re: DIY livescope pole ideas?

Mount it to the troll motor. Lots of new Livescopers mount the transducer to a pole, then realize the troll motor is the only way to go. We put the long poles up years ago and mainly cast with 7 ft. rods. We once had an old troll motor we gutted and mounted transducer to the pole with no foot, still sucked. We made a PVC pole at first when Livescope first came out, sucked. Too much going on, rod in one hand, pole in other hand, trying to keep the bait and fish together, just hard to do with a pole. But we dont fish a lot of tops, we move fast chasing roamers, then drop the paddles and put on the brakes, and cast out 25 to 30 ft. You have to constantly sweep the transducer back and forth all day, never stopping, tough to do on a pole
