No idea how much power it draws but my showdown performs way better connected to a 12v opposed to the 9v from the 6 a.a.
Interesting! I have 1 each way, and never noticed a difference. Do you use backlight or the screen heater feature?
Perch eyes are a known great bait- you can dig them out with a knife, or pop them out with your thumb, but this is messy and often pop the eye, making it less juicy and attractive. This tool makes it simple and pretty clean.
Not often. I mainly fish shallow water and with the a.a. I have problems seeing my jigs. No problems with 12v. It's also one of the original showdown trollers. Pretty old and slightly abused.
Here is an idea I've been thinking of trying in the future for a homemade flip-up portable shelter . I have a UTV cover I bought for my SXS . It's made of heavy condura type material for $50.00 . My UTV is 8 ft. long by 60 inches wide by 6' 2" tall . The cover has 2 vent holes near the top to release condensation . If you can picture this cover draped over the UTV all the way to the ground with a elastic hem on the bottom , it certainly should make an excellent cover for a homemade flip-up portable shelter . Now with that thought in mind , they now make 4 seater UTVs that are 10 to 12 feet long and 6 feet wide ! If anyone succeeds in creating a shelter out of one of these covers before I do , please post up your creation .
Built one 35 years ago. i could not afford a 149.00 fish trap at that time bent plywood. copper pipe. army duck canvas
How am I just learning about this now?https://chillnreel.com
Probably because it's kind of pointless. Just throw a spool of line in your pocket.
I think this has a fatal flaw for ice fishing: You would need to spill your beer to let your bait down the hole.
First time posting here, so forgive me if this is something inappropriate.I'd like to share with you our invention: An auto-jigging device allows you to record your presentation by turning a dial to move the rod up and down, fast or slow - the way you wanted, and then replay it for as long as you want. It has caught fish in open water, but we never tried ice fishing. Do you think it will work for ice-fishing?
