Again it is what style fishing you do,but if you jig your boat will move 15 to 18 feet in each direction ,We check it on land hook up to truck and for jigging with one pole you are going to stay hung up most of the time,on cable one should master using it with either foot, now if you are going to use minnows then it would be ok over brush because you would fish a little higher than brush and moving around the brush would be good with many rods out,but for my style moving 20 to 40 feet in brush would drive me crazy ,tried it with a frirnd and had to go back to camp and get mine to keep from going insane,LOLwith no joke I was very uncomforable, so get in boat and fish your style a few minutes wiyh him before buying one,whats great for one is bad for another
