iTroll: We Never, Ever Compromise

iTroll Hunt Mode Description

Fish Picture



If you want to land the trophies, you have to HUNT them! Many customers have told us that HUNT Mode is the most powerful fish catching tool they have ever used! Simply put, HUNT Mode is iTroll's ability to run programmable throttle sequences. Varying speed makes your presentations look more realistic and is THE answer to any troller’s worst nightmare - the “Speed Rut”.

For years, anglers have used manual modes to vary speed like steering their boats in “S” patterns or occasionally pumping a rod. These actions quickly get tedious, so it is difficult to perform them over any length of time. Additionally, you can't do them if you are performing other tasks or are preoccupied (examples: rigging a rod or eating lunch).

HUNT Mode can achieve much greater speed variations than any manual method while doing it automatically with robotic precision!


HUNT Mode description:
"HUNT Mode" allows you to run three types of throttle behaviors:
A: Stepping / Searching
B: Cut Throttle
C: Bump Throttle

For maximum versatility, iTroll stores EIGHT HUNT programs in it's internal memory. Having these programs in memory allows you to instantly switch between them to accomodate varying conditions (upwind / downwind) or to fish different baits and presentations. The eight programs are allocated in this manner:
Stepping / Searching - 4 Programs
Cut Throttle - 2 Programs
Bump Throttle - 2 Programs


Stepping / Searching description:
You program low and high throttle settings and iTroll will step up and down between them. You set a step size for iTroll to determine how many steps there are between the throttle settings. Stepping programs excel in finding what speed / bait combination works best or to allow you to run multiple baits that prefer different speeds (examples: Trolling Flies vs Big Crankbaits).

A "stepping / searching" program consists of four programmable parameters.
- MinSpeed: The lowest throttle setting you want to troll at.
- MaxSpeed: The highest throttle setting you want to troll at.
- StepSize: Throttle step size
- StepTime: Time in minutes between steps

To observe what a searching program does, let's create a sample program with these parameters:
MinSpeed = 10%
MaxSpeed = 18%
StepSize = 2%
StepTime = 1 minute

The POWER of searching programs: In this program, there are FIVE throttle settings.

If there are 6 different baits being trolled, HUNT Mode makes an incredible 30 bait / speed presentations (6 baits X 5 speeds) to the fish every 5 minutes!

Searching has unbelievable power, but it is just ONE THIRD of HUNT Mode's fish catching talents!




Cut throttle description (simulates a tired, injured or dying bait):
Your trolling speed is “CUT” to a slower speed, and is then resumed. You choose when / how deeply the throttle is cut and the duration of the cut. Time at troll is programmable in minutes (1-12) and time at cut is programmable in seconds (1-60).

Years of feedback on CUT Programs indicate that it is probably THE most effective of the three HUNT Mode behaviors (the other two are searching and bump). When game fish are following a bait, stalling it puts it right in their face. If they don't grab it on the stall, they will often grab it when iTroll accelerates the boat back to troll. Cut mode presents baits in a way that triggers the opportunistic instincts in game fish.

Bump throttle description (simulates a fleeing bait):
Your trolling speed is “BUMPED” to a higher speed, and is then resumed. You choose when / how much the throttle is bumped and the duration of the bump. Time at troll is programmable in minutes (1-12) and time at bump is programmable in seconds (1-60).

When the fish are in active feeding mode, BUMP programs will light them up! Feedback indicates that using bump programs when there is a hot bite results in better quality fish. The crew at iTroll likes to use bump programs at first light or at dusk for fantastic results.

HUNT Mode makes ANY angler better. There may not be another fishing product that can increase your catch rate like a HUNT enabled iTroll. More than one tournament fisherman has told us that they conceal their iTroll's from their competitors since it gives them a distinct advantage.

If you are not "Hunting", you are just "Fishing"!
