The "Stump Happens" Replacement Promise

Let’s be real—accidents happen on the water. You misjudge a stump, a rogue wave pushes you into the dock, or someone trips over your gear.  If you accidentally break a part on your First Mate XT, rest assured I have your back. Because I build these myself, I don't charge you massive markups for a simple replacement plastic bracket like the big brands do. I offer replacement components at incredibly fair, inexpensive prices to get you fixed up and back to fishing. I want to build a long-term relationship with my customers, not make a quick buck off your bad luck.

Real Anglers. Real Results.

I really love my First Mate XT and how it is connected to the foot pedal because I can see a fish in live scope and once I hook it I can use the foot pedal and I will start looking for more fish when I am reeling in the one I hooked it has been a huge game changer for me and my live scope.

I’ve been running the First Mate XT since the very beginning, and I swear by it. It is hands down the best addition I’ve made to my boat. The versatility is unmatched—I actually used a simple bike repair mount to rig mine up, and it holds rock solid. If you are looking for a motorized pole that just works, buy this.

I’ve tried manual poles, but the motorized control on the XT is on another level. Being able to tap a button and sweep the transducer while my hands are busy with the rod has put more fish on the ice for me this season. Smooth, quiet, and tough.
