I am sure they may have already. KVD and Zona seem to make it work for them. They all show the same stuff, just some better than others. A person has to spend a lot of time learning how to use it and find out what their looking at. I mean lots of time. I am fine tuning things every day. Never have I found any kind of depth finder of any kind that is perfect by running default settings. None!!!!!!! In my opinion, there is no better FFS than Garmin. Then Lowrance and HB. They all give similar information but useless if the fisherman doesn't take the time on the water to make it work. Success is in the catching no matter how you decide to go about your fishing. Everything becomes easier when you have a few years under your belt learning spoonplugging guidelines. Some do very well without them. But their time on the water is the deciding factor in how good they can get. It's all about a persons effort. John

Bass Tournaments should allow Trolling since they are allowing FFS..

Turbo, its not some much that trolling is not allowed, Boat Mgf rule the game. The problem would be someone would show up and win with a 14ft tinny boat and a 10 horse tiller, Boat MFG cannot make any money building that type of boat. Its all about the money>

The troller would not stand a chance against all of the 20 year old video gamers.

Or a 70 year old video gamer who has learned to use the game. I have never had a problem learning anything new, wanting to learning any new so called fishing method. I never wanted to place limitations on myself for a chance to learn how to catch a fish. What does it matter how we do it? I never thought it was a sin to step outside the spoonpluggers way of thinking. I am glad I did stick with it for a lot of years because it made learning anything I wanted to learn including the video games much easier. And you would have a chance to beat those kids on many days. That includes this kid. We all have tough days. John

I believe that video was released on April 1 as an April Fools’ Day joke…on TikTok even. But if you freeze the screen at the end, this is what it says. We’ll know soon enough. I’m guessing a prank - for now.

I hope so too because I would have to get two jobs to afford that but I would find a way. John
