Trolling motors with 5 speed control will work fine, I used a Motor Guide for years running in the lowest speed- Average .8 mph. Just right for long lining. $500 +- verse $1500.00. If you need to go deeper, Let out or take up line. 8/10' deep- let out a 1/16 jig 60' based on a 6# line. 2-16oz= 13/15' +-. I hope this helps

P.S - I have a $1500.00 unit now, but the MG/MK 45/55# is still a great way to go.
