Have you turned on interference rejection in the Power-Pole app and tried all noise filter settings on your Humminbird?

@@patrickzajdel so I tried the noise rejection option but for some reason on my helix it doesn’t pop up but I also only have 360 hooked up and I noticed that it seems to be a 2D Sonar option.

Also when I got this new board and I went to do the update I ran into a couple issues and I had to restore everything to default and never messeds with it since. So the update may have not actually gone through, updated everything last night after watching your video I’m gonna go out there now and see if it fixed. Literally was going to get an Ultrex on my next boat if this didn’t work bc I love 360. So many people have no idea what they’re missing.

@@mattwfishing seems like it might just need proper settings and updates. I won’t run another motor other than Move. I fell in love with it this year.

Definitely not!

I am just trying to share an unbiassed opinion of the three major brands and their strengths and weaknesses

It seems like with the Mega Live each update has its own set of quirks as well as benefits.

I’ve found Garmin to be most user friendly personally and least buggy. Humminbird as of late have had some struggles with updates and quality. All three brands have a great side imaging now since all are in the Megahertz range. With Garmin, you want the GT56 transducer. With Lowrance you want the HDS Pro units with the Active Imaging 3-in-1 HD transducer.

So happy to hear you love the Exprides as much as I do! Cheers

@@patrickzajdel I haven't picked one up yet Patrick but soon .

I am partnered with Radioworld and they wanted to get some first hand insight on the motor since it was new to the market. I used the store display model for a few months to test it out. Since then I have purchased one for my boat and I love it!

That 7’6MH can do so many things! It would be a great big wormin’ rod and offshore jig rod.

Would the 7’6” MH work well with 4.3 and 4.8 Keitechs on a 1/4 ounce flashy swimmer?

@@Boilermakers_92 no problem for those baits. That would work very well!

It will definitely get the job done. I’ve used it for wacky works as well as dropshotting 👌

@@patrickzajdel Thank You.

I believe it is called the Multi-Vu Pro Gen 2

Can’t be! There were fish on it….

You can play around with the colours a bit on the new VX cards and customize how you like it. But I agree, the Lakemaster colours are much more vibrant than that of the CMAP.

For those mounts the customer supplied them himself. If you are looking for a local option, GeigerTec may have mounts for the 1875 pro v bass as well! You can get in touch with someone at Radioworld to find out for you.

You would be better off with the 7’L model for that!

Each rod has a different action. But most of the time I prefer a fast for bladed jigs.

Appreciate it!

I don’t have any personal experience with that model, but what I can tell you is that from experimenting with different rods for the jig head minnow technique. You definitely want that solid tip to impart the right action. From those that I’ve talked to you that 6 foot 10 medium solid tip is the deal.

@@patrickzajdel Thank you for the insight.

I was running a 100Ah but actually went to the 315ah Dakota and I’m loving it.

I can’t speak for Patrick but he may argue all this is exactly why he doesn’t have any money 😂

Do you have any other units on your boat that you would be looking to network with? Or would this be the only unit?

@@patrickzajdel Just one unit. I have a 10' Jon boat. Lmao

@@straightwhitemale5753 go with the touchscreen option with the Garmin 👌

@@patrickzajdel You would choose Garmin over Humminbird? Why? How is the clarity and is the screen glass?

@@straightwhitemale5753 the 2D sonar on the Garmin is really impressive!

Which one did you try?

@patrickzajdel 7'2" medium heavy The Rod is either heavy or not balanced, and ended up with a Daiwa Tatula 7' 2" MH glass cranking rod not their glass bladed jig rod which is a MH 7'4" too but heavy feeling 8n the hands, The $159 cork handle rods. But I think my favorite is Bass Pro Shops Johnny Morris CarbonLite Technique Casting Rod - 7'3" - Heavy - Heavy Moderate - Bladed Jig SKU: 3810360 I have tried many a rods for this technique and they cross over for 3/4oz rattle trap rod. More expensive doesn't always mean better. That Bass Pro bladed jig rod is even better then Abu Garcia Hank Cherry Bladed jig rod better balanced etc. and I think Abu Garcia makes it for Bass Pro

🙌

Appreciate it! Thanks!

Humminbird is still going to give you the best side imaging. Lowrance and Garmin are close, but still not there. To reach depths of 150 you would need to run it on the lower frequencies

​@patrickzajdel thanks for your reply. Would there be a difference between Solix 10 gen 3 vs Helix 10 gen 4 in the same situation ?

@@vaskodimoski5690 the max depths and ranges on the Solix for the Mega+ imaging are larger than the Helix. I believe it’s +50ft for Mega+ Down Imaging and an extra 100ft of range for the Mega+ Side Imaging

Ok thank you. I might go solix

@@vaskodimoski5690 that’s what I prefer between the two. I really like the touchscreen of the Solix and the features it has.

How long of a handle do you prefer for a Jerkbait?

@@patrickzajdelAnywhere from 13 to 14.5 for jerkbaits and topwaters

Thanks for tuning in!

You can definitely do that, your Solix 12 will have a clearer display

I used 10awg for the 360, and a separate 10awg for the GLS10 Garmin Blackbox.

Patrick any chance you can show simple schematic how you ran your battery

@@TheChodsr Give me a follow on Instagram and message me there and I can walk you through it @patrickzajdel

@@patrickzajdel don't have insta only fb but thanks

@@TheChodsr Facebook works too!

Thanks for watching!

A 7’6MH or 7’6H would be a great addition to your existing arsenal!

How would the 7’7” H A compare to the the 7’6” h b.

@@alexandermenningmann5469 the 7’7h is much more moderate. The 7’6h is a much faster rod.

