If you'd originally said Spotlock on the Terrova sucked, i wouldn't have replied as I can't agree more.

BUT, (isn't there always a but?) when any manufacturer advertises something, they should be held accountable when the product doesn't perform as advertised. I spent a lot of money based on their claim that spotlock would hold within a 5' radius. If it did, I'd be one happy camper and recommend it to the world. But, it doesn't, it can't and it won't! Period! That is false advertising and MK should be held accountable.
I haven't tried the new MG with the same spotlock type feature but, I'm betting it won't hold as advertised either. And, for us verticle jigging crappie guys it won't work either.
As Gene said, cable steer is the only way to go.
