Thread: First experience with long line trolling.

The co-pilot is nice. But if ya have the funds go for the I-Pilot. It is a nice item to have aboard. I upgraded from co-pilot to I-Pilot. Like night and day for me. Good Luck and keep the reports comin.

I've long lined in spring and fall with success, but never had good results when they're deep...but that probably depends on the lake a bit, too.

Beginner's luck. I will take any help I can get.
My wife just wants to catch fish. I am by far the one that likes to understand how all the nuts and bolts fit together.

I have a co-pilot on my terrova trolling motor. I like the little remote a lot; otherwise my wife would have to learn to be much more self-sufficient on the boat than she currently is.

At the time we bought the boat it came with a Minn Kota Terrova trolling motor with co-pilot. Maybe down the road when I figure many more things out I will get the I-pilot. It does have many features that would be very nice.

To convert my v1 would have been major changes to go from copilot to ipilot
