Matt, you are the best bass fishing educator on UA-cam. Frankly, you are a gifted optimizer. You not only are the best optimizer for equipment and tackle, you know how to optimize your explanations so they are unbelievably effective at revealing the strategic and tactical applications--Ergo your name, "Tactical Bassin'". You are da' man. I have grown old watching your videos and just sold my skeeter because my broken old body can't do it anymore. Thanks for the help along the way that allowed me to make hay while the sun was shining. May you and Tim experience many blessings as you forge ahead.
Minnkota terrova is half the price of an ultrex and has spotlock. Upgrading from a basic edge to the terrova specifically for spot lock is game changing, especially on a 17' aluminum bass tracker. I feel like the terrova doesn't get enough love when the ultrex is getting pushed for an upgrade. You can also get a 12 volt system so you don't need to add more batteries or weight to your boat. Spot lock is the deal especially when having to re-tie or stay on a specific offshore or specific target.
One other thing is the Power Pole Charge battery charger. I installed one on my boat. Every time you start the big motor it charges all of the batteries. You can also specify how much charge you want to go to your trolling motor versus the big motor/electronics battery. It also has a jump start feature; if the big motor battery gets too low it diverts power from the trolling motor batteries to start the big motor. You control the whole thing using an app on your cell phone. Good product.
Those waterproof tackle boxes are great but don’t leave them in the sun. My wife had about 12 ito 110 jerk baits get so hot that they split and were ruined. She had maybe 30 in that box so almost half.
Anybody else just never kept a net on their boat? I don’t tournament fish and mostly couldn’t care less if I lost a fish or two at the boat. It’s just always in the way and rarely do I find I need one. Obviously if you live or die by boating fish you need one.
One more tool you need! I carry a pair of landscape plant nursery hand pruners. These pruners are not much larger than pliers. Often if your lake has lots of trees and plants reaching over the water, you can accidentally cast a lure into the limbs. Instead of trying to untangle your lure while banging your trolling motor on the bank, just float in, and cut the line tangled limb and pull back out into the lake. These hand pruners simplify unhanging your lures.
I run Ionic Lithiums and learned something that may apply to other brands...I heard that you can run your electronics on your trolling motor batteries with no interferanc due to the BMS (battery management system)..I tried it and it works no interference whatsoever which is great due to small space I have in my boat..Hope this helps someone with space and less spending money..
Waterproof tackle trays are absolutely golden
Man I do that exact same thing rushing after work to fish til I can safely drive home. Or sleep on my boat And go to work from the lake. My problem is the wife. She cuts up when I go. Any day or anytime. I go
1) I carry burts bees bee's wax lip balm (honey flavor) for my lips, but also use it to apply braid leader knots. Just a tiny dab when it gets a bit frayed., 2) Ryugi hook stocker II is a great organizational hook wallet for the shore, kayak, or co-angler. Gamakatsu used to sell a similar wallet but think it's discontinued? At any rate, the ryugi ziplocks are robust and you can fit the cardboard backing for easy item number reordering. They come in different colors, too... I have two; one in black and one in white.
I can’t stress enough how invaluable I have found your insight over the past few years and I truly hope that this comment reaches you. I have always been a step ahead of my angling peers but I’m neither exaggerating nor stroking my own ego when I say that with your channel as my primary source for new insight the difference is astounding.
The hook cutting tool will be my very next purchase. That might be the best tip ever...
Don't sell yourself short Matt, you two are very special. In the good way. Tactical bassin is gold..🤙
Great vid. If i have any one strength in fishing its efficiency on the water. There have been days where im not dialed at all, but still manage a decent limit when others struggle because i make more good presentations in a day than them. And thats just because im not looking for stuff or dealing with gear issues.
Great video
Another great lesson Matt! Appreciate all your tips and tricks gathered from your lifetime of experience. I have learned so much from you and Tim throughout the years. I catch Big fish when people struggle around me using your advice, and I turn around and give the same tips to help friends and strangers get on more fish and recommend they watch you guys to learn more. Keep it up!
Knipex mini bolt cutters are awesome had my pair 20+ years ago. I am all about those.
Priceless Priceless Priceless information Matt, the cutter to cut a hook out of a hand everyone needs because you don’t want to be in that situation and be helpless ❤
Did some Googling and you’re spot on with the amps at around 3 per unit/TM. Your explanation of how to break down the drawn amps and total amp of a battery may seem simple and self explanatory but it’s the first time I’ve heard it. Makes my upcoming lithium battery purchase much easier and I’m buying with confidence now.
A great great video. You can get so much information when Matt "keeps it simple." Two things I would add for the boater. First a spare prop. Second a good set of tools to be able to fix things on the boat. This would include spare fuses. TB never disappoints.
