Just ask Captain
John Oravec, In-Fishermans Great Lakes Consultant. "I
use the Sub-Troll 900 daily to read subsurface currents &
temperatures. You just set your boat speed for your lures optimal
speed and just start catching the fish".
 For a long time it's
been known that lure speed control plays a very important part
in downrigger fishing. That's why all fishing lures have an effective
speed range of operation. Many of us find a lure that will run
hot in one direction, and then it runs cold, no new hits. Why?
The lure is no longer operating within its effective speed range.
If just one lure is not operating at the proper speed, it can
effect ones that are operating at their effective speed. Trollers
should be aware, that not all water currents are over a large
area and just on the surface. Some water currents are small and
narrow far below the boat. For instance if your surface speed
reads 2 mph and your lures are in a facing current of 1.5 mph.
Your lure speed is only .5 mph. This wouldn't be an acceptable
speed if you were running a lure that was designed to work in
the 2-mph range.
Different species of game fish
prefer different temperature ranges. Your ability to find and
monitor these zones is the key to consistent fishing success.
Moor Electronics has solved this
problem, with the Sub-Troll 900 (ST-900). The ST-900 gives you
both speed and temperature where you need it most, at the lure.
Moor has engineered this system to install easily on any downrigger,
even while your boat is afloat.
This patented system allows you
to monitor the speed of the lure - not the speed of the boat.
You know immediately if under water currents are affecting the
lure's action. You also monitor changes in temperature right
where it's happening, at the lure.
The ST-900 consists of only three
interacting parts. The display readout, the antenna, and the
sending unit. The sending unit attaches to the downrigger cable
and transmits a signal to the antenna mounted on the downrigger
boom. From the antenna the signal is sent to the display through
a cable. There is no physical contact between the sending unit
and the display readout. The readout may be installed up to 25
feet from the downrigger.
The ST-900 is the only system
available that does not require transducers or grounding rods.
Because the ST-900 uses a radio signal for the transmission of
information, you eliminate bothersome problems associated with
sonar type systems. The 9-volt battery will last up to a full
season and, no interference with sonar or other electronics on
the boat. But most important, a constant reading on the display,
even in choppy lake conditions.
The ST-900 underwater sending
unit automatically turns its transmitter off when removed from
the water. This insures that the 9-volt battery will remain ready
for your next fishing trip. While trolling after dark, the ST-900
Illuminating displays make easy work of controlling the speed
and temperature. The ST-900 display requires 12 volts to operate.
