Thanks for watching 3-pound fishing partnered up with these fantastic companies. What's up folks? Good morning. I've got a surprise for you. I've been talking about it for a while. We're going to be fishing with the 86-16. I'm stoked about getting this guy on the boat. This will be the absolute first time I've ever fished with this guy. We're going to give it a try out. I don't know if I'll keep it on the boat permanently for right now. It is obviously something I wanted to get for the new boat. I said, you know what? The hookups are the same as the 86-12. So I don't have to change anything power wise. I just plug the old big boy in and we're going to give her a look. This will be the first look at the 86-16 for 3-pound fishing. Thanks for joining me. Please subscribe. It's going to be a great morning. It's a fall morning. It's cool. It's perfect. I love this. If you do choose to get an 86-16, one thing that is interesting is it doesn't come with a gimbal. It does not come with a knob. Make sure you order the gimbal. Make sure you order the knob separately. Then you get your beautiful 86-16. I'm going to put it together right here. We're going to see if this thing fires up. It really is just it's easy. It's three knobs. You've got your power and then your two networking cables right here. I have two because I'm sorry. Really just one prior for most people. I have two live scopes on the boat. So I don't know which one is which. So I plug them both in. So really easy. Now a lot of people ask me about my mounts. I use the folding mount from Cornfield Crype gear. They're awesome. Come on. I use the folding mount. It actually has a bridge on it so that will give it some stability. This boy is not light. So but I have faith in Cornfield Crype gear and their products and it'll support it. No problem whatsoever. I am going to adjust the height of it on the new boat for today's purposes. Well we're just fishing. In Valla. Now I'll tell you I got this at PTG. I paid for it. They're fantastic. I just believe in the upterge family and PTG. If I go if I'm going to get electronics I'm going to PTG. So you check them out for all your electronic needs. These guys right here these are kind of just for the edge. Finish off the look. These guys just snap in like this. Well we're just going to fish. That thing's massive. What I like about it already I can tell you that is the fact that I can actually I can use this mount with my trolling where I was really worried about the trolling motor hitting the side of it. It doesn't it doesn't. This gets a fish today. Oh baby. There's our first fish with the 8616. That is a dandy. That's a good fish. Woo. I'll tell you what folks. That's a hair jig from three pound fishing tackle. That is the darbone. There it is. First fish on the 8616. Now I can tell you right away. Because of its height it is kind of in my way. I don't feel comfortable like it needs to be lower probably about four inches to make it feel more comfortable. And that's the original plan. So I'm going to take a trip to Cornfield Crock-Baguerre. Again check out their mounts. I think the position is awesome. It just needs to be lowered a little bit. So if I want a vertical jig I feel like I might hit the screen. So but it's cool to see it. I mean the picture is awesome. I mean that's straight out of the box. I haven't touched anything. I got I got it on some on 70. I mean that's the great thing about life scope right. I mean it's literally out of the box. You can you can fire it up and use it. So. Oh man what a great. I just love fishing in the fall. It doesn't get you better. And now with this 8612 let me give you a look at it. A real close up look at it again. I hit one of those knobs that were kind of off. And I want to make sure that people see exactly what I'm seeing here. Check that out man. That is like I'm not you know I'm not fishing a structure here that has a ton of fish on it. Not that we get the point across but look how beautiful that is. That is a huge screen. They ain't cheap. I can tell you that. But check out PTG man. They're going to treat you good. They're going to stand by their products and that's why I buy my stuff from PTG. I think what will be interesting is going to be whether or not it drains power quicker because of the size of the screen. Well that make a difference. But I mean I have those lithium batteries. I'm getting hammered. I got those lithium batteries from amp down doors so I still feel very comfortable but you know I'm just kind of curious to what happens. No big big ones yet but some fish. No just getting started. Back you same to you. That's a good fish. Oh yeah. That's a good fish there man. That's our bonus hot. Look at that. That is a slab right there folks. That is a slab. Beautiful. Black croppy. Wow. All right so let's talk a monitor just real quick before we get to our next spot. I recommend actually the 126SV to everybody because I don't know if there's actually that much of a difference in pitch for quality. I don't think the 126SV that comes in at 15 or 16 is screen but I can tell you that the quality of the screen is pretty darn close and I know it's a significantly price increase between the 8600 series and the 126SV. So why didn't I get the 126SV? Hey I wanted a bigger screen and two as I want to be able to video my catches using the active captain map. So it's important for me as a YouTuber and I don't know if it's important for a lot of people. So if I wasn't I think a 12 inch 126SV is the absolute ticket. I rarely use maps but I did go ahead and get the maps version of the 8616. I wanted to you know when I do go to a lake that I don't know I usually do utilize the maps on the Garmin. So we use it a lot during Garbon. Oh my gosh. Fits is a fish on the first cast. Definitely a big fish. I'm telling you sometimes you know when you pass up sorry when you pass up your primary target you're looking for a secondary target to drop on and that's how we got this guy right here. That's a solid fish. I don't think until I get my the correct map for this I don't think I'll have it on my guide list. All of the 8612 just because I really I really do believe it's a little high and I'm a little skeptical myself whether I'm going to hit it or not or I'm a little worried. You know one of the things that people talk about a lot is a transducer placement. I choose to put it on the trolling motor because it's free and I think you can be a little bit more active with it on your trolling motor. You can really follow fish around big time. But I think to each his own to be honest with you but I always say that this is free. Try it on your trolling motor if you don't then you can purchase a pole or make a pole that type of thing. But a lot of top anglers have it on the trolling motor because you can maneuver quickly around and follow a fish and you're not having to worry about some separate item on you though. That's the thought process anyway. Not to say that having it on a pole or a separate mount isn't a great option. I mean Elliott Tomlinson at Real Foot check out his guide service Wicked Coot at Real Foot. You know he does great with a separate device and I think it really fits well there at Real Foot. Oh my gosh. I didn't even have to get the ground. So today I'm fishing with a combination of hair jigs and everything for three pound fishing. Folks I'm going to freeze it right there. We have a new jig that just came out. It is incredible. Offered in five different colors two different sizes one sixteenth and one thirty second. You check them out at three pound fishing dot com which by the way is redesigned completely. So check it out at three pound fishing dot com. You're going to love these new jigs. I'm not joking when I say they are the best jigs on the market. Tackle you can check it out. This is the gum drop. It's working great. I used the zombie today the darbone. The hair jigs are working fantastic today. You love those jigheads those new jigs that we just came out with or phenomenal check them out. I'm not no joke. I'm using those for my swim bait. There we go. Folks that's going to end it for me. 86-16 check them out at PTG. Cornfield Cropigier another great company that relates to dive scope. I'll tell you right now. Very impressed. Very impressed. Very excited. Can't wait to get a new mount to back it off a little bit but otherwise. Well worth it. Thanks for watching three pound fishing partnered up with these fantastic companies.
