NINJA GRASS BLADE

[bassnbeans]

has anyone lost their grass blade, i put one on my minn kota, it didn't last one day, i read the instructions and did it their way, i also waited 36 hours before going to the lake. not a happy camper. i called the guys who make them, told them the tape the sent didn't hold the blade on, one the the guys told me they would send me one for $30.00 [ wow a big deal] he said the shipping was $12.50, i live in ma. not across the ocean. well like i said not happy with their responds. i'll try another product. should have used, J B WELD ON THE BLADE

He's referring to the Ninja grass blade, not the Ninja trolling motor prop. Two different things.

To the OP, I installed one early this spring using the included double-sided tape and I haven't had any issues with mine.

Prep is key. Make sure to sand and clean. Ive had 3 now and never an issue.

Bob in this BBC thread > http://www.bbcboards.net/showthread....=#post11357521 < I asked you to send me a photo and still haven't received one. I agree $12.50 seems VERY high for shipping, but with the Virus maybe things have changed. I will contact Precision Sonar about the shipping price, but I have no control over that issue. I hate to lose a customer, but you seem to have your mind made up.

I contacted Precision Sonar and they have no knowledge of a shipping charge quoted at $12.50. What retailer did you request assistance from?

Put one on about 5 years ago with the tape and never an issue.

I put 2 on my minnkota , Blazed thru the grass like nothing and at times motor would be thumping but made it thur and both stayed on the motor , had a break down and had take motor to shop and needed to take off (wouldn't work on it with them on) and had a heck of a time getting them off . So install is very important cleaning and sanding I take it. Only thing is need to take a file to the blade to sharping them up so they cut good.

I had the original on my MG, ran it for 2 years, then took it off and put it on my Ghost, been running it for a while with NO issues. I sanded the area first, cleaned with alcohol and installed with the tape shipped. I used 3M tape when I transferred it over to my Ghost.

[SWbass]

are they effective ?

[721Proxs]

They work VERY well. I never had grass etc wrapped around my TM blade after putting one on like before. Well worth the $ in my opinion.

[bassmastermatt]

I agree wholeheartedly! They are well worth the money. I installed one last fall, and have run it all summer here in MN. Don't even have to think about taking weeds off the prop. Would be the #1 suggested product for a new bass angler to get (that they don't likely have that is). No I am not sponsored or associated with them in any way. Just love the product.

[SWbass]

thanks for the replies Jav400DC and bassmastermatt I might have to add one this winter for next year

I have had two fall off. I was able to recover the second one and epoxied it back on. I do not like the tape. The thing does cut up some grass though, I really like it when it is on.

i have two on my Ultrex. Work vey well in the thick stuff where I fish. Would nvever have a troller without them anymore. I've never had a problem with the tape either, with this Ultrex or my previous one. Important to clean with alcohol before installing.

jdwo2212, so when you sand are you removing the paint to get to bare metal or are you just getting it smooth?

[Bass Cat Boats]

Good product, works great with fresh tape.

I do not recommend removing the paint.
