Crews Weighs In On Trolling Motors |
|
Bassmaster Elite Series pro John Crews is known for hitting the gym and lifting a few weights on occasion. Crews recently broke out the scale and lifted a couple of trolling motors instead to get an accurate accounting of the weight of each unit. Crews compared the weight of the Lowrance Ghost and Power Pole MOVE. The Lowrance Ghost checked in at roughly 66.8 lbs, while the Power Pole MOVE tipped the scales at around 57 lbs. According to manufacturers specs the Garmin FORCE weighs 66 lbs and the Minn Kota Ultrex weighs 77 lbs. The new Minn Kota QUEST is constructed of carbon fiber, which should make it a lighter motor than the ULTREX, although specific details about the actual weight are not yet available. |

The SPRO Sashimmy Swimmer was engineered in collaboration with Elite Series pro angler Bryan New and boasts three joints with four hard plastic sections that make up the body. This third joint, which stands out from similar baits, produces the extra swimming action. The triple jointed design creates a distinct "S" swimming action when retrieved. It is designed for anglers targeting schooling fish, particularly on herring lakes, and boasts a long casting range with perfect swimming on rapid retrieves. It comes with #4 round bend, black nickel Gamakatsu trebles for superior hook penetration. Check out the full lineup here.

If you are a long term follower of the Bassmaster Elite Series the name Chip Porche might sound familiar to you. Porche competed on the Elite Series in 2013 after qualifying through the Bassmaster Central Opens in 2012. A founding member of the University Of Oklahoma college bass fishing team, Chip hung up competing at the highest level after the 2013 season, but his story in the fishing industry was really just getting started. While competing at the highest level of competitive bass fishing Porche was also carving out his niche in the industry, working as an account manager and event coordinator for Dynamic Sponsorships. Currently in his 13th year with Dynamic, Porche is heavily involved with Yamaha, helping to manage their Power Pay Program, scheduling the demo rides all across the country, as well as helping to plan and execute their trade show booths. Porche is a great example of following your passion and turning it into a career in the process. "I know I am super fortunate to have a career that revolves around bass fishing, and I never take that for granted. Each situation is different, but you have to go where doors open and my path led me to a job in the industry versus continuing to pursue a competitive fishing career," said Porche. With a limited number of opportunities and resources available to fish professionally, pursuing a career in the fishing industry might just be a more viable option for some. "Everyone's story is going to be unique but my advice to anyone looking to get into the industry in any capacity is to broaden your tool belt and embrace everything you can learn about every aspect of the industry. Whether you want to fish, get into marketing, or become a Yamaha Engine technician just soak up as much knowledge as you can and you can find an opportunity in this industry if you want it badly enough." Porche concluded.
