Don't really see the need for one,


Try fishing in the wind and stay on the fish while dancing on the trolling motor. Much easier to drop the power pole cover the area and move on. Plus if you catch a fish or need to retie or rebait the wind isn't blowing you across the lake.

I don't have them on my boat but they will be my next upgrade.

Also what is nice are the trolling motors that hold position. I put a new one my boat last year or I would have one of those.

My problem is, I am never in water shallow enough for them to help me when this is going on. Oh, and no dancing with hand control.

I have many many times as I used to tournament fish. The problem is when targeting bass I usually fish in 10-20 feet of water. When shallow water fishing I don't want to stay in one spot. I'm not saying it doesn't have its place if I fished a lot in tidal situations but even with that I use a trolling motor.
