Fly the Team Iceshanty Flag! Iceshanty Proshop
I fish IFish Pro with a small Shimano BaitRunner I ordered from the EU and I like the setup very much. I use it mostly in New Hampshire for lakers where you are only allowed 2 lines, one Ifish and the other is a jigging rod in my hand. I think it comes down to what type of fishing you are doing. I can clearly see that if I was chasing rainbows in shallow water an auto hooker has some real advantages. I like my rainbows in a river on a fly rod. For me setting the hook is one of the best parts of fishing and I don't enjoy fishing as much when I am not part of the hook set. I even find trolling disappointing as most of the time the fish is hooked when you pick up the rod.I don't just use it for lakers;(Image removed from quote.)
