Just want Spot-Lock. Without spending $2500.

[Tone357]

How about looking for a used one! I'm sure lots of guys have switched brands!

[KennyVexus]

I can make do without anything on my boat but my Ultrex...OK that is a bit over the top...but the Ultrex is awesome.

Anchor and rope

Took the words right off my key board!

[Bassmeister]

I wouldn't take nothing for my Ulterra.....70 years old and I don't have to lift that sucker......I can launch alone with no worries.... did I say I love my ulterra???? Worth every dime !

[JLWatts]

Seen a video saying the built in transducer doesn’t give as good of read outs as what each manufacturer’s down imaging transducer gives. Kind of a one size fits all deal. Just buy this cable that connects with your unit of choice; but I could be wrong. Somebody with more knowledge on this can correct me if I’m wrong. That’s seems to be the reason for multiple graphs; one does something better than the other.

so did stone tools, the abacus, and of course at one point my ex wife...amazingly there have been HUGE improvements that arrived for all of these... Oh and as an aside spotlock offshore on an ocean boat is fantastic.

we spot lock out in the gulf...them boys drifting look jealous as hell!

[Hoosier Bass]

100% worth the money...just do it and enjoy it

[Crabnbass]

Might be able to find a refurb and save a few bucks.

ultrex best money ever spent on my boat

[oscardog]

buy once cry once. You wont regret it. The ultrex will have somewhat of the cable steer pedal feel. I have an ulterra and I do not like the pedal at all.

Foot pedal sucked on the Ulterra for me. Didn't like it at all. Have the Ultrex now.

I use mine for a whole lot more than just anchoring in one place to fish. I use it when I am tying on another lure. I use it when I do catch a fish, I am in one place. I use it when i decide to take a break for lunch and can sit in one spot without worrying hitting something or going into the bank.
Really anything other than fishing and I am not paying that much attention as to where I am floating too.
But it sure is nice to just push a button and stay at that spot when I am around docks or when I want to stay at that certain spot on the water to fish slowly.

You had me at re-tying - especially 'cause it takes me 3x as long these days (I mean re-tying, of course).
Now, a plan to talk the boss into 'spot-locking' our tax refund ...

[Bassin08]

I had a Terrova on my last boat. The Spot Lock works great for many things, but fishing docks is a challenge with one. If your trying to parallel your boat with the docks, or shore with the wind blowing in, the motor will keep correcting to pull the nose of the boat into the wind.

I picked up a Terrova brand new in the box from some guy who bought it, never installed it and it sat
in his garage for a year. $1100. I did say thank you.

[WStorey]

I’m sorry but those Ulterras and Terrovas just look so ugly on bass boats to me

I can adjust to a trolling motor looking a little odd but for me nothing looks uglier than power poles on a bass boat. First time I saw some was waiting to put in at Falcon. I remember asking my son wth are them things sticking up on the back of that boat. He just laughed and shook his head and said I guess I can forget about putting them on ours.

The MG Tour Pro 24 volt without the transducer is only $2,024.75.

[PsuHntr]

I just got a non link ultrex for around 2100 bucks...so a little less than 2500 :)

[Casslaw]

I was always a power pole guy, but with the winds this winter in Florida and my new found love of cranking I can definitely wee how the spot lock would be an amazing upgrade! But, I want a new boat so I have to wait....which isn't in my nature!

Get what helps you fish your way! I figure by the time I get a new boat these trolling motors will be at least $200 cheaper!

[Great Scott]

The pros in my estimation would seldom ever need a spot lock.
The make a long cast, then w/the TM on high run to that bait, never fishing
but maybe a third of that cast length. Maybe there is a point to this style of fishing
that I'm missing. Their term of covering water is different than mine.
KVD once said, "when I fish slow, I still fish fast". LDS
