Free: Contests & Raffles.
Every time I go out. I also have Panoptix, but if I had to choose one item it would be the Bow Mount with Spot Lock. I go solo 99% of the time and it makes it much easier to fish by myself. I will say when it 'Goes Silent' you pick up on it right away. I carry two batteries so I can switch out but usually charge (Lithium) every night on the one I was using but have gone 2 days before charging if it was not working particularly hard. In high wind and large tide changes I have had it running hard (8-10) to stay put or working slowly fore or back trolling with the current. Mine is an 80lb thrust on a 19' boat, which is overpowered on a lake, but I would not want less on the salt.
