    Daiwa steez

    Do those reels feel warm to the touch? Dealer cost on a new Steez is $375.00, the Viento is another $160.00.

    What Fish Finder?

    I know that color is all the rage. However, I have enjoyed great success with the high resolution B&W units and they are especially inexpensive nowadays. Consider the Humminbird 570. You will get a 5" display with 640 x 320 resolution AND a dual transducer. Quite a deal for less than $200...

    Alumacraft 1442NCS

    My guess on the limitations ... they will lead to the iPilot 2, iPilot 3, iPilot 4 and so on. Looks like Microsoft planned this product AND the upgrade path at an additional expense each year or so. However, it does look like the best thing going AND both the "Spot Lock" and "Cruise Control"...

    It sounds like your buddy has the Co-Pilot. The iPilot (not iDrive as I said) looks REALLY neat based on the information on the Minnkota site. It has all the attributes of the Co-Pilot plus TONS more. The GPS is completely built into the control head, nothing additional required. The "Spot...

    Tilapia

    YES, they are always consumed AND always tasty. As noted, they are on restaurant menus all over and sold at most grocery stores in the seafood section. They have a light, sweet flavor and are somewhat firm - they hold together well when cooked. Best of all, they are VERY low in mercury -...

    Thanks guys! BTW, I don't bowfish by myself ... too hard to drive, spot and shoot at the same time. I do fish by myself quite a bit though. What do you think of the bow mounted Minnkota PowerDrive 12v, 55# with iDrive built in? The remote use looks very promising - especially the autopilot...

    Tilapia

    I am new here, but I wanted to at least contribute something ... instead of just reading and borrowing rigging ideas for my new jon boat. I like to bowfish in the late winter and early spring when the grasses aren't so thick AND the weather is cooler during the midday. I shot these fish in...

    Made In Korea?

    Ardent is US made, but not US Reel. They adopted that name to fool people ... VERY much made in China. There are some large Penn reels and Zeebaas made in the US as well, but they are for really heavy rods. Korea is NOT something to worry over. Very good craftsmanship, as previously...

    Alumacraft 1442NCS

    I just purchased a nice jon that I will be putting a floor into (no decking) with a padded cooler as a front seat and a regular bass seat on the rear bench. Nothing too fancy, I just hate the ankle-breakers and want a stable place to stand and move around. I fish and bowfish almost exclusively...
