Here from lemon party
It is half a san diego jam knot . Same way i tie my san diego jam although double the line thru the eye . But i tie it pretty fast and use that same action spinning the lure around 6 times . Although the san diego jam is much tougher to cinch and clip
Great video but need to know where to get the rubber and what it’s called
James whitemyer?
All i gotta say is that last name sounds like it could cause some trouble😂😂
Dang bro I wonder how many people have been fired because they accidentally hit e and r at the same time while taking your info.
Yo james im black, let me holler at you real quick
He is not the only Niggemeyer with James as his name
I like a Yamatanuki! Dye the tip orange!
what is your veiw on the livewell?
JAMES WHAT
Love a swim jig bite, very cool. Thank
Finally a Ranger!!!
James WHATmeyer fishing
Fabulous video
Nice boat 🤙 I just did the first 2 hrs on my 200 proxs. Couldn't do full throttle though. So just did from 1000 - 4000 rpms for 2 or 3 minutes at a time.
Thanks - continuous break I think is best
Soft finese worm Soft swimbait Jitterbug Deep diving crankbait Spinnerbait
Nice line up no jig though?
@@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 I generally use my swimbaits "Keitecs" as jigs on the bottom when needed for smallmouth esp. Hard to believe a tubebait isn't on the list either but the swimbait can be used to replace so many lures , very versatile.
What size boat cover for your boat?
I don’t have one that actually fits well but I am using an older Ranger cover on it
James getting me into fishing thank you God Bless
14 inches on cedar is legal
awesome ranger what is color of that ranger.👍
I just cant get over the price. Its a cool boat, and I would love to have one. But for the same money you can get a Hell of a nice fiberglass boat
James what?!
Crazy last name 😅
All that plastic on the console reminds me of a Bass Tracker. For the money that boat cost should have Fiberglass console with no plastic that won't get brittle . The plastic gives it a cheap look also
Mate, that moon symbol in the top left corner of your ranger ride system should be a light dimmer for the screen if you tap on it you should see that your screen gets a little darker.
Oh wow…your right 🤣 my bad, hadn’t needed to dim it even in the early mornings because it isn’t as bright as a an electronic unit. Thanks for the comment!
@@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 I better be right when I comment about Ranger Boats I sell and work on them for a living 🤣
What RPM?
5730-5740 RPMS I didn’t actually say that but it was towards the second half of the video in text
Glorified Bass Tracker. I own 2016 Z520 and a 2024 Vexus 189C..no comparison in quality of boxes. The Z520 is pre-Bass Pro influence. No compariosn.
The power pole brackets soap, the whole back end of your boat on turns I don't like that
Needs a nicer cover for the digital gage to sit in. Looks plastic
Never heard anything about how dry the boat rides. Compared to glass.
Very cool. Thanks for sharing your experience with this boat.
Thank you!
Love it! With a little work, maybe run about 70 mph? Plenty fast enough as you showed. Great alternative to glass boats. Still haven't seen one in the wild, but hope to soon. Thanks for posting the videos, and good luck to you Sir!
Thanks, appreciate the feedback and kind words!
I love everything about the 208 except the "ride" screen system. If this rig had regurlar analog gauges, i would love it even more. Having a screen there is just asking for issues for me personally. I'd break it somehow. Plus, i wonder how that screen can handle the sun beating on it all the time?? If the aluminum holds up structural wise, this is a perfect rig. Some of the tin rigs with big HP engines are slowly tearing apart from the stress. If ranger has this perfected, then tjis is a dream boat for me.
With the Lowrance on the console and vessel view on the engine you can have those gauges on the depth finder. I have that on mine and I love it.
@jameslovelace8958 that's true. Running vessel view on the lowrance solves that issue for sure. I can't help myself I don't trust those screen thr newer boats are coming with. I'm the type of guy that if I buy a new boat I plan to keep it 20 years. That's the only reason I think about that type of stuff. My 98 champion 203 is going strong but if something major ever happens to it the boat your showcasing would be my choice
This is my third Ranger Ride system and I really like them. What few issues I’ve had for an easy remedy or update.
