Will this be enough if you have a spot lock trolling motor?

I’m in that boat right now, pun intended.
I want another power pole lol.

That was my last set up, this time around I scratched the power pole.
Spot lock is the bomb

I will never own another boat without dual power poles. It's a must have. For the record I also have an ulterra and running a single pole has never crossed my mind.

Hell, I’d be happy to find 1 power pole right now. Supply and demand is an issue with COVID. Spoke to power pole this morning and they said 3-6 backorder.

1 is plenty w spot lock

one power pole with no Ipilot kinda blows.
two power poles ok.
ipilot with one power pole is better.
ipilot with two power poles is probably nice, but unnecessary.

I use an anchor and catch a limit almost every time I go.
Y'all are high maintenance.

One power pole with a regular trolling motor is perfect if you’re not out in the middle of big lake on a windy day trying to stay in one spot. It does just fine for me fishing points and canals.

I had the same issue. I mostly fish marsh and didnt want to deal with selling my trolling motor so I put another power pole on. Game changer for me

I have two power poles. which is good for for shallow water 8' and under. but I wish I had a spot lock for lakes. 8' and deeper. This is my next purchase. I fish different depths and it would be great to have both. especially when I fish Toledo bend. Personally A spot lock I would purchase first. Just my opinion.

Spot Lock is amazing- I watched a guy 3 weeks ago or so at Isle Au Pitre with a 256 Blackjack- no pole down, don’t remember if he had one or not.
Bow to the wind, the waves were knocking the prop out the water- every. single. time. And it held him there.
I was amazed.

The model I ordered keeps getting pushed back by Motorguide. Really frustrating. It's the final piece to my total boat upgrade.

My last boat had 1 pole when I bought it and an I pilot. I added a second pp.. problem with it is the area I fish is soft mud so anything over 4 ft with a 10 mph wind the boat wouldn't hold.. my new boat doesn't have pp.. spot lock does all I need it to do..

Spot lock is 2nd only to a reliable outboard on my list of boat requirements these days.
Eta: to answer OP, I dont have a power pole at all and dont feel limited. One power pole is plenty good with an ipilot trolling motor.

Spot lock guys, a word of advice... Download and familiarize yourself with the Ipilot app. Last week I was in GI and after my first stop, my remote was cooked.. I kept getting errors on it and after talking to MK, They said the board was done. My trip would’ve been close to fricked if it wasn’t for the app.. it’s a little bit of a pain in da arse to us but it’ll salvage a trip until you get replacement remote.

I have a foot control now and a spare remote. I broke my remote about 5 minutes into a trip once so I have two backup plans.
frick fishing with an anchor while you have $3000 fancy arse trolling motor in the way of the rope.
