I used them in a snag-prone area on the Missouri River for a tournament. The weights were too light so I used 2 and 3 ounce sinkers that I had cast. I tied them on with loops of light line so if I got snagged, I just lost the sinker and the rest of the rig was okay. I used them for spinner rigs and to get floating raps down to the bottom. When we were turning the boat and the lines went slack, they didn't tip over and snag like the regular bottom bouncers did. I've also used them when shore fishing below a dam. They keep your lure up off the bottom and again, if they snag, you only lose the sinker.

The foam walkers by Today's Tackle are the only way to go when you are rigging. Like mentioned above, they are very durable and do an excellent job at keeping your floater off the bottom. It is nice to be able to adjust the string on your line to adjust your floater height without retieing. An excellent product and a must have! grin.gif

I've done really well with the Foam Walkers. The float system incorporated into these rigs is very nice for several different conditions. Rocks, weeds, wood... it doesn't matter. It's designed to almost bounce your weight off the bottom without making a whole lot of contact, perfect for snag-choked areas.

I use them for spinner and float rigging, as well as some situations for trolling cranks. Easy to operate and can be snapped on and off your line if you want to change weights or go without.

I've experienced a lot less snags with the Foam Walkers than I have with any other weight system. And if you do snag up, the foam portion can be easily broken/ripped in order to save you rig. A great product in my opinion...

To Duluth it shouldn't take more than a couple of days. Did you order directly from Today's Tackle? If so Bruce usually sends them priority and they're there in 3 days or less!

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
