Thanks for the breakdown😎🤙💪
My only question is would a 93sv uhd with panoptix still work with livescope
@@Bassingtv yes it’ll work!
Dude I’ve been asking so many people about this and am glad I ran into your video thanks for the info
Thank you for this, I've been on the fence about getting one of these and I just made up my mind. I've watched tons of videos on them, and hardly anybody talks about the stability at all. I want something that I can haul with my rav4, be 1 man load & unload, and be stable enough for my gear. After I flipped my Sea Eagle and lost a $600 G.Loomis pole and a $300 garmen fish finder, I'm extremely skittish about buying another compact boat. I think this will work great
@@thisolesignguy2733 yeah same! Lost a $400 setup on my kayak and decided to get this pond prowler.
Scheels has the 93sv right now for $349, thank me later. Edit: I bought all of mine on black Friday at bass pro. An lvs32 with black box and 126sv with the GT54 transducer cost me right at $2600 after tax.
Would this trailer be good for the 10ft prowler?
@@jarrettallen2559 it’ll work. I’ve seen a few people use it for the 10 ft. It does stick out a little bit but loading/unloading wouldn’t be much different.
@JohnFishingOfficial awesome. I appreciate it because finding a good used 10ft utility trailer is like pulling teeth
I love the action trolling ! Tight lines God bless
@@grantvanderford8335 same to you sir
Yeah but most people’s setups are more like 5k with all the extra stuff like a good lithium battery, transducer pole and for me a shuttle.
Nice setup
@@dnyboi7659 thanks! A little messy.. still trying to figure out organization for all my gear
Omg😱...Be careful!
New eagle eye9 from lowrance 999 for everything
Tips for instant improvement: 1.) Load reel as much as possible without overflowing (flush with reel tip or 1/8” less). This significantly reduces line friction and improves casting distance noticeably. 2.) use thinner diameter line (sweet spot for me is 10-15lb braid). Try 8-strand braid for smoother casting! That’s it! Those 2 tips will immediately improve your casting by 10-20%. You can always further maximize your distance with technique + rod/reel combo improvements but that typically comes with experience. Focus on the ‘now’
I wish lol. Canadian prices 1,500 for 9 inch compatible screen, 2,200 for live scope, 300 for battery, 200 for transducer mount. 4,200 up here in north. Now I have to buy ice fishing tripod and battery with wires cause all my wires are permanently on boat
Wow! 😮
Waited for the 93sv to go on sale for $900 bought it then ended up dumping 2+ grand into it just to run Livescope and still need to spend another $800 to get it where I want it. Too expensive
@@lucasl.8292 it will really cost an arm if you want the good packages. You’d think the prices would go down given the competition but it keeps going up
what battery you using
@@Ssassycart 12v 100Ah lithium battery from amazon
@@JohnFishingOfficialhow long can you normally run your trolling motor on a fishing day without it dying?
@ with my lithium battery I can do probably 8-10 hours. I’ve never actually fully depleted the battery before. I’ve fished for 4 hours and it still had 60% battery
What mount is that? I can’t find something similar
@@stevenvillarreal683 it’s one I ordered from china Lol. Was hard to find. Site was sketchy and took forever to receive. I’ll try to find it. But I eventually ended up building my own out of pvc.
@@stevenvillarreal683 found one very similar: www.tradeinn.com/waveinn/en/kinetic-transducer-rod-holder/138443560/p?id_producte=14505700&country=us&srsltid=AfmBOoraGyP8I0yB26m33mcvPXanHHxYDGTnpfJDKMHC_U5PSJt8amdLw9I
@@JohnFishingOfficial wow thank you such much.
great idea - I should do the same when i rent boat. the issue is the boat I rent don't have a trolling motor. do I have to remain still/have spotlock to be able to maximize the feature/function of livescope? thanks
@@japapelili it helps to be stationary but it’ll work perfectly fine while moving too which is mostly how I use it. Some people use perspective mode to scout fish while moving too. You don’t need to have spotlock unless you’re in super deep water. I usually anchor or just drift if I’m targeting fish that stick to underwater structure like crappie.

