Trolling motor baskets

[milehi]

Back in the 70's when I lived in Oregon, most everyone had a hard plastic basket like thing to keep the weeds off your prop-anyone know if they still are made? In the last 7 or 8 years we have had a major invasion of eurasian milfoil on the lake I fish, no matter what type of prop you run. it's going to wrap up.

you mean this?? Prolly not needed anymore since props are more efficient than years past.

I knew someone would here would have one rat holed. It's hard to part with your fishing toys, no matter how old they are.

You said it yourself; it don't matter what prop you have on it's going to rap up.

This works for me: I have a Minn Kota MaxPro 101/US 36v motor with the Minn Kota weedless Wedge 2, MKP-33 prop. And it gets thru some of the toughest stuff the Delta has to offer but it's not perfect it will get rapped up from time to time.

If your motor is a Minn Kota try a weedless Wedge 2 prop if one is made for your motor. If you don't have a Minn Kota Sorry about that! You should.

Good Fishin

I have a motor guide and love it.
However the minkota I had before it worked alot better in the weeds.

If I still had the minkota I would not be hijacking this post and asking what I can do to make the motor guide chop delta weeds better.

Brian, I'll take it. I run a motor guide with a 3 bladed (?) weedless prop which I pull up as high as I can, still am constantly pulling up to clean. I guess I could drop shot in 30' of water, but I love nothing more than flippin a jig in shallow water

I still have a Jen-su blade on my motorguide works pretty well.

I get wrapped once in awhile.
