Trolling motor slapper/thumper for striper and sandbass

[dpg481]

Have any of you guys put one of the rigs on your boat yet. I'm looking for a place to buy a slapper or thumper prop for a trolling motor. I have been on guide boats that have them and they work to draw the fish close to the boat once you find them.

I've seen thumpers that are it's own unit. Never seen a trolling motor prop that thumps. What does it thump against?

It mounts in the place of the regular trolling motor prop an is set right at the water line an turned on making a slapping or thumping sound. It drives the fish nutts. It seems to be a secret that guides dont really want clients to know about.

Last person I talked to that had one made his own. There is a guy on TFF that sells a complete unit.

I will see if I can find it, I may just have to build something.

For those interested, my friend sent me this picture of what he put on his boat. It's a piece of aluminum angle he cut. He said it works great. Also I found a a company called grayline who makes a bolt on model for $50.

I've seen a guide us a dead blow hammer on the side of the boat before to get them into a feeding mood. Not sure how it works but it did. I watch the school come up off bottom and go to feeding.

I never knew this was a thing. Gotta be a certain sound cause my kid is notorious for slamming lids and dropping stuff on the bottom of the boat

Slamming lids and dropping stuff will scare away a school. Steady “ thump” will call them in. Advantage to the Bobo thumper is it keeps thumping while you’re reeling in fish holding the school

And this is mostly used for wintertime and whites, stripers, hybrids?
