Johnson Outdoors, owners of
Minn Kota and
Humminbird, and Wired2Fish pro Brent Ehrler joined forces on trolling motors, shallow anchoring systems and depth finders for 2011.
"I have had numerous Minn Kota trolling motors the last four years," Ehrler said. "I have had eight Minn Kota trolling motors and have never had a single problem with them. They are just as strong the last day I use them as they were the first day you get them.
"I am excited about running two of the new Talon anchoring systems on my new
Ranger Z521. Two Talons allow me to anchor in one position versus spinning on a pivot point with only one. This should give me a competitive advantage.
"This is my first time using Humminbirds. I will be using the 1198 units on my boat this year, both bow and stern. I have a big flat screen TV at home and am able to catch up on all of my favorite programs in the off-season, and with the 1198s, I will now have a big screen in my boat as well."
Ehrler will be fishing the FLW Tour, 10 Tournaments, and will try to fit in others as available. Brent has been a pro for 10 years now.
