Minn Kota Raptor

by Leave a Comment

Have you seen or read about the new Minn Kota Raptor? For some reason it looks awfully familiar, like I have seen this before in the past. It’s sort of like a surface tablet and an iPad. They look the same, act the same, both have pluses and minuses, but the reality is that one is late to the game. They do say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

There’s only one person to blame for this and it’s Bill Quatrucci, owner of BiCO Jigs. We’re heading down to Mexico, and Bill posts… ...Read More
