Power pole or terrova I pilot

I can only purchase one of them. Which should it be?

IPilot! I have both and use the IPilot twenty times more than the poles.....love em both but if you can only have one get the IPilot!

iPilot for sure. You can use the spot lock to anchor down. Rarely use the power pole.

iPilot.

iPilot + 1

I have a Terrova, never have really needed a Power Pole with the I-Pilot...just have to adjust for wind a bit while using spot lock. (Bow into the wind)

ipilot

I -pilot. Life is to short to fish without it.

Ultrex

X10...

No question, Terrova.

I have both as well. I fish in Texas in the winter and Minnesota in the summer. Texas water (Dallas Area and East Texas) is usually deep and negates power poles. I use spot lock too many times to count in one fishing trip.

Spot lock is also nice as you will learn to use all of your boat to fish. I fish from the front to the back all the time.

Minnesota on the other hand is all weeds and generally shallower. I don't use spot lock much at all. Poles will get used a lot more.

I often tell my friends as they consider what to buy, "Next time you go out make a mental note of how deep the water is where you often fish". Everyone buys spot lock.

Neither, Ulltrex is operative word here.

iPilot. You can't spot lock in 20' of water with a power pole.

I recently sold my boat and bought a newer one. My old boat had a terrova and although I liked it I always wanted poles and an ultrex. My new boat has poles but a basic fortrex trolling motor. Having had a taste of both without either at the same time I would definitely say save up and get an ultrex first. The terrova is awesome out deep, but really falls behind up shallow.

If you fish off shore mostly get the TM with the I Pilot. If you fish less than 10ft of water most of the time, get a pole, simple get the gear that fits your fishing style.

Thanks for the replies!
