    Default Terrova


    Is the foot petal like any other foot petal as far as reaction time? Seems like I have read somewhere that is was not a good motor jig fishing structure. Or maybe they were talking about spot lock or something. I'm bout to take my old motor off and just want to make sure because I'm not gonna be able to test it until Saturday.

    Slower to react. But you just have to get used to it and react accordingly.
    When nothing is going right, Just go fishing.

    Bird down.. Remote is all you need.. You'll hate the foot pedal unless the remote battery dies.. They're great for long lining spider rig'n, etc... But they absolutely SUCK for jig fishing.. By you a quick connect bracket and DONT get rid of your cable steer

    I have a hand control rip tide I been using. Used lots of foot controlled motors and like jig fishing with them but don't like putting a fish in the cooler and getting back to the bow and see that that I have floated off my spot.

    What do u do with the spare motor? I'm going back to the idea of putting both on the bow again but terrova is soo long it hangs off the side of the boat if I place it where it's not in the way. Also have a problem with transducer and two motors.

    With the Terrova, if you leave to put a fish in the live well - you can hit "spot lock" and the motor will automatically keep you on your spot. (Basically it is an electronic anchor)

    I run both the Terrova and the Fortrex on my boat and I have the Minn Kota brackets that allow me to change from one to the other quickly. I also put a transducer on each motor and have the universal sonar as a back-up as well.
    Take a senior or a kid fishing soon!
