    Maybe the most polished salesman on the tour. Well done and well explained. I remember when the carbon paper graphs came out and my fathers ranger had Hummingbird flashers front and console with the Lawrance Graph at the console. Man things have changed.Good lick Mr KVD!

    @MSNINDY53 6 лет назад

    Awesome set up. Looking forward to hearing you speak in Indianapolis on the 16th. Something I've done with my Talons for while I'm towing is I have two 6"x6"x1" pieces of composite decking material each with a 3/4" hole recessed in the material about 1/2". I place these under the support pole while the Talons are laying flat on the deck during towing. This distributes the weight of the Talon and the stress to the deck while there may be bounce during towing. The storage covers where my Talon support rods rest are both aluminum and aluminum does not handle stress fatigue very well without eventually cracking. Distribute the weight of the Talon while towing over those 2 6"x6" pads as opposed to just the 3/4" footprint of the support rod.

    @TheWVgoodguy22 6 лет назад

    Grats on the new shop it definitely isn't a finish product, but will help with you getting ready for each tourney and has plenty of space for filming videos such as this. I would say that I am surprised that you don't have some rod racks for all or most of your main rods, but you probably store them in the boat anyway. I really like that boat and finally got to see one up close at a BP in North Carolina and it was black and red, and I said, "Well it has KVD colors on it, which is sweet" and for 53-55k that is a bargain in the bass boat world especially vs a Ranger. I definitely like the Mossy Oak Illusions wrap, very slick indeed. I am glad that you finally switched to Minn Kota so you can have all that connectivity from the Johnson Outdoors Products, the Ultrex is a game changer for sure. Good luck this season Kevin.

  • @zrayray3054
    @zrayray3054 6 лет назад +1

    good for you to make the switch the minn kota, I am sure it wasn't easy to break a business relationship. It was easy to see this past year on the 1000 islands tourny, as you struggled with your motor guide well others were spot locked.

    @mdbassin9120 6 лет назад +2

    That ULTREX was just too good to not be running. Motor Guide has a lot of work to do because that ULTREX is leaps and bounds ahead. KVD has been a MG fan for a long time and you know it had to be a game changer if he decided to switch. I would much rather have spot lock than a power pole. Poles are only good in shallow water. KVD is an offshore specialist and that spot lock is gonna help him stay on those schools of small mouth. Love to watch KVD fish off shore. He is the best ever to do it.

    • @antoniosatriani3741
      @antoniosatriani3741 6 лет назад

      I agree, the price of one Power Pole, or one Talon for that matter, would easily cover the cost of the Ultrex and you're done!
