    HASWING OUTDOOR trolling motors?

    I am currently seeing what my options are for trolling motors. I am trying to find the most affordable 80lb thrust bow mounted trolling motor and I came across Haswing Outdoor trolling motors. Apparently, no one else makes an 80lb thrust trolling motor for under $1200. Even the old style cable foot control are over $1000. My boat currently has an 80 on it and I don't want to drop back to a 70 which are so much more affordable for some reason. Does anyone have any experience with Haswing Outdoor trolling motors?

    Never heard of them! You can get a used one pretty cheap without spot lock!

    I had one that came with the first boat I purchased. It worked just fine as a trolling motor. I had no complaints.

    Interesting, never heard of them. Just spent some time on their website and searched on youtube, two thumbs has a video on a fiberglass bassboat. The mounting looks potentially problematic (adaptor plate needed for my Basscat, and their website doesn't show much re foot control.

    Which particular model are you pursuing, and for what make/model boat?

    I will say some great (positive) testimonials are also on youtube.

    You get what you pay for! I would wonder why anyone with a $75,00 and up bass boat would skimp on the trolling motor unless the boat was on it’s last legs and money was extremely tight.
    Amazon has some, less than 200 reviews does not tell you much. An old beater boat on a farm pond might make sense for them. Good luck and I wish you well! JMO Bob

    Picked up a used 80 lb thrust Fortrex for a few hundred dollars.
