Machete - Motorguide / Minn Kota ???
 

I have seen the Motor Guide Machete. My partner, Hammer, uses it on his
Motorguide. It seems to be a very good weedless design. The big thing
though is that Hammer sharpens the blades on his, and it really cuts through
the weeds. I was very impressed with it.

I really like the blade, and the idea. Unfortunatley, I can't find one for
my Minn Kota. I'm not about to sell my new Minn Kota Maxxum and buy a Motor
Guide to take advantage of this.

I do have a MotorGuide 76# that I had reapired and keep as a spare, but I
doubt I will put it back on my Baker unless the Minn Kota fails. I like the
control of the Minn Kota better.

I did recently order a 16' Waco jon boat for shallow backwater running. I
might put the Motor Guide on that, but I woould really like a Machete style
prop for my Minn Kota.

Machete - Motorguide / Minn Kota ???
 

I've always filed my plastic blades... mostly out of having to knock the
roughness off from where I try to beat up rocks. I didn't look at what kind
of blade you mentioned earlier, so I wasn't thinking metal anyway. I doubt
that a metal blade would last too long around here.

Machete - Motorguide / Minn Kota ???
 

Bob,
I have seen a trolling motor blade somewhere that had a mod done to it
to add a couple of serrated steak knife blades attached as the leading edge
of the motor prop. It looked like a pretty good idea, but would need to be
done on a spare prop. I imagine you could figure out a way to grind a small
area flat on the blade, then screw or rivet the blade onto that flat. I
could see a good use for this in several of the lakes I fish. It'd be nice
to have them removable to make sharpening easier...

It would also leave a nice chum trail if you came across a school of
minnows...
