- Today's Buyer's Guide is all about your boat! If you've ever owned a boat you know the incredible expense that comes with it. Boats are great but they aren't cheap! Between fuel, maintenance, and all the fun accessories we add to them, its easy to go broke while rigging a boat. Today we're showing you our top electronics, tools, and equipment that we use when we're out on the water.
We get constant requests for videos about electronics, boat maintenance, trailer maintenance, etc. If you've ever wondered what electronics we're using, or what tools you should carry when you head down the road, or perhaps which life jacket we wear, today your questions are being answered. We're wrapping up our Spring Buyer's Guide Series with a bang and we hope you enjoy it!
Below you'll find links to the exact gear and equipment discussed in the video. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.

One thing I always carry on my boat is a good rechargeable flashlight. You never know when you might need it. I also have one of those cheap tool kits in the zipper case that has pretty much everything I need. It's just smart to play it smart.
I always enjoy the buyers guides, even if I can't afford the stuff (which is most of the time). Keep doing them.
Great series guys! It’s really helpful to hear the “why” behind the items you use one your boats. Thanks for going all out to help the rest of us. “We appreciate ya!” 😁
Truly an incredible video, thank you guys for sharing all your knowledge!
what a great way to to start the morning..!!!
Great series guys tons of useful information. Thanks for all you guys do.
Great stuff
Good Luck finding HB products
After seeing your video on the sun gear I immediately went and bought more specific sun gear for my hands and face. I also plan on using it at my sons baseball games as we spend a lot of time sitting in the sun on concrete getting that reflected sun glare. Great informational series.
Way to go Robert! It's going to make a huge difference!
You guys continue to hit it out of the park every freakin video....ya'll do such a great job, it is very much appreciated!!!!! I'd like to see the live scope and similar products come down in price some so that some of us not so rich people can get into it. Have you guys ever done a electronics give away? That's probably the only way I'd get one of these units, but you need good luck for that too....so there's that....LOL....love you guys....mean it!!!!
Thanks for the video
Who wants to see our favorite duo here do a spring fishing trip giveaway with both of them in the boat? Man the knowledge you’d be surrounded by. 😳
One at a time please my man!! I’d explode:-)
Plus then two TB family members win🎉🎉
That would be such an amazing time!!
Everyone like this so they see it.
🤦🏻♂️ they give you the knowledge you need to go out on your own…. You don’t need a “free” trip to “gain knowledge”. Just fyi. It ain’t free cause someone’s gotta pay for something. If you listen to their videos. It’s already there. I’ve been following these cats since they were at 29,000 subs. Back when “fishing a hud” was actually hard. Since then they’ve come out with videos where fishing a hud is actually “easy”. They can teach you anything you want to know. Just adhere to the content. Since 2016. I’ve bought a boat. Ridiculous equipment. Spend countless hours in video time and on water time to learn. Put the time in. You don’t need a guided trip to steal a guides spots or just be around knowledge. You’ve already got the knowledge.
Humminbird can’t get any products out on the market, I think they closed up shop, while Garmin is jumping ahead again Humminbird is spinning it’s wheels, wish I would have known this before jumping in on HB a few years ago.
DD26 is the best transom saver. Really like mine. 👍
Can you use your spot lock as an “anchor”??
I just have a 17ft Bass Tracker, but as long as the wind isn’t howling, Spot Lock usually keeps me pretty close to where I want to be…..maybe not where I need to be, but at least where I want it. Lol
Yes, it works perfectly in most situations. Examples when it doesnt... you want to face down wind or cross wind, or you're shallow and the motor is stirring up the bottom.
@@tacticalbassin Ahh man, that’s why I love you guys! Best info out there!!
For me, the talons and raptors are impossible to use because my fishing partner is my wife. It would get in her way and she would absolutely hate it. She’s handicap and can’t get up in the front of the boat. I love my helix hummingbird because it hooks directly to my Minnkota Terrova trolling motor. It’s only a 2D version but it has the best image of 2D that I’ve ever seen in the unit! I have the Garmin UHD echo map for my main Consol and it’s touchscreen and you’re right, touchscreen is the way to go!
Question: have you found that the Apex gives more detail and Target separation than Solix when running either MEGA 360 or MEGA Live???
