For example: You can set a program to vary the boat’s speed from 10% to 20% throttle in
3% steps with the boat maintaining each throttle speed for one minute. For this program,
the throttle will behave as follows:
10% - 13% - 16% - 19% - 20% - 17% - 14% - 11% - 10% . . . . repeat.
iTroll’s Hunt Mode is the most efficient way to determine what baits and speeds are the most
productive to fish. If you look at the speed program in the previous paragraph, there are eight speed
combinations. If there are 4 different baits being trolled, Hunt Mode will allow you to make 32 bait
/ speed presentations (4 baits X 8 speeds) to the fish every 8 minutes!
This is the information displayed on iTroll’s screen when in Hunt Mode:
The top line of iTroll’s display shows the Hunt Program that is being run.
A Hunt program contains
four programmable parameters:
P1
= “MinSpeed” (Lowest throttle setting of the Hunt program)
P2
= “MaxSpeed” (Highest throttle setting of the Hunt program)
P3
= “Throttle Step Size” (Size of steps is from 1 - 10%)
P4
= “Step Time” (Minutes between steps from 1 - 20)
The bottom line of iTroll’s display shows where you are in the Hunt Program:
C
= Current throttle setting
D
= Direction of next step (Up or Down)
T
= Time remaining until throttle step occurs
Tips from iTroll’s designer on mastering the ULTIMATE power of Hunt Mode:
• Make your Hunt programs stop at different speeds on the way up than on the way
down for MAXIMUM speed variety! Subtract your MinSpeed setting from your MaxSpeed
setting. If the difference is an EVEN number, use ODD steps and vice - versa. See
blue
text
above for an example.
• When Hunt finds a speed that the fish prefer (let’s use 18% as an example), DON’T go
to manual throttle and static troll at 18%! Reprogram your Hunt parameters to bracket
18% so when the fish’s speed preference changes (it always will), you will notice the
pattern where strikes occur and can simply re-bracket your Hunt parameters up or down
accordingly! A sample program that brackets 18% might be (15-20%, 2%, 2Min). This
Hunt program will cover these speeds: 15% - 17% - 19% - 20% - 18% - 16% - 15% -
repeat. Please note that we used this tip WITH the first one to cover EVERY speed from
15 - 20%!
