Minn Kota Weedless Wedge - Does It Work?

Weedless Wedge test on the Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot 136.
The weedless Wedge is definitely a good prop to have around when you're going through heavy vegitation.

Great info! Good to know I have other options for my AP136. Thanks for sharing!

[@imunuri1]

Thank you very much, sir. This was very helpful. Thinking about buying one of these and can’t find any other reviews on it.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Glad it helped you out

I just bought the MKP-6 yesterday. Great comparison for me. Reassured that I now have 2 props to carry one for long distance and no weeds. I am still learning lakes here in Tennessee but I was looking for a little more power and weed strategy. Thanks for the video and looking forward to others.

[@Adventures101.]

Thanks for the video I was wondering what would happen and this was a perfect video for that

[@stevehogan8829]

Thank you for doing that comparion. I believe the regular prop is going to do just fine. Haven't had a lot of problems in the back bays down here in swfl. Been running the regular prop on oyster bar and that is the biggest issue down here. Lots of knicks and cuts in my prop after 2 months use. I carry and extra prop and locknut incase of issues. Good job, thanks.

I am under the impression the Weedless Wedge 2 products keep the weeds from getting wrapped up around shaft, that difficult part between the prop and the shaft body. If so, it would be nice to see the WW2 line become available for the 3.25" trolling motors. Did you get the sense weeds were still getting wrapped up in that in between area of the shaft the prop mounts on? And thank you for taking the time to put this video out there for us AutoPilot'ers!

Looks like a must have for every AutoPilots spare parts bag to go with spare shear pins and spare remote batteries.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

An easy, inexpensive addition.

Enjoy watching your videos I just got my auto pilot 120 last week transferring from a titan 10.5 with Torqueedo USA excited to get it on the water keep up the great info. I live in Roanoke County I hope to get to see you on the water sometime I’d like to meet you.

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Thanks for watching. I'm glad you're enjoying them. Hope to see you on the water soon.

I use a weed less wedge on my MK 30lbs on my pontoon boat and have found that with this prop I can now keep up with my buddy in exactly the same boat, but with a newer 55lbs motor on his. It made my setup faster, and because of this I can now spend more time out on the lake at a lower setting without my battery going dead

[@CaseyReedFishing]

That's awesome. I've found it slows me down. But just like 0.5mph.

[@soggykid5580]

I was wondering if you put it in reverse for a few seconds if the weeds would get off a little better

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Well there's not a "reverse" but you can turn the motor and bump it and it can help but not always the best.

[@jonathanellingwood8275]

Have you ever tried the grass ninja? Seems to be popular in south Florida?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

I tried it once on my PDL drive. I didn't secure it well enough and it fell off. I'm sure it does a decent job though. Nothing is perfect and that along with the weedless prop probably works well.

[@figueroa2191]

How is it holding up on the auto pilot? Just got mine yesterday

[@CaseyReedFishing]

I haven't been using it much. Definitely worth having though. I switch up props a lot.

[@KayakFishingChad]

Where did you get your cover for your kayak?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

Carver Covers. You can get it at FishUSA. FishUSA.rv5k.net/JyZM2

[@austin5618]

Want to get the 120 is the prop hole the same size?because i think getting the weedless prop is a fantastic idea

[@CaseyReedFishing]

The weedless wedge prop will work on the AutoPilot 120. Not the 120 MK.

[@austin5618]

@@CaseyReedFishing this might be a stupid question lol but what do you mean bye MK 120

[@CaseyReedFishing]

@@austin5618 sorry for the confusion. I keep forgetting the only made the Sportsman MK in the 106 and not the 120.🤦‍♂️ Its just another version of the minnkota motor. Forget what I originally said. The weedless wedge will work in the 120 AutoPilot. 😁

[@austin5618]

@@CaseyReedFishing no worries man lol,thanks for the feed back I do appreciate it

[@chuckkjansen]

@@austin5618 what about reversing after passing thru the weeds.. can you clear them that way ?

[@markcameroon6613]

will she fit a Minn Kota® Powerdrive 55 lb. 54-Inch Trolling Motor

[@CaseyReedFishing]

They make a prop that will fit it. I don't think it's the same one I listed though.

[@ST4R1SM1NE]

Is this compatible with bird mapping? i-pilot Link?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

No, it's not I pilot link.

[@teamslaiyans3808]

Will this fit a MINKOTA POWERDRIVE V 2 ?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

The MPK-6 will fit the PowerDrive V2 40,42,and 45. johnsonoutdoors.widen.net/content/1gzcorp4ix/pdf/Prop-Selection-and-Replacement-Instructions.pdf

[@Adventures101.]

I wonder if putting it in reverse would have taken some of the build up off before you tried pulling it up

[@CaseyReedFishing]

This motor doesn't have a "reverse". The whole motor just turns. But it does help. I also will turn the motor on and off in bursts. Helps clear weeds.

[@Adventures101.]

Can I ask do you have a link for that cover

[@CaseyReedFishing]

FishUSA.rv5k.net/JyZM2 Try this.

[@Adventures101.]

@@CaseyReedFishing The link is for a 10-ft one I tried looking for a larger one they don't have any is that where you bought yours originally

[@CaseyReedFishing]

@@Adventures101. there should be a bigger one on there too. There should be a selection. Maybe they're sold out.

[@eugenegress5896]

CONFUSING....So apparently there was the " Original Weed Wedge " after Market Prop for Minkota Motors. Now I see Minkota Makes their own, also Called Weed Wedge. So Is the Original After Market Weed Wedge Mfg out of Business?? Is the Minkota Weed Wedge just as Good?

[@CaseyReedFishing]

I don't know the answer to that. I only know about the weedless Wedge prop made my minnkota

[@eugenegress5896]

@CaseyReedFishing Casey, Thanks for the reply. Well, I assume the Engineers at Minkota , examined the Geometry of " Weed Wedge, aftermarket", and Produced their own , effective version. Get out on the Water, and De Stress , and Rip some Lips this year. Keep your Powder Dry, Never give up your Guns, Rods, or PROP, LOL.