I have a solix unit on the bow and planning to add a second unit. Really would like Apex but there are a little bit more pricey, so I would appreciate any advice you can give me. I'm older now that so the clear the picture the better for me. Thanks fellas. Great video as always.
Good luck finding any of these items.
How great is it to have both you on the same video #SOMUCHMORE
do you have to run a certain graph to run the mega live imaging transducer for it to work? meaning between solix helix or apex? awesome videos like always guys
No, they'll all run it 👍🏼
Man, no Garmin love.
So when a person is older than your father, which is best? Mega Live with Apex or Mega Live with Solex? Or Whatever?
Yes, I would like to know that too! This comes from an old man also
Matt are you guiding on chick this year?!
Why not power poles vs talons???
if apex is all that, and you can obviously afford it,,,, why isn't apex the only model on your boat ?????
I am thinking about a solix 15 on my console $3,600,,,
is the apex 16 at $4,700 actually worth the extra $1,100
What would be the best budget electronic for a Jon boat fishing small lakes?
budget meaning under $1k ? plenty of choices.
Hi guys! Forward facing sonar - which do you start with - 360 or Megalive?..
If you are looking for structure, you want Mega 360. If you are wanting to target a specific group of fish, Mega Live is better. In reality you want both on the front of your boat. Mega for finding structure and Live for targeting and fishing specific schools of fish. Live picks up school detail better than 360. Think of Mega Live as your underwater camera. You can see the school in detail but you cannot see around structure. Mega 360 helps you to see fish hiding behind structure like stumps for example but not in detail like Live. They are 2 different tools with 2 different roles.
You guys said you could do a 45 minute video on the graphs, just not this video. That video would be very helpful.
Great work as usual gentlemen! Your videos have made a huge difference in the amount of fish that I have landed! I have one request, how about a kayak buyers guide with various accessories, gear and storage options. Thanks for the consideration and keep up the good work!
Since you both have started kayak fishing how about a video similar to this one for the kayaks?
Matt, in your toolbox you said you have multiple phillips and regular screw drivers, they can all be replaced with one good quality 6in1 screwdriver, they have 2 sizes of phillips, 2 sizes of regular, and 2 sizes of nut drivers, that fit most hose clamps
Yep, that would replace them all. I'm going to grab one for my little aluminum where weight reduction is a huge concern. Thanks!
Anyone know any good small fish finders for kayaks?
Thank you Matt and Tim,this series was a ton of work and we greatly appreciated it ❤️👊
Great video y'all. Something that I always carry is a lithium jump starter like a Weego. They are not terribly expensive &, if needed will absolutely save the day.
This series was great. Sharing your experience with the various products elated to fishing provides insight on what we might want to purchase. Thanks
Awesome video guys. Good information for every boater and fisherman!
Absolutely love these video series! These are awesome reference tools. Great job again guys.👏 Thanks, keep them coming.
This is honestly probably the most informative video y'all have ever done!!!
😭
Not even close.
I learned a long time ago that BOAT stands for "bet on another thousand" its just part if it.
Compared to say maybe a house or vehicle that you NEVER put money into?
I dont think this specific video had a damn thing to do with a HOUSE or a CAR did it sleepy joe? Dont waste my time cause you want to argue with somebody
Great job, you two! I learned a lot!
Honestly, ordered a new Phoenix… wanted hummingbird, but didn’t understand their marketing/u it designation. I understand
Di, images, si, side imaging.
But when you go too purchase you dont know what unit you need on a limited budget to do both; then you want to add live. Do you need separate units? One for down and another for live?
Hummingbird marketing, unit selection, just down right confusing for newbie’s.
I have an older (2008) boat with no place for pliers, scissors, etc. I found one add on at Tackle Warehouse that looks really great buy is $100. Seems excessive for a tool holder. Any suggestions?
AWESOME! Thanks, great content and fun besides. GodBless.
Matt the beard is look THICK!
Edit: I can’t afford any of these.
Motor toter was the word y'all was looking for!!!!! 👌
Hey i know you guys are mainly boat or bank but it would be cool to see you guys try a kayak it would get a whole different group to your channel since kayak angling is growing and they are having tournaments more and more i think it would be worth it for yall and kayak anglers because of the way yall dissect stuff
We actually kayak a bunch! Search "Tacticalbassin kayak" and see what comes up from the last few years. 👍🏼We love it!
