March 1st and 2nd, plan ahead for this one
Charlie and Travis Bunting will partially mock up a new Ranger RT178C aluminum boat for trolling and rigging. It's at Cabelas' Great Outdoor Days that weekend in Kansas City, Kansas. Plan is to have it in the showroom for one-on-one exchanges or small group chats in addition to their regularly scheduled seminars at 2 pm Saturday and 10 am Sunday. But the rest of the time the focus will be them face-to-face with anyone that wants to see how best to use any specific part or the entire package. Talk to them about Tite-Loc systems, Porcupine Attractors, Hummingbird Electronics, Power Pole anchoring systems, B&M rods, Southern Pro baits, Minn Kota trolling motors and Engel coolers / fish management systems as well as their Mercury outboard and Ranger Z521C. If there's things you'd like to see discussed post it here and we'll relay it to them before the event. We want to make this one of the best "Nuts and Bolts" information exchanges possible. Single poling, long lining, cranks or any other variety one can imagine is fair game. Last i heard they will run HB 1199's this year, not sure if they will have info on the new Onix and 360 systems but I'm guessing they will be up to speed as much as anyone. The goal is to engage not just talk, that's what we hope to accomplish and these two guys, like others here recently (thanks Kevin), are good with spilling it all, they don't hold anything back. Their new Ranger is nip and tuck if it will get done in time to be there, the weather is kicking our fannies on production times, but hopefully that to look through and inspect as well. Looking forward to a fun weekend, man am I ready to talk fishing instead of weather.
