Thread: Any opinions on minn Kota newly improved Spot Lock

LOVE IT!!! My catch rate has improved significantly since I bought it!

I will buy one when they fix the shaft to accept a transducer cable.... what a pain to have to fight your cable all the time...

I don’t have to fight the transducer cable twisting anymore I bought the da-ducer apparatus from rnvinc here on crappie.com, absolutely love it

Yes sir, stows and deploys just like a trolling motor, can be mounted easily and wherever fits your boat, doesn’t take up much space either, also it keeps the transducer pointed in fixed position so when I turn the trolling motor I still see images correctly in relationship to boat

Are y'all saying the new Ultrex doesn't have the groove in the shaft like my Terrova.?

I can’t say, I only have a terrova, I don’t use the groove on the shaft, I use the da-ducer , I like the transducer pointing forward not spinning with my trolling motor

The uktrex DOES have a groove, but I didn't use it. The mega transducer cable is thick and does not sit below the top of the groove. I just attached mine down one side of the shaft so that it would not rub anywhere. With an Ultrex, you can run a transducer cable just like you can on regular cable steer trolling motors. The motor will not keep spinning around and around. So you just have to leave enough slack, or loop, to allow the motor to do fully left and right.
