Which Bass Circuit are you going to fish?

Since 100% no longer has a resonable cost pro team i'm thinking about fishing a Delta and or possibly a Mother lode circuit.

The reason I ask is because I would like to find the circuit that will be supporting the most boats as 100% did last few years did.

Lube your bendex gear shaft. If your starter is just making this spinning noise and not turning the motor over spray some lube onto the shaft where your spring and gear are located. Sometimes you have to get a screwdriver and move the gear to compress the spring to break the sticky stuff free. John
