Ask any touring pro angler if a hydraulic jackplate is worth the money and I’d bet the answer would be an emphatic “yes!” On the Bassmaster Elite Series, they’re considered essential equipment … for multiple reasons.
Although they may be a bit pricey, hydraulic jackplates can vastly improve the performance of your bass boat or flats boat, at the top end and in the ability to run shallower at low or high speeds. They can even improve the ride.
