| Post subject: | Older Gator Tail and question on rig |
I hunt hard dirt bottom. Anywhere from 4 foot or more, to as little as 6 inches. No problem with an outboard in the deeper depths, but LOTS of weeds/grasses in the middle depths, to shallows make an outboard frustrating. No mud, to speak of...at least not the "boggy" type mud I see on videos. I'm looking at purchasing a complete rig. A 1648 rig, with a older (could be first generation maybe?) 23 hp Gatortail. It appears to be a flat bottom (no mod v front) jon boat. Keeping in mind my environment of vegetation mostly, is the rig suitable? Also, any issues with the first Gator tails? This seems to be an older model. Thanks! |

A longtail is generally better on hard ground. But if you don't stop in a sd and keep your momentum going you will be fine on hard bottom. But lt doesn't do AS good as a sd in the grass. I run some hard bottom areas and does decent but you can't stop and try to get back up on step. Sent from my beeper. |

I run mostly sand and boulders, very little mud and lots of grass. SD= don't stop in shallow water, if you do be prepared to walk boat to deeper water. |
