trolling motor

[byrumjr]

[font "Arial"][size 2]Welcome to Big Fish. I don’t know much about trolling motor just from my experiences with them. A lot of things has to be consider like the weight of the boat and are you going to be fishing in a lot of current. I would go with around a 50 lbs thrust. Most motors have variable speeds so you can used the low speeds for fishing and if the wind is blowing you can used the high speeds. I have a 36 lb thrust foot control on my 16 foot boat. If the wind is blowing it won't move, it just holds it’s own. Foot control or hand control, it’s just what you want and how much you want to spend. I like and have both on different boats I have. Foot control is better if you are doing a lot of casting. I like hand control for crappie fishing. Hope this help you a little. Once again Welcome and if I can help you in anyway just ask.[/size][/font]
