This year, my Nitro Z21 XL/Mercury Bass Pro Shops boat arrived at my house sooner than ever before. That has given me an opportunity over the last month or so to really dial in every feature of the rig before the Bassmaster Elite Series begins.
I’ve made major gains with my electronics setup, which includes Humminbird, Garmin and Lowrance graphs. I’ve figured out the strengths of each brand and how to make the most of them.
