I’ve never fished with one. Does the spot lock just maintain you at a spot or can it maintain your location and boat direction/heading?

The spot lock/anchor (different manufacturers use different marketing labels) will hold the nose of your boat in the position you choose (by pushing the anchor/spot lock button on the trolling motor). Wind and/or current will swing the rear of your boat, and you'll be facing the current.

P.S. This is a great thread. I've been debating in my redneck brain about power poles. I have a Lowrance Ghost trolling motor - haven't yet been in a position (Spillway and Verret areas) where I've needed any thing beyond the "anchor" button.

I sure see a lot of Power poles out there, but I have yet to see someone actually using them.