Magnificent review! I have been eagerly awaiting this. 60 plenty fast for me
Thanks, glad you liked it! 👍
Awesome!! Looks like a perfect setup. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you sir!
My RT198 (Mercury XS Pro150 )has just as good of a hole shot. My RT198 with a tournament load, full tank of gas, and 2 people will run 50 mph without putting a strain on the engine. Based on your video, that boat probably runs and rides better between 55-60mph. The boat really doesn't do anything for me that I would considering buying. My Rt198 is now 4 plus years old and has never had an one issue with it. Just about all the new boats manufactured in the last 2-3 years are just built cheaper and with less Quality Control. I also fish tournaments and her other boat owner's complain about their new boats and wished they kept their old boats. When the time comes, I will buy a used boat that was well maintained, before I purchase a new boat. Best of luck with it!
That boat isn’t even in the same zip code as this boat. Two completely different things
I have a 198P also, but the layout of the 208 looks to have a much wider deck. I have enough deck length with the 198, but it feels cramped and narrow at times. I agree the 198 is plenty fast enough for where I fish.
@@stevedennison4438 I agree the deck is a little wider but not by much, for me to spend 70K plus (rigged out) to just go to a little wider deck and a little faster boat, especially with gas prices today. Ranger boats are just trying to compete with Xpress boats. I have owed several fiberglass boats in the past and I don't plan on getting rid of my RT198P. Still runs great, looks good, and has enough speed for me.😁
I’ve owned the Ranger Rt188 and Rt198, loved them both - great boats! The Ranger Alpha 208 needs to be experienced to fully grasp how great a boat it is. Glad you love your Ranger boat!
@@notsogood6249the bigger boat and engine gives you a bigger fishing platform , more speed , more storage and hopefully a smoother ride. If the 198p fits your needs . Then this boat isn’t for you . But you are not everyone.
Thanks
Thank you
That’s a nice rig and it will scat too!
Yessir she is and will…appreciate your comment!
Thank you, yes she is and she will boogie! 😊
First
Where’s the on the water video!!!!
Coming out tomorrow at 4
Sorry for the long delay
@@jamesniggemeyerfishing3432 AWESOME! You’re busy and I get it. Just super excited to see it! If I was you I would make a dozen on the water vids, nobody has any. If you want some eyes, it’s a win for right now!
Really want to see this coat on the water, what are you getting on top speed and cruising speed, is the 250hp too much?
I find myself using spinnerbaits more and more these days
👍
The Trokar TK190 or the Eagle Claw tube hooks are by far the best hooks on the market, no more issues with the tube sliding down the hook
Would really like to see an "on the water" video.
You seem like a well valued genuine Christian man🙏🏻🙌🤝💪
Late to the party here, but I was looking thru videos on how to mount a transducer on my jon boat without drilling holes in it and watched this video and a video where someone used a product called Stern Saver. In all honesty, if a person has a garage and does a lot of handi-work, they probably have everything they need to get this done. If not, the stern saver is a good option for a person who can DIY. More impressive than the video is the fact that the stern saver inventor left a "book" sized comment and you didn't delete it. Shows you were trying to help us fishermen out, where that guy is just trying to help $$ out of my wallet. Anyway, thanks for sharing and keep the lines tight!
What is bros name 💀💀💀
Looks like a pain in the ass to change the batteries. The way they are tucked up under the lip
James, i live in South Africa and just stumbled onto your channel by accident with my gr 11 boys. We love bass fishing and rhis video was SO interesting i subscribed immediately. Can i ask you if you can make a video showing us how to make a wire baitkeeper that we can attach to a weighted hook. The dams we fish has tons of grass in them so we want new ways to fish. Weighted texas rigs doesn't always solve the problem and i thought the baitkeeper from a frog hook on a weighted hook will solve the issue. The weights on the weighted hooks tare the soft plastic baits so we need help.