Thanks. Exactly the info i was looking for. Your page has great information. Im a subscriber now!!

Will the 7’6” heavy be good for jigs 3/4-1 0z and weedless magdraft style baits on a keel weighted weedless offset hook.

That’s a tough one! I can’t honestly say that there is one rod that can cover that spectrum well. I think you would more than likely be looking at two rods to get the job done.

@@patrickzajdel what two rods would would you suggest?

@@av_100series I think a 7’6mh in the Expride lineup would do the trick on the 6” swimbait, assuming it is a Magdraft style. That rod is super versatile and will do much more than just that. For jerkbaits and shallow crankbaits, one rod that can do both is the 6’10m Expride.

@@patrickzajdel thank you!

I am not currently running a Power-Pole Charge, however, am looking at getting one. I am currently charging them with a MinnKota 550PCL at the end of the day. I am looking at adding a DC to DC charger between my AGM and dedicated electronics lithium. I would do that when I add a PowerPole Charge as well.

@@patrickzajdel noted and thanks 🙏

For me personally I find that it does really well with a 3/4oz. You can get away with a 1/2oz if you need to with a larger bait, but the 7’6h would be better suited for that. I really like that 7’7h for frogs, the 7’6h is a good option as well, but throwing frogs on the 7’6xh hasn’t been a consideration for me.

What’s the reason you prefer the 7’7 over 7’6xh for frogs?

@@ryanmichael8870 The 7'7H casts a lot better than the 7'6XH. It's still got a lot of power, but is a more moderate rod. Tip loads a bit better too compared to the 7'6XH for frog fishing. You get mile long casts and really good hookups from this rod, with lots of power.

Stop it, I can’t be buying more rods. I need a heavy pitching rod for 3/4 and up but also something I’d love for a back up for frogs. Doesn’t seem like either are best for both

@@ryanmichael8870 I use the 7’7H for pitching as well. It does well with 3/4oz but does lighter as well. If you’re looking for one, that would be the one.

Most definitely do! It's one of the better heavy weight pitching and punching rods. For me, I opted for the 7'6XH and 7'7H for how I fish, and wanted to keep it in that seven and a half foot range for consistency with my other rods for pitching and punching. I do however think that the 7'7H is a better action for swimbaits, but the 7'11XH is a great punch and heavy jig rod.

@@patrickzajdel Nice good to know! What would you consider the true weight ratings on both the 7'11 and the 7'7? I guess I probably just have to pick if I want more of a focus on jigs/bottom contact or swimbaits huh. I'm assuming the 7'7 would be a bit more versatile overall and better for swimjigs and A-Rigs? Also I've never pitched with a rod over 7'6 so is the 7'11 more difficult than a shorter rod for that?

@@GoodByeSeeYou the 7’11 is definitely a lot more rod to manage compared to the 7’6xh. That is why I chose the 7’6xh, as it is more inline with feel to the 7’6h and 7’7h. 7’7h will be a great swimbait rod, a-rig, and beefy single hook bait rod, jig rod as well.

@@patrickzajdel Awesome really appreciate the input!

Congratulations on your new boat! I think when it comes to a dual graph setup (1 at console, 1 at bow) it is very advantageous to stick with the same brand. Doing so will allow you to network your two units together to share data between them, such as waypoints, routes, tracks.

I will also add that when looking for a Forward Facing Sonar display, I would look at a 10” at the minimum.

Thank you for the prompt response. Those are all great suggestions. I guess I was considering installing a Garmin at the bow because they seem to be a bit better for live scope.

Garmin is definitely the leader in FFS. And if you plan on using your bow unit strictly for FFS, then you may not be interested in networking that unit with the console. In that case, a stand-alone Garmin on the front of the boat would be a great choice!

@@patrickzajdel it’s so much to consider. Thank goodness for experts like you that are willing to share your knowledge! I appreciate you, sir!

The 7’6xh is what you will want. I fish up to a 1.5oz on that rod. Haven’t tried anything heavier. The 7’6h can do 3/4 very comfortably, but feels underpowered with a 1.25oz.

The 7’6 XH is a phenomenal soft Swimbait rod as well. I throw 6-8”soft Swimbaits with an owner beast hook on braid to flourocarbon leader and it’s perfect. You can also use it for flipping and punching heavy cover it’s got a great backbone with a mod fast tip. I’ll even fish glide baits up to 2oz’s. I put all double footed guides on it and it’s my favorite rod I own

The electronics game is forever evolving! While the HDS Pro really impressed me, I still prefer my Solix. If you want the best in imaging, you will want to go to the Apex Series simply for the increased resolution in the screen. Hope to run into you at the shop or on your river one day!

I'm gonna get mine built with the k frame.that's the only thing I don't like about the B model.

It really depends on what type of cover you are typically fishing. If you're more of the open water smallmouth angler, the 6'10ML is a phenomenal choice! If you are fishing around any cover that the fish can get you wrapped up in like weeds or timber, take a look at the 7'2ML!

@@patrickzajdel Thanks for being so responsive! It looks like you’re doing a good job of getting back to everyone. My area has a lot of weeds. Not really thick stemmed stuff like pads to get wrapped around as much as some fluffy stuff that can be a nuisance to pull them through. I’ll have to identify it someday. I’ll look at the 7’2” ML. I’ve also seen you recommend the 7’ L. Would you say it’s less powerful than the 6’10 ML, like the name suggests. Or maybe more powerful due to the increased length? Ultimately, I guess I’m looking for something primarily for bottom contact, light enough to throw 1/10-1/6 ned heads, with enough backbone to deal with weeds.

@@matthewlukas1189 the 7’2ml is still my go-to for ned rigs 👌
