Not only do u have the best graphs an trolling motor but dang that's my dream boat BOSS MAN!! Lol

[@louismocniak9983]

I'm a fan of the shoulder mount you've done in the past. I feel it gives a different perspective that no one does. I like the changing camera angles and it helps you understand how you approach different cover on the bank. Keep it up my man

[@brnowak_fishing]

I might switch back to that, you’re very right, it’s kind of unique and it’s more than just my hands and you get a decent view of what’s going on! Thanks Louis

[@bowlingnut17]

Can't wait to see the Ultrex in action under your awesomeness this season Ben. That launch at Secord is blah, great body of water, horrible public access for what it is. Friend just got a new skeeter with ultrex on it, we broke the big motor in yesterday at a small lake down here for a bit and played with the ultrex and calibrated it to the ipilot, pretty neat piece of equipment that I'm jealous I don't have that's for sure. Hope I get a chance to be up that way and run into you again this year, tight lines and be safe out there!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks James! Awesome to hear from you again man! Yeah, the launch is...ehhhh, but I love that place. The ultrex is seriously a game changer though! I’m so excited to putting it to the test this year

[@teamzipperlips1797]

Ultrex for sure 🤗🎉. I have to vote both, power poles have their use also. It's really nice that you care about your viewers enough to let them give their opinion on camera angles. I like a 50/50 mix on angles and I have to say, I love the back passenger corner shot. You made me subscribe, keep up the great work!!! I'm looking forward to watching all your content 😊

[@brnowak_fishing]

+Team ZipperLips thank you so much! I appreciate the support

[@abdulrahmanelshafey4159]

*I bought this model for my 14 ft Jon boat. **enjoyable.fishing** recommend love it!!! It pushes my boat with ease ( 2 men 220 each). I would highly recommend this to anyone.*

[@beardedbassprojekt6639]

Nice to see you out on the water Ben! I should be out in 3 weeks from now if all goes well...Some places I go still have ice so I don't wanna damage the boat with an iceberg...As for the angles, 1st side view is nice, used to see it for picture but not videos, it's a nice change of pace. 2nd one, still nice but a bit too back IMO. Front one, I've been using it for a good bunch and is nice for explaining things while still fishing and showing off fish but a console mount on a bassboat works better for that. Still, take care out there man and hope you can some nice spring biggins in the time to come. Bass is only opening in 63 days, june 15th for me so you'll be way ahead of me for that.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Pascal! It feels so good to be fishing again. I’m so pumped for the season - I would hate living up in Canada and dealing with that!

[@dejapollo]

I got my ULTREX and I looove it!!

[@eminiardfishing8918]

I laughed way to hard at your excitement, which I would be super stoked too! The. I was laughing when you were trying all the different camera angles lol. But honestly man, I still really enjoy the chestie. I say the chestie and possibly the first aide angle? Either way I’ll still watch em bro! Happy for ya for getting the motor, rather have it any day over power poles.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Haha yes - I was/am so excited about this tech stuff. This will change the way I fish - you have no idea how many times I put that spot lock on just for the sake of using it last night! I'm thinking of using a few different angles this year and swapping between them as the opportunity warrants it!

[@jlball6430]

Sweet upgrades bro. Super jealous. Good luck this year. These additions to your boat should help but more pigs on the deck.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you man! I can't wait to really put it to the test on that big water!

[@nickcavazos5718]

Hell yea bro, that ultrex should be a game changer. As far as camera angles I liked that over the shoulder mikeyballz used for awhile.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Heck yes dude! I actually have that shoulder mount and used that forever! Maybe I’ll add that back a bit

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Omg I’m first! I’ve waited my WHOLE life for this!! I’d like to thank Pepsi, Duracell, Apple, Sams choice water, Big Red gum, haha jk bro! I’ll have to watch this one when I get off work. Looking forward to it though!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hahaha yes! Bad news for you though buddy...they say first is the worst and second is the best...

[@FishingWithYakPak]

Benjamin Nowak Ricky Bobby tells me otherwise 💁🏻‍♂️😂

[@cooperzimmer1206]

I like the mix of both angles

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks man! I'm with you!

[@Elway1976]

Back of the boat looked really good!

[@coledewyseoutdoors8216]

Power poles! I fish shallow water more than deep. Water temp up in Tawas is 38.... gonna be awhile before bass get active! Hammering the walleyes though!!! From shore! Lol. Good luck on your fishing season, and maybe seeya out on huron or hubbard ; )

[@brnowak_fishing]

Dang, that’s cold! That’s awesome though! Maybe I’ll see you out there this year!

