    2016 Tracker Grizzly 1648SC Mods.

    I have same boat...2019 w 50hp. I added a hummingbird helix 5, a windshield and some Monster rod holders utilizing the trak rail. No extra holes. On the trailer tongue back up to that first roller/bumper, I ran skid resistant tape. My trailer has a bed liner type coating, from factory, but it...

    Step pads

    Ive been thinking along same lines lately. I've decided on some thick, textured self adhesive rubber strips... trimmed to whatever length and width. Saw some at tractor supply last week. Just run a few on top of trailer frame, where I step on it boat. Won't work on top of fenders, as they are...

    Bass fishing magazines??

    Yeah, I see all of your points. Advertisement and all that. I guess what I'm talking about and wishing for is a thing of the past. Best reading about fishing is right here for the most part. Good points made here guys. Thanks..

    Bass fishing magazines??

    I don't know about anyone else, but I have long left fishing magazines, specifically bass fishing mags alone. I really can't relate to tournament fishing, either pro or amateur. I don't have or want an 60,000 dollar boat that goes mach1 and can carry 500 lbs of tackle. I don't like the...

    Sea Nymph Bass Attacker or Bass Tracker Pro 17

    I have had good luck with 3 trackers over the years. No issues at all really. My experience has been with newer models, 2010 was the first brand new one, and a 2019 grizzly. My first boat was a 94 tracker tadpole. A sweet lil 12' rig that was pretty, and caught everything that swam. I kept em...

    Using two split rings to attach the rear hook on a crankbait

    How are the trebles set up? Link together? Like a chain? I thought at first you had two split rings, side by side..doubled up...but nah, can't be....or is it??
