Re: Multiple Fish Finder's question
Hi Mike, Robert is partly right, they use the two on the console for mapping and navigation, and have one for Sonar. On the bow, if they are in shallow water, they tend to use the smaller unit mounted in the bow panel, then use the large screen versions on a RAM Mount for their deep water fishing, a...

Re: Watching the elite series in person, edicate
The rule of thumb is to stay behind the photographers.
The television cameramen will be closer than the photographers.
They are the guys with the long lenses taking pictures for BASS and other publications.
If you stay behind them, you'll be at a safe distance.

A longer rod will allow you to flip from further away from cover, and will give you more leverage on hooksets for sure. But, it can also make you move the bait further away from your target during the retrieve for the same reasons. I use a Powell 765 for sparse cover, and 766 for heavier cover and h...