[@GRIZZHUNT]

Never mind I can tell it is haha. I see that tree next to the launch lol. I’ve fished it a ton ha. I love that river/lake. So big

[@jarod5179]

“Look Ma no hands!!” 😂😂😂

[@eliteangler]

I have power poles for keeping position in shallow water so the ultrex doesn't stir up the area. I use ultrex when fishing deep and want to hold position. There are uses for both. Great video and new sub here.

[@brnowak_fishing]

EliteFishing thank you! I agree - if I could have both, I would

[@dustinpitts2741]

my ultrex is awesome and it is great in fishing current and fast moving water, it's a great invention for sure ;;;;;;;

[@rivercat_outdoors8347]

I like the chest cam also. My dad has an Ultrex on our fishing boat because we fish for Muskie most of the time and power polls on a chrestliner fish hawk doesn’t look to good, but we use our spot lock almost the whole day besides running up along the shore.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Oh yeah, I hear you! The Spot Lock is such an awesome feature - I'm so excited to play around with it more this year!

[@TejasFly]

Different camera angle?? Yessss!!!!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Angles for daysss!

[@floydgilreath1875]

I like the angle of seeing you standing and casting.

[@mrwwh9174]

Really cool vid. I'm on the fence about upgrading to an Ultrex but some of the negative reviews give me second thoughts. I know it would be awesome in tandem with PPoles for shallow and Ultrex deep. What's your opinion now that you've had it for sometime? Detroit River can drain batteries.

[@hoopsheavenpa]

Excellent video! Have you had any issues with the noise the motor makes when it changes direction? I read a review where a guy said he felt it spooked fish when fishing shallow. I’m about 85% sure I’m getting one this coming winter.

[@MP-cx2rh]

Both camera shots are good...spotlock is awesome just installed Terrova. Best camera shot is 3' high just to you left that captures you, your cast and the hook set.

[@brnowak_fishing]

That’s a great idea! I need to try and get a camera mount up that high on the left side

[@estott112288]

For my area (central Fl) the shallow water anchors work well. I will say there are times that spot lock would be nice.

[@buddyfuentes]

I use a 10' power pole for my fishing in the shallow marsh of Louisiana, but I'm watching this video to decide if I want something with the anchor feature and which model I'm interested in. As far as the camera angle I don't care for the chest, but is is much better than the angle from the left rear of the boat. Thanks for the video.

[@PainterDave]

I prefer head cam. I also like the different angles used periodically. Make the video more interesting.

[@tomstarcevich1147]

On lake Michigan i use my spot lock all the time it's awesome puts way more fish in my boat you will love it👍😊

[@brnowak_fishing]

I can’t wait! That’s so awesome - on the Great Lakes it’s so key

[@charlesronk2989]

Nice video. I am also from Michigan down in Hillsdale Co. I am looking to upgrade my trolling motor and graph. Are you happy with that set up.

[@tyler__bart9646]

Love the new angles! Keep switching it up, but dont entirely get rid of the chest cam

[@brnowak_fishing]

For sure! I’ll keep the chest cam and then just run one or two more angles as well

[@BassGeek]

I do a lot of sight fishing in the spring and a lot of offshore fishing in the summer and winter. For me about the only time I would use the talons or Power poles would be in the spring. Don't get me wrong the poles would have helped me hundreds of times but in order the trolling motor then the poles.

[@brnowak_fishing]

BassGeek I hear you for sure! That’s how I feel too! The poles would be nice occasionally but I LOVE that offshore deal!

[@aaronthoj2000]

I'm looking at buying a Minnkota Ulterra. What makes this Ultrex any better than the Ulterra. Does it have auto deploy and stow?

[@my71chevro1et]

I liked the first alternate angle, the closer side angle.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks dude! I hope things are going well

[@johnnysaechao6218]

I want both of them lol.. we fish deep water out in Cali and during winter months the spot lock will b nice and power poles for the spawn in grass lakes..

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hahah yesss - I would love that too. Fishing shallow grass or spawning fish would be perfect for the poles

[@victorxavier9977]

I prefer the first boat angle over the other two but I also like the chest cam because I can see how your working the bait. Btw about the red/pink line I read an article online that tested all the different colors and they stated the pink color is less visible in the water than other colors.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah! That’s the big theory behind Powerpro using the red color for the braid! I just love it because I can see it super easy above water :-)

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! A1!!!💯

[@AlexRuddFishing]

I like all your angles...

