Really depends on the type of fishing you do. If you do more trolling/long lining/spider rigging than brush piles, I suggest the Terrova with I Pilot for controlling your speed and course/track. The Terrova is electric steer so the head responds a little slower than a cable steer one which can be frustrating when trying to fish a brush pile or shoot docks IMO, but you get use to it. Cruise control and anchor lock are nice features with the I Pilot as well. Well worth the $$, makes fishing a lot easier in most cases.
I went ahead and got the riptide 80# with ipilot, and advanced autopilot. Comes with a remote and I went ahead and got the electric foot pedal.
I think since my time on the water is limited I should have the best tool for the job for a quality trip when I go!
Worth every penny!!!!
Terrova is best money I have spent for Crappie fishing.
best thing I ever bought
Yep. I've kicked myself many times by waiting to get one. Makes trolling so much easier and less work. Get the foot control if you pad fish or close to the shore.Quote:

I agree with everyone else. I installed the terrova 2 years ago and it was well worth the money. Keep an eye on the minnkota website, they frequently have rebates this time of year.
