I have a Bass Pro Shops XPS (3 bank charger). Looks like it is made by ProMariner for Bass Pro Shops. It works just fine. I think if you stay with a good brand name you can't go wrong. Definitely worth the effort of installing one.
Mine is installed at the bow of boat where I have a storage...
Anyone else run these on your hoochie rigs? I tried some last year and it seemed to turn into a tangled mess repeatedly. Not sure if it is worth the effort or not. Also, I didn't catch anything either so I guess I need a new plan either way!
The hoochie leader thread got me thinking about how I attach my terminal gear (so far mainly just wedding rings and hoochies) to my dodger. I started tying my own rigs and have add a barrel swivel at the end for easy attachment to the dodger. I thought this was a slick idea to make setting up...
Hmmm - just started koke fishing last year so this makes me wonder if that might be part of my problem with hoochies. Only hooked one last year on a hoochie rig. I have been running 10lb leader about 24" on all my rigs. I'll need to pay attention to what happens to them in the water.
Verizon has been fairly good to me. I know where your jaded comments are coming from - believe me.
I started fishing Merwin and Yale last year. I had good coverage for Yale. Merwin is spotty but you can find pockets that work OK.
Hope that helps.