[@brnowak_fishing]

So many beautiful angles

[@great207]

How is the Ultrex spot lock in windy conditions? I have a 2016 Terrova, and the spot lock feature has a difficult time compensating for the wind.

[@brnowak_fishing]

It’s been awesome so far! It actually works best for me when the boat is trying to be blown around. It’s decent when it’s calm, but the boat tries to correct even when it doesn’t need to

[@gordongriebleoutdoors7200]

The side boat angles are nice you can see everything

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah - I'm thinking of swapping between a body-mount cam and the side angles! I like having a variety of angles to swap between

[@Pitchpullin5]

Question for ya, Do you think you will switch and get Humminbirds for your ultrex? Did you get the I-link? I have 1 Garmin Echomap plus on my boat and I am debating on getting a HB and the I-link just so I can follow routes and depth. Your opinion on this please. Thanks, I greatly appreciate your input, Ray

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hey Ray - I love my Garmin units. For the way I fish, specific spots offshore or running down the bank, I don’t think I’d use the contour follow feature with HB units enough to justify it. I could see it being awesome if you know they’re along a certain break/depth or for trolling, but the way I fish, it doesn’t suit me enough. Good question though, because having that ability to link the graph to the TM is pretty sweet

[@Pitchpullin5]

Thank you Ben. I appreciate you taking time of your day to reply.

[@MrDaveB123]

LMAO the throwing of the garbage was epic Too funny

[@brnowak_fishing]

Haha Kylie is Savage!

[@zachf4061]

I like the other angles. I think there is a time for each though. With the chest cam we have a chance to see what you see easier than with the other angles, so if you are seeing a lay down or schooling baitfish it’s easier for us to tell that’s where you are targeting. But I liked the view of the other angles as well. I think they are good for seeing how you are working the rod with different techniques, all of them work for me though

[@brnowak_fishing]

I feel that for sure. I think I'm going to try and swap between the angles and use them as the situation warrants it. I think it's super interesting to be able to see more of what's going on on the water, but the chest angle shows certain specific things too!

[@danielvrana9444]

I like the angle

[@skwira000]

Not just spot lock. There's also follow the contour. If you're on a wide open body of water where you don't have to stay tight to structure, then pure electric steer is no big deal. However, when you're on a lake like mine trying to stay tight to the weeds and then want to turn back around, the Terrova and Ulterra trolling motors can wrap around the shaft multiple times. But they won't wrap too many times on spot lock. So that's another reason to get the Ultrex is it physically cannot do that.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Good good points. If you have Bird units, you can get the link to have it follow lines, etc

[@czykrepublic4323]

Everyone up here (MN) is upgrading to the Ultrex. I could see where the Talons would be useful when fishing in slop, pads or really shallow because they don't make noise. Unless you're a tourney fisherman, probably not enough utility there to justify the Talon price tag, however.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, I hear that for sure. I loved my talons for shallow water fishing, but I just didn’t use them enough to justify it! It’s a limited benefit

[@rockydabull1711]

Both!

[@westtexasdave2140]

A must have for ledge fishing.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yes! So so nice

[@GRIZZHUNT]

Hey is that second dam??? Boat launch looks familiar!

[@matad311]

Sweet! I cant wait to buy a a trolling motor this spring/summer! I haven't fished with one in 2 years now and it really sucks :( Here's a question what happened to your old one? Whiling to sell it? And yes im in Lower Michigan myself and I am trying to save for spot lock since I do head up north on bigger lakes with my lil boat that literally is blown everywhere lol

[@brnowak_fishing]

I just took this one off to replace the other one I had. I'm going to probably be selling my old trolling motor, I just have to do some research so I know how much to ask for it

[@matad311]

Benjamin Nowak well let me know when you come up with that price I may be interested! Message me anytime! Either here Facebook or Snapchat @matad311

[@Gfin28]

I like the boat angle and chest cam i would use a bit of both maybe use the chesty just for when your actually fighting a fish and boat cam for casting etc.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yes! I'm thinking of just running multi cams so you get a few different shots I can rotate through as needed

[@spoolspeedceramicsi3n4bear9]

I don’t care about the camera! I just want to see that Ultrex👍

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hahah yess - that ultrex is the deal! I’m in love with it!

[@matad311]

For fishing angles, i still dig the chest cam to see how your working the baits and I do like the front of the bow side angle.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah - I'm thinking of running multi-angles and switching between them. The Chest Cam does a good job of showing certain things too

[@matad311]

Benjamin Nowak have you looked into one of these navigation light GoPro stick? It’s always charging off the power for the nav light that’s always there. I thought about buying one of these for my boat but for me it’s a tuff price to swallow...

