    Question Gotta reel question


    I've set my Ranger up with a really cool bar that I bent to the contour of my boat that's removeable and has 6 rod holders on it. Its been great since it's like having a rail on a pontoon. I have plans to replace my old OMC trolling motor with an autopilot ( motorguide or Minn., which is best?) so I may make another bar for the other side and use these trolling which brings the question. What are anyone's thoughts about 10,12,and maybe 14' trolling rods and B&M Buck's reels doing double duty, trolling and still,nite fishing?

    I can't answer the question, I'm too upset, you put a bar on your boat and it ain't stocked with quality bourbon.
    Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
    Teach a man to fish, he'll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

    Default Straight Answer

    IT'S TOUGH TO GET A STAIGHT ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS! IF YOU WANT AN AUTO PILOT, MOTOR GUIDE DOES NOT OFFER ONE. YOU WILL HAVE TO GO WITH THE MINNKOTA. YOU CAN TIGHT LINE, LONG LINE TROLL, AND LIVE BAIT FISH WITH BnM'S PST MODELS. I USE SHIMANO REELS THAT I ALSO SELL FOR $10.00

    Live2fry The Rail System Gives You Alot More Versatility As It Will Work Well For Just Holding And Adjustable Up And Down As Well Should You Want To Try Spider Rigging. Mr. Monk Can Help You Out With The Rods As Well At A Good Price. He Also Dosn't Mind Giving Advice. If You've Ever Read His Posts, You Know He Puts Them In The Boat.