Great info. In your opinion would the 10ft prowler be a significant improvement over the 8 ft ? My truck bed would hold the 8 ft flush with the tailgate down vs hanging 24” over with the 10’. Primarily just fishing back bays with my 10 yr old grandson. I am 5’9” so don’t need a lot of leg room he is 5’ ( will grow taller I know) . Do you feel the extra 2 ft is worth losing the ease of fitting nicely in the truck bed. Thanks
@@sunsetfishingandoutdoors3702 I’d recommend the 10 ft for sure if you can easily transport it. I personally wasn’t able to carry the 10 ft comfortably which is why i had to get the 8 ft. I believe the 10 ft comes with 2 seats too! If you’re going to be consistently fishing with 2 people, it’s best you invest in the 10 ft. The 8 ft is perfect for 1 person but it does feel crowded for 2 people if you fish for long periods. You can get away comfortably with the 8 ft if it isn’t 2 large adults. If its 2 large adults, you’d want the 10 ft
New sub! I'm glad you are loving your Pond Prowler. I have the Bass Raider 10e and have made some review videos as well. They are good little boats but I much prefer my kayak. Wind is a nightmare on the pontoon style boat and the room is tight with a guest. But, being able to take an elderly parent as you mentioned, makes it all worth it. Tight lines my friend!
What do u think about the reel? I'm thinking of buying it.
Reel was a little bulky. But it matches the rod fine. Color and size. Cast distance was improved by 10-ish yards. Handled surf fishing well but this reel isn't fully sealed so be careful not to dunk it.
@JohnFishingOfficial does the reel wobble when retrieving lures?
@@Aaronmartinez89876 nope not at all
whatever I just dropped over 1800.00 with taxes just for the Sonar and black box from bass pro shop
@@thefaithalivechurch nice. Livescope Plus?
You can look at it for $1700
@@WMA1515 hah
Nice setup! How did you connect both the plotter and the blackbox to the same battery?
@@kristoferkrmpotic6747 thanks! I spliced both power cords to a 3rd wire and connected it to the battery using a quick-connect connector
Don’t feel bad about backing up your trailer. Short trailers like yours (and mine) are three times harder to back up a regular size boat trailer. I know.
open your tailgate or trunk and look over your shoulder, makes it super easy to back up if you can see the trailer fully
I just spent $3300 on mine 😅
@@ShingleSlingers committed!
And still dont know how to fish
Didn't realize someone was filming over my shoulder.....
What lb test?
@@Aaronmartinez89876 I was using 30 lb braid in this video
I got a 12 foot jon.. can take 2 friends fishing.. and the dog.. a 14ft is even bigger.. not much more expensive.. i would get that before a prowler.. lasts longer.. much more room.. not much heavier.. or more expensive. I can carry the boat with a friend for about 100 yards.. if he have to.
@@larsvegas1505 Jon boats are definitely a great option. Durable and versatile. My only problem is the stability and I think that’s the biggest factor for me or I’d have gone with a flat bottom boat
@@JohnFishingOfficial I do sit down fishing most of the time.. but i can stand also on the 12ft.. esp if u have some stuff on there.. A pond prowler isnt any more stable then a jon.. its even smaller in with.. (my buddy used to have one we used it a lot before i got a jon.. (jon is also lighter and easier to carry into spots.)
@@larsvegas1505 I’ve been in both types and imo it’s a lot more secure being in these pontoon style boats. It’s more efficient at dealing with wakes and long-term seating comfort out of the box. It was also easier to transport in my case because the prowler is much shorter (8 ft). These fit a lot more snuggly into my short bed truck. In my initial case, anything 10ft or over would’ve been hard to handle. I love jon boats but they wouldn’t have worked for me unfortunately. People will have difference of opinions according to their own needs. In my case, the prowler made more sense. And as I assume, your jon boat was more efficient for you 👍
@@JohnFishingOfficial Yess wel im european so we dont have gas guzzling trucks.. i have a normal car and a trailer.. also i have seperate seats that i just throw in the boat.. that way u dont have to be in 1 spot.. or can fish without seats.. but a jon is plenty stable.. a 12 foot is atleast... pond prawler just a bit too small for my fishing..
