Timely video! Just got my trolling motor and got this prop to put on it. I will be using it on the bow transom. Glad to see it works well. My lakes have mostly light weeds so this should work perfectly for me.
That's great Mark. I was actually surprised at the difference. Moves the boat faster in open water too so that's a bonus. Good luck with your new motor. Have a great season. Fish on!
Although I'm disappointed also in the performance of the prop in reverse. It's truly amazing how it chopped it's way through all those weeds. Very impressive if I say so myself. Are you going to spin around the handle of your trolling motors now? So you can continue driving your boat in the direction you're comfortable with.
It's good to see a $20 investment works to an 85% satisfaction. I know I was impressed with how well it did in the SWAMP! When I had my 55lb thrust Kota in a medium weed lake, the motor quit working because I had weeds all tangled up inside the prop area. (I wish I had the weedless wedge) So I say yes to the "WEEDLESS WEDGE". Thanks for sharing..... Fish on!!!
No question the $20 was worth it. Hope fishing is going well for you in Retirement. Pretty slow for me for May and June. Not enough caught on any given trip to make a decent video. Thanks for watching DT. Fish on!
Do you think the weed wedge would do as good “pulling” forward as opposed to “pushing” forward? I reversed my head and put trolling motor on front of bass raider. Also is the weed wedge as bad in open water as it is in weeds when in reverse?
I may switch the head around on my 50lb Motor and then depending on where I'm fishing, select the motor accordingly. On the open water, reverse actually does really well on the Weed Wedge. Thanks for watching and the comment. Fish on!
I know my question is just looking for an (your) opinion at the moment. I switched my head unit on minn kota 55 so that I can mount it on front of bass raider and use it in “forward” operation. So my prop is “under” the boat when on front and I’m using forward operation of motor. With the prop/motor on front and prop “under” boat “pulling/pushing”” the boat across lake do you “think” it would still be as good for weedless operation with motor operating in forward mode? I use a rudder on back (until I get gas motor) to minimize side to side drifting of boat.
I'm not sure. I don't like fishing out the front since I don't have a rudder either. Some guys think I'm nuts for fishing out the back. Guess just used to it.

I can't decide. I might switch my 50 lb motor and sort of mix and match depending on where fishing. Thanks for watching Jett. Go catch em!
