Ray, I remember when I first started trolling,mostly Hal Flys, the man up ont had TWO rods and the man in the back had TWO. Man I thought I was commercial fishing with that many in the water.
On the transom mount trolling motor I think it's a lot harder to control the boat if your in any wind. I can remember folks " cutting down" the diameter of the trolling motor prop to slow it down, and how bout the Luhr Jenson speed deal that you hung over the side to get the speed right or run the same speed( if you weren't in current). I guess GPS put them out of production.
