nccater]

I have an iPhone. When I go to "Install" and enter my password, it only gives me the option to buy. How much is this? I only want info on the Bandit Lures, but do I have to spend the $50 to buy the app first?

Have you tried googling bandit crankbait and checking their diving depths. It may be in the specifics.

Can't help ya with the app but go to the advanced serarch type in depth you should find all you need!

It's been a couple years since I downloaded the app, but you go to the Iphone app store and find the correct app, download it, google just said it was FREE, so download/install it. THEN you will need an Itunes account to be able to buy the individual lures you want. I usually just buy a $25 itunes card at the store and use it instead of linking a CC or debit card to the itunes account. Buy another itunes gift card as needed to fund your itunes account.

I think you get two free when you download the app but they are not bandit lures. Once you get the PT app installed, go to the PT store and find the lures you want/need, each one is $1.99 +/-, so it will cost $6 for all of the 3 bandit levels. The PT store will charge your itunes account for each lure you buy.

I've printed off the Arkie and Bandit dive curves listed all over the forum, laminated them and taped them to the inside of my clear plastic crankbait boxes so that I'll always have quick access to them. I started using the Precision Trolling book a long time ago, then transitioned to the iPhone app but never took much to it. I still keep the book under my driver's seat in the boat but just have to flip the lid open one one of my Stowaways to check for a quick reference.

Course, I also have printouts laminated in the boat. Usually just use one of them taped to the inside of a dry box lid.......
