On The Fly Jack Plates

by Leave a Comment

Things you find surfing the internet. I came across a website called On the Fly Jack Plates.

I know it’s not for all of us, but for some, it is! I love this setup. The only thing I would do differently is rip out that second console and add a couple of Minn Kota Talons. I love the dry storage boxes because… ...Read More