Sounds like somebody wrote this for you since you mispronounced a bunch if words. Not very authentic.
@@williampicone5034 William, your assumption is wrong. This a self-made video. If pronunciation validates authenticity for you; note that English isn’t my first language. Also, for my sanity, what words did I mispronounce?
Sun dolphin is best.The cost is less to.with a harbor freight trailer
How the stability with wakes etc? That's my main concern. I fish in lakes where wakeboarding is allowed. Great video. New Sub here!!
@@donho6856 it’s unflippable. Though, you may have to adjust according to how big the wakes are. You wouldn’t be able to stand in the boat with huge wakes but you’ll be fine sitting down.
@@JohnFishingOfficial cheers brotha. Looking forward to your new vids
Great video buddy
Overall, this $80 fish finder is fairly accurate. The depth and temp is spot-on and it does an acceptable job at sighting fish. Worth the investment in my honest opinion.
Small boats are the best!
💯
What model to throw lucky craft lures?
Haven't used those lucky craft lures myself yet but if they're similar to the Rapala Rap-x lures then this 8 ft version will be sufficient. I use the long-cast lures that is between 1-2oz and they cast pretty well I also have the 10 ft Daiwa EMCAST too but it feels a bit too stiff to throw these lighter lures under 1 oz
@@JohnFishingOfficial I see I will go with the okuma celilios for the price then thanx a lot man
@@pappaxdephish9168 a great option as well. Best of luck!
Just built that same trailer for my Pond Prowler 8. Thx.
Very nice. It's a pain but worth it!
This rod comes in 8ft, 9ft, 10ft, 10.5ft, 11ft, and 12ft. I recommend 4000-6000 reel pairing. This is definitely my current favorite rod for land-based fishing!
Nice video and reviews
Damn bro. Didn’t you were Hmong. Came across your videos cause I was thinking of putting up a Bass prowler for them little hidden gems. Good stuff you showing.
@@joexiong13 Thanks! Much appreciated 💯
Thanks. I find the 73sv to 93sv comparisons very helpful. Step 1 replace my 73sv for the 93. Then order live scope down the line.
@@robertmetcalfe4351 good idea. The new 93sv models are better looking now too!
thank you .. makes allot of sense bud.
Tough fishing in Oklahoma its alot better un Kansas and Arkansas tye boat traffic here will swamp you in a boat like that
You in a bass buster with live scope 🤣🤣👻
🤫😅
Had a prowler back in the day. 90's, I tell you at times i think i had more fun on that then my 14' V hull now😂. But seriously, it can get you into some killer fishing spots. Add a harbor freight trailer, and you're styling!! ✌️ and tight lines
@@apwkastmaster2096 💯💯💯
@@apwkastmaster2096 Wow, did not know that they’ve been making these boats for over 2 decades now! That’s reassuring
@JohnFishingOfficial May not be a prowler but the same design. My son and I caught fish and enjoyed that thing for a few great years. I wish the same for you!
@@apwkastmaster2096 I see. Yeah, it’s been the best fishing investment by far!
Great video thankyou
Got one better in creek Muskie fishin that’s how I do it
What are those umbrella rigs you are trolling? I’m in Georgia and my closest lake has stripers and hybrids. I just got a Pond Prowler. I love to troll.
Nice. Great boat! I’m trolling 3 inch paddle tail swimbaits. Just typical white ones that you can get at Walmart. I’m using some super cheap Amazon umbrella rigs for like $7 each and they work just as well as my more expensive umbrella rigs
Great idea using the transom mount
Thanks!
