    Are the new Bluetooth Talons lighter than the older non-BT Talons

    Did they lighten up the talons any with the new thinner design or are they still the same weight as the older models?

    I’m still deciding but leaning towards the new BT Talons, limited room in Ranger for C-monsters and 4th battery. Where do I get more info on these besides Minn Kota’s website?

    no issue with mounting them in the Rangers even with 4th battery. However if you still wanna go Talon Bassman 25 is your guy!

    I noticed no weight difference between my 10 foot Talons last season and my 10 foot BT Talons this season. To make them Bluetooth is just a control board change so no weight there, the onboard light was a slight change to the top cover, no weight there and the shape change was just that, not a bunch more or less of metal.

    Great units, easy to operate and if you are running a Humminbird in your boat, even more useful due the extra level of integration.
