Having never seen one in the flesh, could someone explain how the rod tips get tangled? Any one have any close up photos of the bag/layout? It says it has dividers so I am a little curious as to what they mean by "dividers" and how the rod tips could get tangled up then. Thanks!

I have never had issue with tangled rods. I usually run 4 32" walleye rods in 1 of my Revolutions and in the other up to 8 panny rods. With the panny rods I use rod slicks or something like that. No issues at all. If you dont use rod slicks you need to get some. They are "Slick". Pun intended. grin

By the way I also have several of the premium bags and I can get 2 walleye sized combos or 3 panny sized combos in there nicely. I also have a huge premium bag that I sue for my BIG Laker combos and can get 2 in it.

I will contact the folks making these bags now and see if I cant get them to make a FishingMN/HSO order and put a FishingMN/HSO emblem on it.

Seems I lost their contact number does anyone have it? If so e-mail it to me please. I had their card from the ice show but must have tossed it after I got all my bags.

I guess I am still confused how the rod tips can get tangled in the first place with the "dividers". They get tangled with each other? Or are there only 4 compartments and 2 rods (one going each way) share a compartments?

The place I found them is:

Hycreek

101 S. Main Street

Ishpeming, MI 49849

phone: 866-459-4440

local: 906-486-4330

fax: 906-486-4353

Not sure if they are the manufacturers or not.

I came up with something simple to keep rods from getting tangled and it works slick.

I used 1 1/2 inch nylon strapping running diagonally, snugly, from one end to the other and 1 pop rivet on each end to secure. Drilled 2 small holes close each other in the middle of tray on the bottom. Using power pro line as thread tide the strapping down to keep it from rising.

Hopefully in the picture you can make out the strapping Black on black does not show to well. The blurriness don't help either grin

I like my older Revolution bags better than the new ones with the half tubes. The rod tips didnt get tangled in the old ones like they can the new ones.

Like I said before the rod sleeves will cure your tangle issues. Make sure to get the right length for certain rods and your golden.

The rod sleeves are great. This cost nothing as I had the strapping lying around and it works great with no tangle issues anymore. Well, I should say I had the tools to achieve this. Drill and bit, scissors,needle and power pro and a pop rivet gun with the appropriate rivet size still cheaper than a sleeve for an individual rod if bought to do this project,except the expense of the drill.

Ahhhh, I see how they could get tangled! With the strapping, can you fit 28" rods in it?
Yep anyrod that is the length of the tray will fit. Thats why one rivet at the top the eyelet of the rod will push the strap to the side.The rod on the left is a 32 inch St.Croix premier and the one right is a 24inch St.Croix legend. 2 32 inch side by side no poroblem

I didn't realize that they had changed the design until I received mine in the mail last week.

Not only were tangles less of a problem with the old design, but you could store multiple rods (more than 4) easier in the older model. I do like the padding that they inserted between the rod storage area and the accessories storage area. My old Revolution bag did not have the padding, and it helps defray worries about stuff in the accessories area (tackle, etc.) banging around on the rods/reels.

Definitely liked the old design better, but still happy to have tracked one down.

Now, if I could only track down a walleye smile .

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.

      I went ahead and watched some of the MLF coverage.  Wheeler didn’t make the cut but the bigger story was the Poche/Avera fallout.   Kinda funny listening to both sides of the story and putting together the scenario, reading between the lines.
