can tell me the pro's and con's ? I have the sportbrella but need something that will cover more of my boat. Anyone got any suggestion on where to buy ?
Thanks

I have one but don't use it much when fishing. If I'm fishing cranks,I bring the fish in the back of the boat and I have to pass the rod around all the poles that hold the top, a real pain. I can't seem to bring the fish up the side with 4 poles without tangling. If I am spyder rigging, the top doesn't come far enough forward to do any good. I have 2 sportbrellas. If we are just cruising around, you can't beat it. I do use it all the time on the pontoon.
Bimini top is only good for Cranks. It doesn't help for Spider rigging
Have you tried the 9 ft sportsbrella? I considered a bimini, but seemed to have more cons than pros . We set up 2 sportsbrellas . They just seem more versatile than a top, and easier to land fish with long poles.
Look at Amazon. I got a great deal on one thru Amazon Warehouse Deals. It was returned by someone. I got about $30 off. It worked great for me, the dog and Grandkids.
Saw Walmart was selling sportbrellas last weekend so might find one near home
Boatcoversdirect.com is a local owned business in SC. They are super to work with. They will send you samples of materials and colors so you know what you are getting. You can build your own via their website or call and one of the sweet southern ladies will walk you through getting exactly what you want.
They are somewhat of a pain, but, I could not fish without it. I use a umbrella to.
This one is from boatcoversdirect too... Very well built, and they have all sorts of discounts which can save you some real money... It does well for trolling, but you cannot run your boat fast with it up... 20 mph limit... Nice when it rains!
I have the same problem as described above, with feeding rods up the sides, but it is workable, and getting out of the heat means fishing more hours..
That's a trade off that is worth a little hassle...

I think mine came from there too and I run mine all the time at 40 mph but mine is not as tall as yours. That may be the difference.Quote:
