CC is you have auto pilot LLT out of the back of the boat is gonna be easier and funner. I'm new to it myself and WISH I had the auto pilot feature JUST so I could get to the back of the boat and fish. AS for a trolling plate for pulling jigs, I just use the trolling motor OR the WIND or a combination of both. Wait, if you are using the big motor you will be in the back anyway. Any kind of rod holders will work on the back but I made these just for LLT horsehead jigs. The only problem is letting go of the big wheel long enough to get the pole that has a fish if it's far away. That and tangles. Multiple fish shouldn't be too much of a problem as the boat is going to set the hook and then just pull them along for the ride.
