If you’ve still not made the leap into the world of trolling motors just yet, you might want to consider the Force Kraken trolling motor from Garmin, engineered with a longer shaft for boats with high freeboards and a pivot-style mount for easy installation in vessels where bow space is limited. The Fisherman had a chance to speak with Garmin’s John Spiddle about the release of the Kraken and the new 48-inch shaft length. Plus, we’ll also look ahead to winter ice fishing and live sonar from Livescope and Panoptix 3D with Garmin’s Danny Thompson, with a special focus on the Panoptix PS22 Ice Fishing Bundle available now.
