    Default I been thinkin...


    I was wonderin, if the new ulterra's are the next big deal why don't I see more of the pro circuit guys fishing with electric steer TM's? Most all the tourny guys I see are still using cable steer TM's and ALL the bass pros still use the cable steer. I was wondering what the cons are to them? I obviously don't have one but what little video I've seen of people using this kind seemed noisy to me when they turned the motor.

    Bass fisherman do not need power drive TMs. The Power drives are great though for crappie fisherman that like to troll with multiple rods.....you can set a course and spend time watching your rods instead of fooling with steering the boat. If your a single pole crappie fisherman then you really do not need one. I have had my Terrova with I Pilot for five years now and I would hate to do without it. Come to a crappie tournament in MS on one of the big 4 and its about all you will see.
    I have spent most my life fishing........the rest I wasted.

    A lot of the pro crappie guys do run them. I have a terrova and I really do not think I will ever go back to a cable steer. I fish alone a lot and while setting out my poles I just hit spot lock and once set up off I go. They take a little getting use too but it's fort style of fishing for sure. I also have the foot pedal. All linked to my depth finder.

    Like you GETDANET, I mostly fish alone. The Spot Lock anchor system is the main reason why I bought mine. Works exactly the way I wanted it.
