THE VIEW OF A PRO: TROPHY GRAPHICS SYSTEMS COMPLEMENT YOUR TOURNAMENT GAME PLAN<\/em><\/p>\n In the fiercely competitive world of professional angling, mastery of high-tech electronics has become essential for success. These systems have always been vital to a seasoned angler’s tool set. Still, the advent of forward-facing sonar has elevated its importance in the realm of versatile bass fishing. Lateral imaging and advanced mapping techniques also play a crucial role in propelling anglers to the top of the leaderboard. The challenge lies in safely mounting the number of large displays on the sophisticated equipment used by these top-tier competitors.<\/p>\n Professional angler Trey McKinney uses Trophy Graph Systems’ excellent line of rigs on his tournament boat. Says McKinney, \u201cI currently use the Universal Dash Mount along with the Panoramic Gimbal Plate on the console with two 12-inch Lowrance Pros, and at the bow, I have the Low Dual Mount also with two 12-inch Lowrance Pros. I’m using the charts at the beginning by mapping on my bottom chart, and on the top, I’m using Active Target.” <\/p>\n When asked, McKinney explains how he was introduced to Trophy Graph systems. \u201cA couple of friends of mine, Charlie Ingram and Ray Brazier, from the University of Fisheries, introduced me to Trophy Graph Systems. I saw that they are super sharp and very resistant frames. They also offered an easy mount to mount to my boat.\u201d<\/p>\n The use of electronic devices to help find fish and the structure they are using is incredibly important, but another important key is also how the fish react to the bait presented to them. McKinney explained, \u201cAt Toledo Bend, I used a Strike King Pro Model 5XD crankbait while fishing in the 10 to 15 foot depth range. I had to make sure I could get the bait over them and then lower it down to their level. They really liked everything erratic, like burning through them, stopping it, twisting it, and then burning it again. Introducing this pattern was possible with my Lowrance Active Target.\u201d <\/p>\n
