I have a Lund Pro Pike, vintage 1987. It is a tiller operated boat and I use a 50 lb thrust MK on the stern. We started trolling E TN mountain lakes last summer with three rods each. We have used 10', 8', and 7' rods with jigs , Road Runners and cranks. I have enjoyed this thread immensely and will probably be switching over almost entirely to jigs......as y'all have presented a great exposition on their use. Am I the only one on here who uses a transom mounted TM?