[@rayminthecat]

Get a drone boat that has spotlock and follows you around all day and has voice activated areil drone with camera - "Drone deploy!"

[@TheRick2130]

minn kota 2017 & up model spot lock its awesome.. got a terrova on 18ft v hull 20 - 35mph wind with 2-4ft swells held the boat better on a anchor

[@art7art19]

Would a 80 lb terrova on my 16 ft bass tracker allow me to fish structure in 20 ft of water with 10-15 mph winds?

[@daviszimmer5114]

I like a mix of the angles I’d rather have the trolling motor to fish out deep

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, me too man!

[@vhf2582]

Really like the Ultrex. You could try another camera angle. I like both Ultrex and power poles.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yes - Both are so awesome!

[@theoneandonlycarlton]

I'm subd now! Thank Alex

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Carlton!

[@TonyGruber2009]

Hi, does anyone know if the Ultrex is designed to be used in Saltwater also or is it meant just for freshwater use. Thanks, Tony

[@tietoppers]

I’m looking to buy one and based on what I’ve read this one is fresh water use only. They sell the salt water version which is white in color. I could not find one with MDI though...

[@brnowak_fishing]

Unfortunately I’m not sure - I’m sorry

[@georgezura]

You need 5 camera angles all the time. It's not a single setup you need to have all 5 recording all the time and then pick the best angle to match the shot best and make it all work in post editing

[@Inpreesme]

When will be re-edited 8 1/2 minute version be released 🥱🥱😴😴

[@hydrophilic2021]

How do you like the Ultrex now that you've had it for a while, is the spot lock improved as they say it is?

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hydrophilic I seriously don’t think I could fish without it, now that I’ve been using it. It has become a critical piece of how I fish now!

[@hydrophilic2021]

@@brnowak_fishing thanks for the reply i've asked a lot of youtubers this and haven't got a response

[@brnowak_fishing]

@@hydrophilic2021 Well if you ever want a response, I'll respond :-) For real though, the Ultrex has changed the way I fish. Having spot lock helps me catch more bass - no doubt

[@johng.9877]

Use all angles.. The chest angle is great for showing technique on say jigging or popping and allowing viewers to see the action of the rod/hands.. all the other angles, put into a video, just as you did in this one is great. Feed back on how you like the new Garmin units? I'm looking to upgrade my Hummingbird SI/DI to either Raymarine or Garmin.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I'm with you 100%. The multi-angles helps a ton. I LOVE my Garmin graphs - the biggest selling point for me is the Panoptix transducer because it changes the way I'm able to fish offshore structure, because I can actually look at it in front of the boat without having to guess where it's at. That alone, for me, is the biggest selling point!

[@TheKodiakWay]

Maybe try a cam angle from the upper console? Here in Central Oregon, almost all of my fishing is deeper than 20ft... My Ultrex should be here next week!

[@brnowak_fishing]

I might toss the dash cam back on - my only qualm was that dudes stand straight in front of it sometimes and mess up my shot ;-) That's so awesome! You're gonna love it man! I was amazed after just using it one time!

[@TheKodiakWay]

Benjamin Nowak Maybe something taller? Almost like a point of view from a buddy fishing with you on the front deck...?

[@l44va]

You have an Ultrex...you don't need a dock to tie off too. Just use your remote and put your boat 10ft offshore and hit spot lock while you go park the truck! :-)

[@brnowak_fishing]

I’ve done that too now! It’s so so handy for sure!

[@nathansomers7388]

I like the angles just switch it up!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Nathan! I’ll try

[@lsfishing4388]

I have an ultrex. I fish both shallow and deep and the only time I ever would wish I had power poles or talons is bed fishing. its quiet. the ultrex isn't. how are those ark rods? been looking into them and they seem like baller price point rods!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, I hear that for sure - having poles bed fishing is the biggest value for me too, but 98% of the year, the Ultrex is the deal

[@brnowak_fishing]

The Ark rods are amazing. The new Honey Badger lineup that they released is one of their best rods in my opinion and it’s cheaper than the Invoker and Sniper (which are also sweet)

[@lsfishing4388]

like I said I would say I fished shallow and deep last year close to an even 50/50 split. a lot of people think that the ultrex is great off shore but I think its better shallow where you have to be sorta stealthy and act fast when you hook up. if I'm fishing docks or frogging a clump of grass where they are schooled up or any shallow cover and the wind is blowing me into it and I hook up ill immediately hit spot lock and it will keep me away from any sort of cover that I would otherwise blow out if my boat blew into it. anyway sorry for the rant and if you ever find yourself in Wisconsin let me know and we can get out!

