20XD with 225 Pro XS with 1.75 gears and low water lower and 12" plate. What props are most running tournament loaded ? Blade styles and pitch? Thanks Jeff S.

I have never propped a boat with your set-up but it seems like the Bravo fits just about any application for a fishing.
I would also say that a TXP 4 O/T would be a great fishing load prop. I have had very good results with those two props for a fishing load and thats all I run for tournaments. I have not found an over the hub to satisfy my needs for fishing as of yet but I have not tried many. I am stuck on the Bravo.
Pitch I really have no idea. but I am sure someone can fill you in. Maybe 26"
Actually now that I think about it I would be VERY interested to see how the new Fury would run. I have heard very good things about that prop. The Fury may be the way to go.
I know of a guy running the same rig with a 28 Pro ET, it's a running son of a gun! Not sure of his gearset though.

I had the same set-up on my last boat and the best runnin prop I found was the
26 Trophy which has a reputation for slingin blades,but fortunately I ran the same prop for years without any problems.It was good on hole shot,awesome mid and top.

He makes it sound like a coned torque master is the way I take it.
28-30 Bravo 1 for fishing
28-29 Hydromotive for speed

Dang I didn't think he would be able to turn a prop that steep.
Lower is a bob's coned torque master. Rich (yellowjacket), can these 225's turn a 30" bravo1 ? I figured a 28 but a 30 is pretty tall. What kind of speeds are these running. How heavy are you loaded with these props? Any setup help could be very helpfull. Thanks Jeff S.

Let me know if I can help you
Heck thats pretty dang good there Rich. And the slip numbers don't seem to be too bad.
FSHRMN1010. I think with the nosed cone you will be able to run higher and maybe pick up a mph or 2. Sounds like Rich (yellowJacket) is your man to talk to for this set-up
Very interesting. Learn somthing new every day.
Yeah, I agree I'm giving up a few mph with the Torque Master LU. A Cone or Sport Master should / may gain a few more mph
try a 28 txp 4 blade, should run you close to 89 mph with a load
and a 28 hydromotive should put you around 87-88 mph..
motor height around 1/2 in above the pad
