I bought a small trolling motor to add a splasher to my boat. Looks like there are a couple different splasher propeller options out there. Which splasher props do you use? Does anyone have a strong opinion to buy one over the other? Here are the two I see out there to buy: 1. https://my-site-103001.square.site/2. https://graylinebaittanks.com/products/fishing-supplies/Are there any others that any of you use that you recommend?

I use #1 and run it in the reverse mode on my trolling motor. It works as well as any splasher I have seen. It is very effective at pulling in fish.

So you are running it where the cups on the prop are going the wrong way? I noticed on a youtube video someone else was doing that too with that same prop...think that was Boone Boys (guy up in Oklahoma). Do you run it that to make it quieter?

I have used #1 style prop for at least 4 years. They work really well. I also run mine in reverse and it still calls the fish in just as well. The reason I run it in reverse is because the cups going backwards put less work on the trolling motor itself and that allows my battery charge to last longer

T Bird, I can fish all day from daylight until 7.00pm and my deep cycle blue top optima when in the forward position, the charge life left in it is around 10%. When I run it in reverse, the charge life left in it is 40%, plus in reverse the prop doesn’t throw up water on the boat like it does in the forward position.

I also have longer battery life and less water in the back of the boat.