[@fredsolis1881]

You might look at Mickey Blazz from Florida he uses a shoulder mount works good. I think all angles work very good but it’s all up to you

[@brnowak_fishing]

I appreciate that a ton Fred! I might use the shoulder mount a bit and mix that in too

[@nathansomers7388]

Like the back angle better than the front

[@evancarlson7833]

i like the side angle

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks man!

[@v8consumption]

Is it brushless

[@jakeboss6342]

Lol, if you had an Ulterra, you wouldn't need a dock. I absolutely love my Minn Kota Ulterra trolling motor, Plus I had back injuries from work, and it helps a great deal, I can enjoy fishing 100% again because of it. My most favorite lake has such a crappy dock, its kinda lopsided and is doesn't seem very stable, maybe one of the posts for anchoring the dock might be cracked, but with my Ulterra I never need to touch the dock, it doesn't seem stable enough to tie my boat up to it to keep it there while parking the truck, i'm not sure what other people do, they definitely need to fix it, whoever is in charge of that. lol or maybe it's not much of a popular lake and no one goes to it enough to care, either way i can have the lake to myself and catch giant walleye, bass and crappie

[@brnowak_fishing]

That's so awesome! I've started playing with the Ultrex a bit, running it away from the dock and spot locking away from the dock, but I always get nervous it's going to float away or some one will get worried and think it floated off!

[@jakeboss6342]

That has happened to me a few times, parking the truck, the boat is out there 10/15ft away people trying to my attention yelling your boats floating away, I yelled out, No its okay, I've got an Ulterra (Like they know what that means). it took me awhile to be comfortable using that feature, I practiced all the time getting to know the trolling motor so i could get comfortable using and steering it while i'm not even near my boat, and practiced so much it ran out of batteries using it the entire day, without even fishing, it's such an awesome motor, if people are nearby they stare at an empty boat controlling itself lol. I'm very surprised that I don't see more people using one

[@williambannister1127]

I like an angle from the back of the boat, you can wear a mic and it would be awesome!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks dude! I like that too - being able to swap between the two and get awesome audio

[@kellymason4190]

I like the other angles. Will be nice when you catch those pig smallies. It will show the fight better. 🤙🏻

[@brnowak_fishing]

That’s my hope! I’m gonna use it to show those megas jumping and get some sweet footage!

[@noahb7956]

Mix the chesty and the 3rd angle?

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks man! I like that too, being able to swap between the shots!

[@jacobkrueger1920]

I think you should do some chest mount shots but mostly camera from the dash with you wearing a mic. Like the first view you showed in the video. Maybe some chest mount footage though. The 3rd view you showed was cool too. Didn't like the one from the back though. I think you should do all three! Mostly the view from the side of the boat though.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks man! I’ll start to mix in some new shots! You’re right, the chest mount is good occasionally, but other shots are able to show different things too

[@tbeavers23]

Why does the trolling motor sound so loud when it moves? Should be dead quiet for how $$$ it is

[@richshackelford5793]

Power polesor talons would work best for me . I fish the Susquehanna River 90 % of the time

[@brnowak_fishing]

I hear that! For river fishing, shallow water anchors are the deal

[@christophergreene7027]

I know this is an older video but I like the chest cam. Lets me see what's really going on from my normal perspective.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I appreciate the comment! Yeah, the chest cam is fairly “normal” POV style

[@itstomfrombrooklyn4296]

do you fish tournaments ?? opens ? bfls? FLWs?

[@itstomfrombrooklyn4296]

love your channel by the way

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thank you! I don't - I got out of Tournaments when I started really getting into making videos...for me it's just too hard to balance the two to really be successful on the water but also make cool content for you guys

[@6to8john]

What model of onyx device is that?

[@brnowak_fishing]

[@MrLapin-LL]

Really like the "boat angle". "Chest angle"? I'm not against, it does the job, but not to much...

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, I hear you - I might mix in some new angles and test it out!

[@Smalltechguy]

Hey Benjamin, working on a Triton boat for a friend. Someone installed his Ultrex and I think they may have made the cable route a different way. If you could post some slower camera views at your install I would appreciate it. As far as the camera angles..I always like the transom views. Shows the way you cast and someone like me just might learn how to get under a dock without using a sling shot pole...