@@tacticalbassin Yes, I really enjoyed the ones where you are in small little creeks. Awesome!
gunna wait till lowrance comes out with a mega transducer
Hey guys any idea when the tacticalbassin hats will be back in stock ?
Helix 12s are sold out everywhere I look 😭
Loved this series!
Cut the hook? Do you guys not know the loop and tug method?
One note to add about the inflatable pfd. If you’re not physically wearing it, at least in Georgia, it does not count as a pfd according to the game warden. You have to be wearing it to count. The traditional foam lifejackets do count whether you’re wearing them or not.
100% correct. Thanks for emphasizing this!
Thanks so much for the video. Lots of great information. By the way I am looking to buy the Helix 7 Mega SI does this also have side imageing
Yes, the "SI" on that unit stands for side imaging. You're good to go 👍🏼
mega live video coming soon?
Must be nice 🤣🤣🤣
My fishing partner always refer to power poles or raptors as the 2 forks on the back of the boat 😆
breaker bar, impact wrench, 4 ton bottle jack
Great additions. We carry things like this in the truck rather than the boat due to weight. If you run a dual axle trailer like we do, you might find the Campo Trailer Aid Plus a huge advantage over a bottle jack 👍🏼
I'm looking at solix10 & mega 360 for my kayak. with my PA12 the 10" screen would b perfect size plus I can't afford the 12" model along with mega 360. my question is, does the solix 10&12 have same processor's, is the 10 run same speed as 12"? I've heard couple guys say the solix 10 is really slow? idk if that's true or if they were just not hummingbird fans?? I definitely want the hummingbird over other brands but my budget doesn't allow for 12 " & that little big for my rigg too
Wish I could afford any one of those fish finders lol... Anyone know why I cant get a clear image on my SI/DI Helix 7 G2N. I've watched a bunch of videos and used the recommended settings and tried adjusting the sonar unit and I still cant make out anything on it clearly.
I’m with Offgrid Whitetails-Spring time fishing trip so that we can see all these awesome “TOOLS” in action!!!! Great video and info. Thanks
Thanks so much for the informative series guys proving, y'all are heads above the competition. We appreciate your knowledge.
I truly cannot thank the both of you for the wealth of knowledge you have bestowed upon me!!! Absolutely love the small details and passion for the work you both do!!! Love it keep it up guys!
just put the boat in gear the prop can't spin any more. I also carry a small jump pack, tow rope, extra cull tags, trolling motor and outboard props, fuses, extra life jacket, and most importantly smokes, snacks, and drinks lol
Which lithium batteries do you run?
Hennessey Outdoors 120 AH Lithiums
Nice. I thought this was great. Really good mix up. Thank you for sharing.
What is the best down imaging and side imaging with 360 imaging units to use for freshwater fishing in y'alls opinion I dropping soft plastic baits into sparse hydrila holes
When I hit the lottery I'm gonna book a year straight of guide trips with u guys...just to make sure to cover all 4 seasons 🤑
Great video guys. Always learning so much.
Soooooo, when are these electronics videos to be expected??? Asking for a friend
Thanks for all the great info all week…. Matt…saw something about a new boat ???
Dam boys that’s a ton of goodies
Good stuff
Great job! I wondered what the difference was between Talons and Raptors was. I also love the Humminbird units. I went with Helix but wish I had chose Solex, oh well’ not changing g now. Keep ‘em coming guys!!
Don't know if they covered the difference but the Talon has everything contained in the Talon. There is no remote hydraulic reservoir. The Talon also deploys straight down. The Talon is good when you do not have a ton of extra space in your boat. All they need is a battery. Raptors are hydraulic. They have a remote hydraulic reservoir and hydraulic lines running from the reservoir to the Raptor. Raptors deploy like Power poles. They deploy out then the spike deploys down. If you like fishing of the back of the boat, the Talons are the way to go. But if you have the extra room for a battery and hydraulic reservoir, I like the raptors. But they make fishing of the back of the boat a bit of a pain.
What is the point of the talons when you have a trolling motor with spot lock?
There are two times that it really matters. When you want to face any direction besides into the wind or current, and when you're in shallow water and don't want to continuously make noise or stir up the bottom.
