[VIDEO] Multi-Species Mission with the Garmin Force Pro

In this multi-species fishing session, Wired2fish’s Will Stanley demonstrates the power and versatility of the Garmin Force Pro trolling motor while targeting both bass and walleye on a northern body of water. The early-summer bite offers an ideal testing ground for combining boat control with high-efficiency techniques.

Reverse Mode on the Garmin Force Pro

Stanley highlights how the Garmin Force Pro’s reverse mode improves positioning and lure presentation in shallow water. He uses the foot pedal’s reverse function to slow down, reposition quietly, and extend the time his bait stays in the strike zone. This approach proves especially effective when fishing near the boat or tight to cover.

Advanced Garmin Force Pro Features

Beyond reverse mode, the Garmin Force Pro delivers top-tier performance through its high thrust, responsive steering, and anchoring. Stanley takes full advantage of the motor’s power to cover water quickly when targeting isolated vegetation patches. The motor’s ultra-quiet operation keeps fish undisturbed while navigating shallows.

Swim Jig Setup for Early Summer Bass

Stanley transitions to targeting largemouth bass using a swim jig, covering scattered lily pad patches where fish are beginning to stage. His gear setup includes a sensitive rod, high-speed reel, and 40-pound braid, which provides cutting power through cover while maintaining casting accuracy. The swim jig proves productive throughout the day without requiring changes to bait or presentation.
