I fished out of 2 different warriors last week with them. Generally speaking, not very common, but as you know last week on LOW was extremely big water. The whackers helped big time from water coming in… If you are on LOW and fish in big water dayys,I was impressed them.
I’ve had them on every Warrior I’ve owned, including the last two 208s. I wouldn’t be without them, especially for the way I fish.
If you only troll forward, or don’t go out in the real rough stuff, there’s probably not a huge benefit. If you’re ever trying to back troll or hover with a Vantage, or it’s really hairy and you want to be able to fish on the back platform, they’re priceless.