[@brnowak_fishing]

Paul Govensky Hey Paul, which cable are you wondering about? The pull cable to lift the motor or one of the other cables?

[@Smalltechguy]

The big cable that goes to the pedal. I believe it’s was switched over. As your looking toward the bow from the deck this cable is off the boat instead of inside the boat. I don’t have a manual for it. My friend bought this motor used and no manual in site.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Paul Govensky There is a way to flip it around, but I can’t remember how - here’s a link to the online Ultrex manuals though: www.minnkotamotors.com/support/manuals/trolling-motors/ultrex

[@Smalltechguy]

I got the trap door off but don’t see any bolts to switch that huge cable around🤔🤔🤔

[@Smalltechguy]

Hey, I got it to turn around. I had to head out to the lake to do it. I did find a schematic for it..thanks

[@worldcup87]

I like the different angle your right chest cams are overused. The best was the first one.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Grant! I'm gonna try to switch in some new camera angles from time to time!

[@paulbailey1933]

Closer camera from the side of the boat or the front camera

[@brnowak_fishing]

Thanks Paul!

[@lLaingerl]

I like chesty cause you can see how you workbaits and the hook set and bite

[@brnowak_fishing]

For sure!

[@jeffyoung6231]

Why pink braid?

[@billnelson1214]

Some time like this . Still like chest mount

[@MrSki-tyvm]

Not enough Ultrex close upset or review information. Show remote?

[@brnowak_fishing]

I liked my ultrex a lot. I recently got an older boat though and put a Garmin Force on it. The Ultrex is truer and true and an awesome motor. Responsive foot pedal, good spot lock and relatively good on power/output. If you have the money though, the Force is a big upgrade from a power perspective. It is more quiet, better battery life and better power output

In my opinion you cant compare talons.or power poles with spot lock. They are both good for different things. I rather pole down in shallow water. Spot locking in less than 6 feet of water is a major disturbance to the fish. Spot lock is awesome in so many ways. Basically all the areas to deep to pole down.

[@brnowak_fishing]

You’re exactly right, they both have a specific time and place - bed fishing last weekend sure would’ve been nice to have my talons back, but overall the Ultrex has been amazing for the way I fish!

I fish strip pits so it’s the ultrex

[@Wooduck]

Spot lock over power poles. And on Ned rig , slow down , your moving way to fast.

[@jonnycieslak]

I have a talon and absolutely love it! But I'm more of a walleye guy so I've enjoyed spot lock for many years already with the terrova! I'm. Actually surprised bass guys didn't buy the terrova 5 years ago?? I've bass fished with it just fine ! Other than docks the cables not much better to have. Great video man!!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, I kind of wondered too for a long time - I think the biggest thing was just the smaller bracket which didn't lend itself as well to shallow water fishing

[@hondamx191]

I had a terrova on my bass boats for years. Guys would look at me funny. Most of my fishing is on the Great Lakes, so the terrova made sense.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I understand that for sure! That's a good point - the Terrova has been out forever, but a lot of bass guys weren't huge fans of the pedal and the mounting bracket. For spot lock capabilities, that was the way to go though!

Where’s the bladebait?

[@brnowak_fishing]

Great question! Actually I had some in the boat, but was being lazy and just grabbed the ned rig!

[@cajunsquad6717]

I like to watch the hookset from the chest cam but it would also be better to watch you reel in a fish from the angle on the side of the boat.

[@brnowak_fishing]

I feel that - I love the multi-angle too so you can switch cameras when fish jump or make a cool cast or something as well :-)

[@nathangittinger6562]

Mixture of the chest cam and the middle side of the boat angle. Different than any other youtubers.

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah! And an interesting perspective to be able to see things that you might miss from the chest cam!

[@paulbailey1933]

Both power poles and spot lock

[@brnowak_fishing]

Hahah yes - I’m with you. If I could have both, I probably would since there are huge benefits to both

[@paulbailey1933]

Benjamin Nowak thanks for the reply lol

[@TeamJesusOutdoors]

Walleye and multi-species anglers have had that technology for more than a decade now. It is nothing short of amazing. I hate the chest cam view!

[@brnowak_fishing]

Yeah, the Terrova is sweet for those walleye guys but just was never marketed/made for the bass guys who wanted the feel of a cable drive and needed the stronger base. I’m excited to play with some new camera angles this year

[@gunnarwalkeroutdoors4761]

I like the chest cam

[@CrappielimitTV]

Spot lock
