The Combo cone is our most popular sport fisher model.  It has 5 inlets on the bottom of the bullet, and 4 holes above the bullet.  The intakes “suck” where you put them, so if in shallow water you can block the lower ones, but the top will always remain open.  Once you get up and moving again the lower will flush out and be fine. If you need a recommendation for which style of nose cone is right for you, please give us a call or email.

If you are using a smaller motor or the Mercury Inline gear case, please choose the ‘inline’ option, it is a shorter unit.  Rule of thumb is any engines 90 hp or smaller need the inline kit.  If you are smaller than 60hp, please call first, as the cone will require modification to work, and you might perfer to send in for factory installation.
