AboutKit Belen Expertise I can help with tackle making questionsinshore/offshore fishing from trolling,drifting, bottom fishing,light to heavy stand up style fishing, SoCAl iron, japanese vertical jigging,surf/shore/rock fishing...done it all!!!
Been a Pro at one time and I used to produce my own lures for trolling and I tie my own jigs and flies as well. More importantly, I'm always glad to help.
Experience I was a professional guide and a tackle manufacturer, was taken under the wing of a retaired marlin skipper who showed me the ropes and later joined the tournament circuit in my country.
I have put those on hold to pursue a career in the corporate world, but I still fish regularly and make my own lures and flies...I get the chance to travel the world and fish all around. I have experience on making the most out of fishing situations like when you have to fish on boats that are not designed for sportfishing. I generally make things challenging just to see how things tick, along the way, you would be amazed at what you learn.
Education/Credentials I hold a Marketing Degree and am currently work for a hotel company in the eMarketing and Communications field, here in Dubai, UAE.
I had undergraduate studies in Business Administration, Psychology and Economics.
Question I am aware that internal combustion outboard motors may be used in salt water if they are flushed out with fresh water. I am in the market for an electric trolling motor. If the motor is run in a bucket of fresh water after each use in salt water, can I save money by purchasing a fresh water model? Thank you, Joe
Answer Hi Joe, thanks for the question.
You can use a freshwater trolling motor in saltwater but it wouldn't really last. even if you flush it after every use since they are nmot as sealed as saltwater models, the materials they use don't resist corrosion as much as saltwater models.
in the long run, it wont last, but this depends on how much you use it in the salt, it wont hurt if you dont use it too often in saltwater.
